How is it

It was "Dallas" thats why.. we were expected to beat Dallas so it's not a big deal even with the great plays but had Dallas beaten us it would be on every bulletin board, magazine, sports site, news ticker, radio show, Tv show, bottled water, milk carton, refrigerator magnet, Donuts box, Burger wrapping, X-box cover and probably painted on the side of the Cowboys stadium for weeks.

Yeah what else is new welcome to New Orleans. But what happened to our Super-Bowl buddies they sure did a slide.

ehhh... Everybody knows that Rankin Smith and that guy that owns ESPN, Mr. ABC, are good friends. Yeah, they got uh... an "arrangement." If you look closely, you can see em sitting together on tha bus where they bob their heads and go play outside with them underpriviledged kids. Yeah, they dont even recognize All Saints Day in New York. And if you get one of them big shaggy dogs, the just call it a "Bernard." Its ya basic common knowledge. Hey, who ya thinks gonna win Sunday?

Da Saints!

Because we are a small market team. The networks play up to their largest audiance. Dallas could be 0-10 and they would have a weekly special on them. I don't think it has anything to do with favortism.

Thats crazy. We're small market like Green Bay is small market, true, but we both inspire much passion across the country. And again, they fail to recognize the scope of Who Dat Nation. New Orleans proper might be a smaller NFL city, but Who Dat Nation blankets the Gulf Coast, several Southern states, and owns Houston!

I agree with all of that. I can't really explain Green bay but to say that it might have to do with a long running tradition as one of the leagues oldest teams? I don't think Green Bay will get as much attention now that Farve is gone. It's all about who is tuning in and will buy the Gatoraide after they play the commercial. They will get a larger audience in philly than N.O.

Hell even North Louisiana are Dallas fans. Our market "area" is still the southern coast and that isn't as populated as say the Dallas market area.

Yep, that's it.
