Quote from Phil Jackson:

"In basketball -- as in life -- true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment, not just when things are going your way."

Substitute 'basketball' with 'football' and realize these losing and struggling teams are going to fight us hard (like the Browns did last year) and pull out all the stops to win. All those prior years of torment as a Saints fan should've left you with thick skin.

Years ago, we would've been on the other side of this equation - a team with no hope that everybody laughed at but every once in a while we had a shining moment of redeption. We shouldn't be upset when the tables are turned.

Yes it can be tempting to think that radical changes are in order, but there is a large degree of patience that comes along with being a lifetime fan.
