Here's the thing...

Been a Saints fan since I was four; met Archie Manning at a Bank Opening/Signing when I was six and I was hooked...

My first game attended in the Dome in 1979 saw the Saints lay a big egg; Dan Fouts and the Chargers dropped 35; and everyone around us, including my Dad, said the Saints were on drugs...

Became a Season Ticket holder when I turned 18 - that season was their first winning season - Thought My Life Was Charmed. Then I watched during the Mora tenure as we got "real close" but we never got a real quarterback and played not to lose...

I endured Ditka/Diliberto; Jim Haslett/Brooks; watched as Jim Kuharich kept us in mediocrity; and Tom Benson tried to steal the Saints to his back porch in San Antonio...

Am I spoiled, neaux. If I was spoiled we'd average 14 wins over the next 10 years under Drew and his "Steve Young" replacement with Five Superbowls and a big "up yours" to the rest of the league over same period; then, I'd be spoiled...

Steelers sucked it for forty years before they had their dynasty in the 70's - so, as irrational as it seems, I want the same, nay, better success to bask in...

capisce?

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
