Is it embarrassing to some of you guys as well?

Seer1 · 12-31-2011, 09:46 AM

Childish? Yeah, your point? Football is a game. Is it really supposed to be enjoyed the same way we enjoy a PowerPoint on the next Quarter's projected sales? Even though the No Fun League seems to think the answer to that question should be yes, I must answer this question with another. Really? Humor and fun have been close companions since the dawn of humankind and plays on words have been one of the mainstays of humor since we communicated with grunts, clicks and whistles. Donkeys, Dalless, Cleveland Clowns, Atlanta Clowns (compliments actually as clowns are scary), Aints, Bungles, etc... it's all fun and funny. You have my sympathies if you find no amusement in childishness as you've truly lost an important part of yourself.

One would think, given the context of the OP question...this is the offseason!

True. Or that we have become so confident and expect winning we are now on cruise control.

Given what happened with the Cardinals and Seahawks last season and the Rams this year...I find it hard to become complacent or over confident...even with 13 W's!

We have nothing to be embarrased about. If Falcan't fan or Viqueen fan gets upset by what they read on this board then so be it. I think we mainly use those names among ourselves here on the forum to show disdain for our major rivals. I'm sure Cowgirl fans can understand that.

Wow - I had never seen that until I got on this site & then I got into the fun!!

So I guess my answer is no.

It may be juvenile but hey a lot of things we say & do on this site could be considered so.

I am not so old that I take myself completely seriously & if I am juvenile & offending people - so be it!!

I guess the next question/complaint/observation will be about people using the smiles too much!!

Before we rip on other teams, let's remember that it was OUR fans who wrote 'Aints' on paper bags and then wore them.

Yep, I don't mind it at all. its part of our history and I'm proud of it. I'm proud this lowly pathetic franchise rose from laughing stock to world champs. And many of us were fans the entire time, through the good and the bad.

When I hear other fans call us the Aints, I just smile.

Always remember where you came from. Never forget.

...and remember we are not there yet..we are like every other team that won...............1..........Super Bowl...

Saints are an elite team because of ability....The entire franchise isn't elite until we have 2-3 Trophies in the case.
