If your over 25 and a New Orleans Saints fan you fall into one of two main categories in my opinion. You were born that way and know what it is like to be a fanatic of a team that brings nothing but heartache, but stuck through until the glory days; or you are someone who was a fan of another team through their glory days and became a New Orleans Saints fan when the team started having their... (no judgement, it is what it is) and there is still a % of people who do not fall into either category for what ever their reasons are... Those are however the two main.

Regardless of win or loss we should all endeavor to support our team, and try to keep in mind the true competitive nature of the NFL Football player. I do not doubt at all that there is no collective group of people or individuals that wants to win more on game day than our Saints.

It would benefit the Saints nation if we all step back and try to not become "New Yorkerish" and throw a parade after every victory yet put the team in the stockade after a loss. These players did not suit up and take the field with the intent to lose, get intercepted, burnt, manhandled, or fumble the ball. As painful to a fan as all of that is to watch, that was not the players intent. They are human just like we are, EVERYONE has a bad day at work periodically.

As a Saints fanatic if I were written about in the annuals of fandom I would want to be known as a fan that always supported my team through victory and defeat.... We should lose with class, and win with modesty.

Benson trying to move the team aside.... That team has stuck by its fans (all of us) and city through thick and thin. Lets remember that before we start hating for a bad play, week, season.

Even Shanle. I love to beat up on him when I can, but I would still buy that slow non tackling motherfkr a beer if I ever ran into him.
