LMAO i think i still the last bag from the last game in a box some where. i use to sell bags out front of the dome all made up and set to go. beer money baby

how about the times were the real contest on the field was to see who could land an airplane on the logo at the 50? everyone cheered and i mean everyone

now those were the days lol

kids today have no idea what they missed out. sold out stadium with 10 to 20 thousand seats to pick from.

everyone drunk as skunks talking about how to fix this freaking team

the players getting the most attention was special teams? we had the best. plenty of 3 and outs to practice with. hell ESPN labeled us the most knowledgeable fans in the NFL i think that bit was in the 70's or 80's. Every two to three years we would get another phase of the game to study. we were never distracted by the others phases of the game because well they suxed.

the first winning season? Finally we are winners yippee

the first playoff appearance? lost? who cares we made it

on and on and on

amazing what perspective gives you.

Trust us old timers: it can get a whole lot worse than this

Preach on Pastor Hagan, Preach on. and sometimes it didn't even matter if we won or lost, just that the team fought their asses off. We had a team and they're our own NEW ORLEANS SAINTS.

True, think of the current Cleveland Browns, only worse and for much longer.

The bags seemed like a lifetime ago. We will stay competitive with SP and Drew around. The next chapter will be the big question, by that time most of us older fools will be to senile to know whats going on.

Hahaha! I grew up 100 miles south of Cleveland. They had a competitive edge and were doing the right stuff, but then loaded up the trucks one night and moved to Baltimore where they're still winning Superbowls. So they bring in a new team with the same name and a sign on the front window saying, "Piss poor management wanted." But that's alright because everyone knows Ohio's true pro team is the Buckeyes.

Then I head south the second Dempsey kicked that field goal with half a foot (and -according to ignorant haters, an illegal shoe) figuring any team that'll hire a guy with half an arm and half a foot is my kind of team. Haven't ever turned back. I bet there's still beer on the ceiling of that apartment from the game that put us into our first winning season. Hell, used to throw a party whenever the Saints would be on TV outside their local area. Also in another apartment the day Benson bought the team figuring a player didn't need to be born in Louisiana to be a Saint anymore. Washed the beer off the wall from the day we brought in Drew.....

Buckeye by birth, Who Dat by choice!

Yep, the 70's-80's-90's aren't even close to coming back. If anyone's laughing at the Who Dats these days, listen closely. It's a nervous, scared laugh.
