Re: Trying to curb the enthusiasm?
Imagine using that "sports logic" with everything else in life:
"Don't get so excited about starting that new job you always wanted... you may get fired..." "Don't be so excited to drive that new sports car... you may get a flat tire..." "Don't enjoy that movie just yet... the plot may get simplistic..." "Don't be excited you are going on a vacation to Fiji... it may rain..." "Dont be so excited having sex with that gorgeous brunette... your wife may call..." |

"Yes you won $300M in Powerball. But now you have to pay $150M in taxes..... Dumbarse" who wants to pay $150M in taxes.

I still have pictures I've clipped from both on my Wall O Saints. Every year, since '83, I've believed we were going to the Super Bowl. I thought we were going to win the Super Bowl, when Richard Todd was QB. I remember struggling with the am signal from WWL, when I lived in BFEast TX, and being excited to hear pieces of a preseason game, because THIS... THIS is OUR year. It was 1985. "Hey look, we got Jim Everett." It just didnt matter; I Believed. And I went into work excited about my tickets, and my new Quinn Early jersey. I reached an age, where I realized the important thing wasnt the result. It was driving thru Lafayette, and eatin something spicy, or hopping down Poydras to the live Jazz band... Its the hurricane on Saturday night, and raising hell with the WhoDAts. Just love your Boys, and yell like hell for them, and maybe we'll mess up the 49ers or the Rams, and of course, ATL. So the 1st date with my wife, she asks if I liked the Cowboys, or who? I said, "Well... my team sucks, and they'll probably suck again this year... but you're in New Orleans, so you're having fun, and our colors are black and shiny gold, so you'll have a blast getting dressed." We got married during the '06 season. I was feeling lucky. -- It's the most wonderful time of the year. Enjoy it. |

Re: Trying to curb the enthusiasm?
I enjoy it plenty. I also always strive to be better, and expect the same from the teams that I root for. Work is never done.

Re: Trying to curb the enthusiasm?
It is true that this is only preseason and the Saints have only played two below average teams.
That being said... They can only play the teams lined up against them and it's much better (and more fun) to look good against bad teams than bad against them. |
