I love this kind of thinking...

The NFL world in general has never been able to handle the Saints success. It's easier for people to have their neat little box where the Saints suck and so when they don't there is a strong negative reaction.

Add some Katrina backlash, and you have all the absurd hatred the last couple years. The reactions to all the bounty crap was a direct outgrowth of it, and there's never been more proof than when the NFL changed the overtime rules after countless years. Just because the Saints won that way.

So we will continue to be on our little island, backing a misfit. Trick is to not care what anybody thinks, good or bad. Enjoy being a fan of this team on your own terms, not anybody else's.

I'd rather us ride low key to the SB.. just the way it was last time. But by that time all the downers and naysayers will be on the bandwagon drinkkn my kool aid. damnit!

But the real question is.. WHEN (not if cause it will happen) drew wins his second SB does he get thrown in the conversation with the greats and hall of famers?
