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.
