There are a lot of Saints fans around who goes nuts if somebody says the slightest negative thing about the Saints, true or not.

Re: Saints Fans and Refs/Commentators.

The Saints were bad for many years and when a team is that bad things are said, opinions are cast; and we haven't been this good long enough to start getting the benefit of the doubt.

As far as for refs..... They do not do their job the way it is expected to be done... For the most part it's because it's impossible to be perfect calling a game that is that fast with so much going on, another reason being most fans do not know all the rules or changes from year to year. Instant replay also gives the fans an unfair advantage.

Meh, everyone hates the refs/commentators ... Saints fans are just more passionate about expressing their feelings, eh? Nothing wrong with 'dat, .

No, not all of them but I do hate Buck and achybut, Billick, ballsdinger and yoda looking dungy. Only ref I hate seeing on the field is Terry McCaully because it seems since he is from Louisiana he has to go out of his way to call a tight game against the Saints to show that he isn't a homer. Such as the 2 false start penalties against Drew this year that were total BS.

Everybody "hates" the zebras. It's the American way.

Re: Saints Fans and Refs/Commentators.

I dont normally chat with Devils, DemonicSaint, but I'll chime in.

I think the older you get, the more you understand commentators dont matter.
I've seen enough football games to know everything they could possibly tell me.
I actually can watch football with the sound completely down. I'd give money
to be able to synch up with WWL, but Im in SE Texas.

Refs, no, I dont hate any of them. The calls pretty much even out.
I would be perfectly happy without replay.

Re: Saints Fans and Refs/Commentators.

anyone who actually listens to a talking head isn't what i would consider informed, or smart.


refs? they do a pretty darn good job, considering.

bad calls? of course bad call occur.
the trick is not to whine about them.

that would make you similar to an atlanta fan, or something equally distasteful.

Re: Saints Fans and Refs/Commentators.

Only non-trolling posters on this forum have any right to criticize the Saints. Hence the hatred.
