But you won’t boycott from sharing your views on how poorly they play. Boy are we suckers for watching the Saints. Man I’m so glad you’re around to remind us all just how much better you are.
On a semi-related note, I think I'm starting to learn a survival skill in today's world - more and more I'm thinking it's best to just watch the games I want to watch and pay little mind to all the drama and sports talk and conjecture. I am beginning to understand my fault in this.

Early in the season, I spent way too much mental energy on Sean Payton's coaching struggles and a few other issues surrounding the team. Likewise, as a Lakers fan I've paid too much attention to the LaVar Ball drama. By now I know I don't like the guy and that he's going to continue acting like a dip**** ... there's no point in reading about or wondering what the Lakers could/should do about it. The Lakers are big boys, they'll have to figure it out.

My focus going forward to keep my opinions brief and try to enjoy life more. And certainly I don't judge or begrudge any of you still actively supporting the Saints - everyone has their own hot buttons and opinions and ways of seeing things. Take care guys, don't let this thread get too negative.

And I've kept my very limited posts/opinions about the Saints brief. Just a few observations and commentary. But apparently to some, that is bashing and I don't have a right to say anything. I didn't boycott the board.

But otherwise, I'm with you. Being away from watching the NFL has opened of a free space in my mind that was too occupied with things that don't matter. Yesterday would have been very painful in the old days for me. But now, it just is what it is. I'll miss some of the memories I've made watching the Saints, if I never watch them again, but things have gotten too ridiculous.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Please grow up. And, by the way, I don't believe you make the rules on who can comment. Why am I your target and not the OP, as well, if you hate it so much?
