Re: Survey: Are you going to watch the Saints this season?
I think there were five absolutely not watching the NFL. Maybe six. Probably around one in ten respondents. I doubt it would be a higher percentage nationally given other areas are far more liberal in nature to begin with. Any loss of boycotting viewers should easily be offset by the added influx of people unable to attend games in person and also based upon the fact that it will be the main live sporting events weekly in the world. I would be shacked if we didn't see record numbers week in and week out this season in broadcast viewership.

ENDLESS CRAP AND GRAPHICS to block your view of the actual game.... I'm dying of GRAPHICS. Do you know what the lettering was like in the 70s? CLEAR! You could see the game through the score. ![]()
You spend most of the day waiting for replay refs to make a decision. The uniforms are stupid. They keep moving to different cities. PSL's, endless talk about "safety," and endless commercials, and now "social justice" b*llsh*t. Its not Football anymore.

Every player is a character. The announcers are more interesting, the fans have SIGNS everywhere. They probably got in for $15. The uniforms are 100 times cooler. The cheerleaders are nearly naked, the commercials are golden. The Rules are Normal. THERE IS 80% LESS CRAP ON THE SCREEN--- you can actually see grass and helmets and the game. I cant come back to this decade, after watching what we once had. You've furthered my point.

Cmon, Guido, finish what you started, if nothing else, to show your honesty to your detractors... You can even list the people who say they ARE watching football, if it makes your argument look better, but... Give us the roll call vote and results. I want to see. Put me down for No. |

You take care and be safe, Mike. |

I just personally dont feel the Love I once had for it anymore. I am no longer able to care, and I've lost interest. Try to get along with people here, ok? lol. I'll always have a place in my heart for Ark-La-Tex Saints fans. I remember that sh**ty picture, and turning my antenna, with vise grips, from my house on Toledo Bend, just happy, if I could actually see the ball. Only to find out the CBS affiliate was showing the Cowboys. I wont forget. |

Years before my football watching had dwindled down to Saints only. Football has been garbage for quite awhile but you pull for the home team no matter the contest, tiddlywinks or nuclear war. Last year, I found free internet streams and put the game in a small window while I did work or played games on the computer. I watched just enough to be able to discuss the game with my elderly Mom. She really doesn't want to lose the Saints. She doesn't have whole lot left of friends and family from the "old days" and the Saints are a link back to decades of good times and my Dad. I haven't spoken to my Mom about football in months. She doesn't seem to be too interested after Drew Brees' fumbled his integrity. If she still has the desire to hang on I may, again, find an internet stream. If all the stupidity has finally killed off her fandom, I, personally, will be glad. Politics has engulfed everything in this country and I will be happy to rid myself of the NFL's part in it. |

We actually visited several places, but chose Woodrows. Talk about "Where everybody knows your name." I dont remember if we started out upstairs, but I could probably name all of us. I think they gave us the upstairs, when we started getting big. ![]()
I remember now, why I dont remember the first game there. Because it was the Atlanta Game, the Gleason Block, and I was at the Dome. Nobody, us included, expected the Saints to do anything, but, of course, the season was magic, and by the NFCCG with the Bears, we were breaking fire code upstairs, and there was nowhere to park. Hell of a thing we had. I didnt know you were driving to NOLA for home games, also. I thought I was the only crazy one doing the I-10 streak every other week. Good times. |

I saw you a few years ago at The Boot in the Heights for a game. You know me by sight but not by username. |
