The Saints...Louisiana's Team?

[bluecrew]

If you would have read my previous post I mentioned that Benson had said "Louisiana" and blamed the national media to begin with. I have no complaints with the orginization of the New Orleans Saints. Also, screw Saban and Miles, they don't represent the state like the Saints do. They represent the previously mentioned "Waterboy" persona.

well then i owe you some green.

I just hated it that the only person who mentioned the rest of the state was that jackass Benson who wanted to leave the state.

How many times have you heard the players say the region?..last i checked we fit that category.

I've heard that a bunch the last 2 days. Especially from Brees and Payton in different interviews.

These two do mention it. I'm talking about the heads at ESPN and other media outlets. I was in N.O. shortly after the waters receded... I know how it looked. The damage to my house wasn't even close to that. The damage to my house was worse for Gustav. It just pains me to think about the people along the coast of Mississippi and Alabama, in Lake Charles and Grand Isle, that don't get mentioned for the amount they suffered. We as a state took an enormous hit, not just the city of New Orleans, and we all persevered, not just them.

Maybe if that terrible Dem Governor Blanco was still in Red Stick the national liberal media might be pushing the thank the State thing.

ask anyone who claims to be a fan if they can name any player on the team other than Bush, Shockey or Brees. Ask if they can remember any of the teams from before Katrina.

I've had many favorite Saints players. Guido Merkens was a gamer.

Did it really take 43 years for this question to be asked?

Man a Guido reference -

I had forgot about Guido...

I also liked Hobie Brenner also -

Elois Grooms still holds a special place in Saint's fandom for me - got to met him at some CF functions in Minden in the early 90's and played a few rounds of golf with him - his stories of those late 70's and ealry 80's Saints teams were classic...

He was really a neat guy -

These last few days have been unreal - just thinking about all the horrible plays and games that haunted Saints fans for so so long and they have just melted away with that one win -

The two Big Ben losses to Atlanta

The loss to the Snake and the Raiders on MNF

The blowing the big lead 2nd half to the 49ers when a rookie coach put in a rookie by the name of Montana at Candlestick -

Being the first team to lose to the BUCS and the JAGS

Letting Ellard go apeshit crazy against us on MNF

All the close loses to the 49ers in the Montana years

The Snake single handidly handing the game to the Cowboys on a Sunday nite

Watching the dreaded Flacons make the Super Bowl

Watching the BUCS win the Super Bowl

Watching the Panthers go to the Super Bowl

I could go on and on - but I can think about them now and appreciate the fact that I stuck through all those heartbreaks and was rewarded Sunday -

It really really is special

The Saints fans wanted him. Haslett was too busy chasing Saintsations.
