Iceman_NYG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I know. Ive known very few of the real fans. The rest of them are usual bandwagon, closet fans who will now suddenly show-up as if theyve been bleeding gold and black since the day they were born. On a side note - Shockey gets his second ring, catches a TD in the Superbowl, the Chargers must like a real bunch of fucking nitwits, the Manning legacy takes a slight hit, and I dont know if anybody deserved it more than Drew Brees did.

Iceman_NYG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 99% of saints fans couldn't name the saints starting QB before brees. True. Infact the only player they would ever know would be Archie. And if you want to stretch a bit then maybe Ricky Williams or Deuce McAllister.

NightFire Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 99% of saints fans couldn't name the saints starting QB before brees. Fuck I forget his name now. Was it Brooks or something? I remember there is that classic pick where he lined up in the wrong spot. Anyway when any team wins the SB there are lots of sudden fans. Hell after the Giants win I suddenly noticed many more people with Giants hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxRik Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I had to deal with half a million of them at my family's Super Bowl party....I got so sick of "Yeah I want them to win because they never won one.....because of Katrina....etc...." I am so sick of that. Seriously, Katrina was a horrible disaster, no doubt. But in 2007-2008 you didn't hear "the Giants are playing for the thousands lost in 9/11" or anything like that. There may have been mention of 9/11 (I don't recall), but it certainly wasn't played up like the Giants winning the Superbowl would validate NYC post 9/11. Bottom line is, the Saints had a great season, and great seasons lead to playoff berths, and ultimately, Superbowls. Congrats to the Saints. (Who, btw, I believe will be back to the 'Aints next season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the Saints lose half of their roster to free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the Saints lose half of their roster to free agency. It just seems to me that Katrina was more played up than the Saints abilities to play football. Like it would have been sad, but ok, if they lost because, you know, Katrina was such a horrible thing for N.O. and they're just happy their team got to the show. I know St. Breesus' numbers were talked about, and how the Saints were a high powered offense and all, but it's just like the Katrina thing was unnecessarily played up. Now, had they gone to the 'bowl the first, maybe second season after katrina, I could totally understand the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 more like the dolphins for taking culpepper over him. chargers have a very good qb. Maybe, but the guy stil choked when it mattered, especially with all the weapons he had. I feel if it was Brees running that team, they would have been in the SB instead of the Colts. But yeah, point taken. Rivers isnt half bad but everyone was annoiting the Chargers this year as the team with the most momentum etc etc and they flopped ass. Similar to the way everyone was worshipping the Cowboys and about them peaking at the right moment and having the maximum momentum blah blah - and they and their QBs flopped as well.

Probably the the whole Katrina thing was more hyped up because it was Superdome that gave shelter to a lot of people during that time and the Saints could not play a bunch of home games etc etc. But yeah - the players are millionaires living in lavish mansions. Move the fuck on. They had a great season, played excellent football and are deserving winners. Just appreciate the fact that they were the best football team this season instead of mixing it up with the whole Katrina thing and emotions and blah blah.

Treehugger Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That guy who looked like Martin Lawrence...or a black Alfred E. Newman. And the Chargers gave up a mediocre QB with a career-threatening shoulder injury, exactly like they should have. Not one person thought Brees was anything but a place-holder except maybe Sean Payton.

Now if the Aint's had promised half of their SuperBowl salaries to helping some of the still homeless in N.O. post Katrina I might have given a little bit of a shit. But some cocksucker like Shockey (who got rocked on one pass....they tried to make a sammich out of his ass...lol... )...do you actually think he gives a fuck about anyone who went through Katrina...poor, rich, Black, White and/or whatever.

I don't remember the Yankees getting much post-9/11 hype...I wondered why at the time. But the 'Patriots' sure as hell did, to the eternal annoyance of New York fans the world over.
