Saints Are Not America's Team

[Pats Fan]

I don't see any Boys jerseys in New England when I go to visit.

I don't see any Boys jerseys in Sarasota. But lots of Patriot jerseys.

In the middle of the country maybe you see them. That's OK, but if you asked someone in Nebraska, who are you rooting for this week, I don't think the Boys would come to mind.

And oh, why did I become a fan of a 1-15 team. You have no idea what fun we used to have. Real fun. Now, you have to be screened before you go in, you have to be a good boy or girl, behave yourself. In the old days, you could just be a crazy football fan and have FUN.

That's why.

I could care less if the Pats are 1-15, they are my team.

Have the Boys fared much better lately and you are still a fan. So, your question really is moot. Sorry.

I stand by my statement.

I see your posted words and all I can read is "blah, blah-blah... blah-blah-blah-blah"

Ok you are leaving right... good bye....

You are the weakest link in this thread....

If you're not kidding, you oughta be. Either you live life with blinders on or you are simply in denial. Check the TV ratings. Check the Cowboys opponent's crowds on game day. Dallas jerseys EVERYWHERE. This is not a coincidence. You don't have to admit it. You don't even have to realize it. But it is what it is. The Dallas Cowboys have the largest following of any NFL team hands down. Period. Maybe you don't like that fact, but to deny it is to come across as a real jerk.

And as far as not seeing a lot of Cowboys fans wherever you go, well, either you're lying or you need to get out more.

who cares?

No action on my bet. Shame.

I know of several posters on here from the New England area. Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they don't exist. Go to Mexico and see what team is loved. Go to England. Go to Germany.

You're wrong. Either you can admit that and move on, or you can't I guess. Admission nor denial will change the truth. That being that you didn't know when the nickname was applied, that there were losing seasons in between, and losing has never stolen the nickname away.

All in all, you batted .000, but you did it articulately.

So.... is there some sort of prize we can give him for that?

How about a Gaylord M. Focker 9th place finish trophy

Maybe America's "bandwagon team", LOL. What is this all about, anyway? Millionaires surviving a hurricane? Give me a break. The Saints are still the Saints, this short-lived fascination with them will soon be over. At least they beat the Eagles. When I hear Dan Patrick pushing this over and over, I turn off the radio.

Philo man, if the Saints beat the Bares, can you imagine the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl?

1. Endless loops of people waiting atop houses, waiting to be saved
2. Tiresome footage of Benson dancing with that girly umbrella
3. Endless yak-yak of how the U.S. govt. didn't save new orleans and how the Saints -- WHO COULD NOT WAIT TO GET OUT OF THAT DYSFUNCTIONAL CITY -- "SAVED NEW ORLEANS"
4. Innumerable sound bites from Mayor Nagging attesting how HE SAVED NEW ORLEANS, albeit with billions of our money.
5. Endless footage of all those supposed music stars who live in New Orleans and love it but who fled and relocated the first time a hurricane was said to be moving toward N.O.
6. A rah-rah montage of what a great music city it is (Dixieland jazz gets tiresome after the first 5 minutes) and what a great cultural center N.O. is (It's a dump filled with itinerant musicians, street walkers and pimps and hustlers.)
7. Mindless sound bites from the conspiracy theory faction about how racists blew up the levees to kill blacks.
8. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton sound bites about how those two were the only ones who flew in to assist the victims (being no fools, they didn't)
9. Heart-rending photos of flooding and "We Will Rebuild" signs on dilapidated homes. (Yes, they will rebuild. Can you just feel your wallets getting leaner?)
10. Scenes of the Super Dome being wracked by the hurricane winds.

Oh, the humanity. Oh, the indigniation from New Orleanans. Oh, the tear-jerking moments we will have to look forward to if the Saints go to the Super Bowl.

Someone pass out the towels. It will be a crying fest, then "A great story of a city's perserverance and grit."

And, also, pass out the vomit bags, men!
:laugh2:

I hate to say it, but we don't get to keep the title "America's Team" just because it was coined and used in Dallas. Your fan base has to be huge and cross all geographical boundaries the way it used to do.

We've been losers for 10 years...that far exceeds any poor play even as an expansion team in the 60's. If this team doesn't stop its losing ways and get back, not just to the playoffs but to being a perennial playoff team again, someone else will indeed become America's Team.

It's almost a joke to call yourself America's Team when you haven't won a single playoff game in 10 years. I don't think it's our owner...I truly think we have had a horrible string of coaches that players just don't excell under and won't play their guts out for.

Even if Parcells stays another year or two and we actually win a playoff game or two, it's really not going to mean much because he's definitely a short timer at this point...the next coach we hire, whether it's this year, next year, or the following year, had better be the real deal. Otherwise, this team will endure another span of bad times.

I hope the next coach is a football genius with enough confidence to put together a great staff and let them do their jobs, but at the very least, we must hire someone with experience, someone who's solid in the NFL, even if not outstanding. This team must move forward, hopefully like a rocket, but at least like a fast tortoise ... I for one do not want to gamble on taking a step backwards again.
