2. It's gotten better.
:)

Their first playoff game ever came under Jim Mora. They dominated the season, and many picked them as the best team that year. They started their first playoff game on fire, the it all fell apart and they lost badly by the end.

So maybe this is the reverse of that game. :)

6. Dammit! Curse you Reggie Bush!!
Couldn't you have waited until I got back from the refrigerator before scoring again? I had to watch it in replay!!

I'll forgive you. :evilgrin:

Sheesh.

16. Not much time to post the score. It changes too quickly.
After last week, I won't count the Cardinals out until they are on the plane back home. :)

26. Sorry about that.
I like Kurt Warner, and I know the Cardinals are due, too, but maybe it's the Saints year. Finally. Geeze, it took 20 years before the even had a winning season.

27. They aren't America's Team.
They are New Orleans's team. :)

Face it, the Cowboys tattooed that phrase on their star, and it ain't leaving. You have to admit, it was clever, considering how mad it makes everyone else in the league. :)

But hey, you got the Eagles! They throw stuff at Santa and gave Vick the courage award, so their pretty bold, too.

(I apologize. Low blow). :blush:

30. Dallas might be America's most loathed team
Ever seen polls outside Dallas? New Orleans is very much liked outside of NO.

31. They're still the team America talks about the most.
We can be having a losing season and we get more air time than most teams who are playing well. Nobody even thinks about most teams when they aren't playing well.

29. Peyton Manning grew up in NOLA and is the son of one of the Saints's favorite QBs.
So probably most Saint fans are pulling for the Colts, until the Super Bowl, anyway.

32. He is also a major repuke.
Even worse than most wealthy white Uptowners.

And being from Bawlmer originally, I'd pull for Tora Bora over the Indian-no-place Dolts. :grr:

33. Who cares, I'm not voting for him. Many spoiled rich atheletes are Republican.
Tom Benson's Republican, I'm sure a sizable portion of the Jets and Colts are Republican. If I'm going to watch football, I'm going to cheer for Republicans whether I like it or not.

They get paid ridiculuous amounts to beat each other senseless without thinking too much--of course they are Republicans. :)

I am a Cowboys fan, but seeing the Saints win the Superbowl would be almost as good.

28. I grew up near New Orleans and moved to Dallas.
And I grew up around Brett Favre when we were kids. So I'm really torn over this one. Then again, I won't be sad no matter who goes, now. :)

This will be the first time I've pulled for a team over the Cowboys in the playoffs, though. If they make it to the Saints, I mean.

39. The first time I saw Brett Favre
He was running staduim steps at Hancock North Central because he had blown a play during practice. He was a freshman in high school and Irvin Farvre was his toughest coach.

43. First time I saw him...
Was outside a trailer behind a butcher shop in Kiln. My friend, his brother and sister, and I were waiting in the car for my friend's mother to buy something, and my friend and his brother started teasing the sister, claiming she was in love with Favre. I of course joined in, and we spent that whole summer chanting "Amy loves Brett Favre, Amy loves Brett Favre!"

Amy denied it, of course. Once she yelled out "I don't even like Brett Favre, he's stuck up. He thinks he's so great just because he plays quarterback. The only reason he's a quarterback is because his daddy is the coach, he's no good at it!" I never knew anything else about him playing football until I accidentally watched his last bowl game at USM.

Why were you at Hancock North Central? Did you live there?

36. Well they certainly did! When I watched the Saints devastate my Eagles, I thought
we would see NOLA in the SuperBowl....I think they got better with the bye week.

Saints, you are my fave team for the post season.
Although I am cheering for Farve Sunday to beat the 'Boys.
Mark, the eagles fan

40. That game was torture for me
Edited on Sun Jan-17-10 12:57 PM by JonLP24
Congrats Saints.

I knew AZ didn't have a chance when Rodgers-Cromartie went down. McFadden and Adams can't cover and when he went down that meant they would have to guard their best receivers and 3rd and 4th options with rookies Toler and Abdullah on the field.

Saints 'O' made it look easy yesterday.

As painful as that game was - I mean you gotta give Drew Brees credit - that dude is a fucking machine.

50. That's what I mean
I knew it would be difficult enough with Rodgers-Cromartie. With him going down there was no chance in my mind.

Drew Brees is unbelievable at home. Over 9 YPA at the Superdome in the regular season, that stat is incredible.
