Where Yat?


Perhaps the biggest bandwagon team in the history of sports is upon us. The New Orleans Saints are officially dead. The Saints teams that many of us in the south loved and/or loved to hate is now gone....but not gone forever I suppose. Give them a couple of sub-par years and the idiot sports fans of this country will jump ship as fast as they got on. This subject has been bothering me for the past few years now and I can no longer take it. Lets talk about some truths when it comes to this subject. The truth is.....that 98% of this country didn't give a shit about the New Orleans Saints before they started winning and especially before Hurricane Katrina. Even the biggest of all sports fanatics couldn't even name the starting quarterback for the Saints....The Ain'ts as their own fans refered to them were always the joke of not only the National Football League, but all of professional sports. These days ERRRY'BODY LUVS DA SAINTS! Everybody will tell you that they have ALWAYS LOVED THE SAINTS. Nobody....none of the 25 million bandwagonners....will admit they they are indeed bandwagonners. But here is another truth...None of these assholes can name at least THREE former quarterbacks, running backs, or linebackers who have previously play played for the AIN'TS. Some of you may argue that if that is indeed the case...that it is OK and it doesn't matter. WELL, IT IS NOT FUCKING OK! People like that are mindless idiots. Oh, but it gets worse. It seems as though every female in this country is now a Saints fan as well. They are the worst part of this problem...Suddenly these dumb bitches... who wouldn't know what cleats are, or even what the fucking word "pigskin" means, are goddamn experts on the Saints. "It's like...OMG..Kim Kardashian used to date that cute black guy #25"...and "OMG...Drew Brees is like SOOO hot..and he like gives toys and stuff to all those poor little kids whose houses are like still under water and stuff." They, like the other bandwagonners, think that just because they have visited New Orleans, that it automatically qualifies them as being a TRUE-DAT WHO-DAT fan. They honestly believe that the fact that they have been to Pat O'Briens or puked up hurricanes at the Tropical Isle that they are worthy. That one or two weekends in the "Big Easy" while attending a convention or stopping through to board some nasty fucking cruise ship on their honeymoon-of-a-lifetime to Cancun qualifies them. It doesn't..no matter how crazy you are...IT DOES NOT. In my opinion, only people that have at one time lived in the state of Louisiana, native Louisianians/gulf coasters, and fans of Archie Manning are allowed to be Saints fans. The rest of you fucking losers cannot. If you cannot pronounce Tchoupitoulas Street, never puked at The Audubon Tavern, or eaten lunch at Uglesich's...you can't be a fan. Period. Look...I am not an avid/rabid Saints fan..(Im' a Steeler fan)...but, I have always liked the Saints. And I do qualify. I lived in the state and did happen to puke at AT II's...But one thing is for sure these days...I am happy to NOT be the biggest Saint's fan on the planet. I can spell words like 'Go' without phonetically spelling them and putting cute little french twists on them. If it were not for all of you folks on the bandwagon...I could silently cheer for a great team and a great city like I have every year since I was a kid. Thanks people.
