The Mind of a Saints Fan
Recently, I journeyed to Mid Town Los Angeles watch NFL games with a friend of mine who happens to be an Eagles fan. It was this past Saturday; he was just a tad disappointed in the game’s outcome. As the Cowboys continued to ram their Texas sized genitals into the bowls of Eagle nation, the conversation turned from that game, to the impending Saints game the next week. At that point, we still didn’t know who we played, and my friend made a remark that basically went something like “Shit man, another season with no Super Bowl ring for Donovan. I guess that’s the good thing about being a Saints Fan, no expectation, you guys are as happy going 9-7 as you are going 13-3.”
…….
I am a very level headed guy. It’s actually something I pride myself on. If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll say that despite my large stature (6’4 230 pounds) I’m a very patient, gentlemanly type of fellow. However at this statement, at this completely fucking silly and asinine assessment of what it means to follow the Saints, I lost it. My mind could not process the level of assfuckery that it would take to actually believe this. To me, his remark was basically saying that a starving person with a diet of shit, should just be happy to find a little corn in it from time to time. To all of you who think this about us Saints fans, I would like to extend to you a very enthusiastic, hardy, loving, calculated, pure, genuine, thoughtful, hopeful, exuberant, life affirming, sensual and meaningful FUCK YOU. That’s for you. That’s how we feel.
After a while of experiencing pure Negro Anger in the midst of shocked and petrified Caucasians, I was able to dial it back a little and explain a couple things to them regarding Saints Fandom. As I am all about connecting, I started off with something all Whites love and understand, the 1999 feature film masterpiece Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt. The best scene in the movie to me, the tone setter, is where Lou the tavern owner tries to kick the Fight Club out of the basement, and Tyler Durden responds in a way so grotesque that the bar owner basically submits to the will of his pain and strife. Here’s the clip (nothing after 1:46 applies here, but I suggest you watch it anyway, Fight Club is awesome).
Look at that shit. Lou is the rest of the NFL. Tyler Durden is us Saints fans. You guys don’t know where we’ve been, you have no idea what we’ve been through. Since I realize this, I also realize that it’s unfair to get mad at the masses that don’t know shit. Therefore I’m going to help you guys out. I’m going to tell the rest of the world what Saints fans think.
1. We think we need to win every game 100-0.
This is what made this year’s team so special. For most of the year, we were dominant. That’s totally new to us. In years past, even when we were good, we always seemed one possession away from disaster and despair. Remember this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTGco82JKHo ? Okay, so we pull of what would surely have been the greatest play of maybe this decade in a meaningful game, and Carney shanks the fucking extra point. That’s pretty fucking impossible. It doesn’t happen. Still, I remember my father not even batting an eye. “If it’s going to happen to someone son, it’s going to be us. That’s who we are.” Because of things like this, we don’t want any close ones. We no longer have the will.
2. We need to continue our love/hate relationship with Reggie Bush.
Another thing I hear from non-tortured fans is “Why do you guys hate on Reggie so much, he’s good, just not great, give him a break, what do you guys expect out of him?” Hmmmm, that’s tough to answer. I’ll try though. We expect 4,000 rushing yards per season, 250 receptions and we want him to play a little safety. How’s that for you? See, the problem with reggie is not reggie. It’s REGGIE. It’s the capital letter player we think he should be. Let me give you an analogy, one the fellas will surely get. Let’s say you meet a girl with gorgeous eyes, a perfect set of moist lips, and a six inch tongue. You end up getting her out of pure good fortune, and you’re certain that based on her physical attributes, you’re in store for a lifetime of blowjob bliss. She’s a can’t-miss dick sucker, you’re sure of it. She starts off showing promise and has her moments, but there’s just something missing. You’re forced to bring in other chicks to help her carry the load. Add to this the fact that one of your boys went to college with her and told you that she used to be a fucking expert. Like an award winning, once in a generation, fellatio prodigy. It’s as if she came to you and forgot about the fact that a Blowjob is all about enthusiasm, passion and determination. She might never have them. She just ain’t no pro bowler. And you can’t ever forgive her for fooling you.
3. We don’t want to waste Drew Brees.
We love you Drew. I love you. It’s almost unhealthy. We’ve never, ever, ever, ever had anything like you before. You are actually good. Like, you’re GOOD. You’re not a nice guy that puts up nice numbers every three games, you’re a fucking video game. You make up chants. When they show you doing those chants, I do them too. That’s how invested I am. You’re also not coming around again. It won’t happen. Drew, please be here forever. Please never get older. Heath Shuler. Danny Wuerffel. Jeff Blake was good for three seconds, Aaron Brooks thought that an interception was the funniest fucking thing in the world. Bobby Hebert’s son can’t block. Drew you are already the greatest Quarterback in Saints History. Archie’s sons went to SEC rivals so I don’t give a fuck about him. Drew, we feel the need to win, we have a want to win.
4. We know you other fans think the shit is funny.
Don’t act like you don’t laugh at us. We know you do. You think the paper bag shit is funny. You think the “Aints” is funny. You don’t take us or our state seriously. I’m from Baton Rouge, you’ve never been there. The Saints play in New Orleans, a city full of liquor and tit flashing to you. When the 49ers and the Redskins have losing seasons, you wish they would get it together. When we play badly, you accept it as status quo. You think we’re the Clippers. You think we’re a fucking joke. You are the fucking joke. We’re tired of this shit. We have a want. A want to fucking rub it in your faces. We’ve been loyal to this team. We may have flirted with other teams, just to feel something, but we are Saints fans. WE NEED EACH OTHER. We know you like to see us fail. We’re fed the fuck up with you’re bullshit.
5. We want to play in, win, and have sex in the Super Bowl.
We are one of the only teams left to never to go. If we go, you have no idea how many illegitimate children of various races will be born. We will give to the world Creoles in the name of the Saints. I can go ahead and promise three or maybe four. After we win, we will birth a new generation of Who Dat Nation to wipe away the sins of our former fans. No more paper bags and no condoms. Raw dicking the NFL and any woman who will say yes. Making babies and memories. Super Bowl rings followed by teething rings. Banners and bottles. We need to get there. We need to win the NFC championship game in the Dome, then go to Miami, play the game, win the game, then walk around South Beach rubbing your face in our South Louisiana foolishness. Eat this gumbo ho. Have some Zapps, bitch. The Saints are coming.
Who Dat.
Fucking awesome…this is too funny
Hah!! That’s what you get for watching the game with Eagles fans…blech.
I could not have said this better myself. It symbolizes EVERYTHING that loyal Saints fans have thought for years. I leave this memory to the author of this mantra.
I remember (I am now 41 years of age) being in grammar school at St.Catherine of Siena in Metairie, right off of Bonnabel. I had to be in the 3rd or 4th grade. I remember this because it was the first year where students actually went from class to class rather than sitting in one classroom all day for all subjects. The bell had rung and I was leaving my early morning class to go to my other class accross the hall. I, of course, was wearing my little Saints winter jacket, which I rarely took off in those days. While walking, the principal (Sister Immelda) grabed me and shook me saying, “You know you are not supposed to wear jackets in the building unless you are going to recess or home for the day”. Mind you, to a 3/4th grader, this woman appeard scarier than any monster who was living in their closet. To be honest, she scared me so badly it took every muscle I had not to pee in my pants! Old, mean and ugly is an understatment for this, my childhood nemesis. When I was summoned to her office for many of my transgressions, she would welcome me into her office while she picked her yellow teeth with bulletin board stick pins! You get the idea!
She then went on to tell me that I must go back to my homeroom and take it off immediately. I turned around, made the motion to go back to my home room to oblige her request. Soon as she walked down the hall, I ignored her request and continued on to my second class where I left the jacket on all through my second class and every class thereafter till the end of the day!
Fuck her and all the other haters. I am lucky enough to have season tickets and will be in that number for the Cards game. I’m praying to be there the following week as well. THE WHO DAT NATION RULES and ALWAYS WILL!
GEAUX SAINTS!
Shaun Adams
you are awesome! i want to party with you! Write a Fucking Book! WHO DAT!?
Everyone at ESPN needs to read this. Even after the phenomenal season we just had, we still get no respect. Say what you want to ESPN, the bastard sons are going all the way. WE BELIEVE!!
OUT-FUCKING-STANDING.
WHO DAT!!!
God, I love you…I was there since day one. My girlfriend doesn’t understand why when we are up by 3 scores at the 2 min. warning I am STILL a nervous wreck. I’ve pulled a hamstring just WATCHING a game.
I had to leave New Orleans after Katrina, I had been to every home game except 3 (one because mom would let me go to the last game in ’68 with a fever and the other two because of a crazy ex…with a capital X!) Many of the N’awlins ex-pats I watch the games with here in Houston (we call ourselves the Hour-Dats!) go back to New Orleans for the games…I can’t. I can’t bring myself to go back for a game and not stay. Here I am in Houston 1,609 days since Katrina and still sometimes on my drive home from work I ask myself, “What the hell am I doing here?”
On my right wrist right now I am wearing a black band with gold writing…like the “LiveStrong” bands. On one side it says, “FEBRUARY 7, 2010″ and on the other simply “FAITH” flanked my two fleur de lis.
I am excited and can’t wait Saturday to come…I am dreading Saturday and can’t wait for it to come. That is my life being a Saints’ fan. I’ve never worn a bag, I’ve never boo’ed Cuozzo, Kilmer, Archie, Snake, Todd, Wilson, Bobby, Walsh, Bobby, Heath,anyone named Billy Joe, Jeff, Aaron, and of course, Breesus. I always think that disaster is just around the corner and pray that it isn’t…I am always positive that this is the year…I am…spent…tired…and positively sure that…
The Saints ARE Marchin’ in…
I hope.
WHO DAT!
Great story, I loffed and loffed!
Dude, you hit the nail on the fucking head. I agree with everything in that article, this is forever a masterpiece that will be highly regarded by Saints fans, especially those actually from Louisiana. I shall print this out on a scroll to pass down to the later generations of Saints fans.
Damn, that was awesome! I laughed out loud the entire time I was reading it!

I like the Saints and have been to a couple of games when I went to college in Mobile, AL. I cheer for the Saints, but I am not going to say that all the bad things that happen to the Saints was a curse of some sort. Carney missed the FG b/c he has never been a good kicker. I think that its been some of the decisions made by the coaches that ended up hurting the team. I like what you said though. Geaux Saints!
Probably the greatest Saints related article I’ve ever read. I needed that laugh man, keep up the good work.
WHODAT!?
Dude, I need to buy you a beer.
I loved this column. Anybody know the email addresses for the pre-game jackasses that bag on us every f’n weekend?
A-fucking-mazing.
Thanks.
<3
thank you. this is one of the best things i’ve ever read in my life. *bows*
[...] if you have ever wondered 'what the hell is up with those saints fans', this article is for you. HERE [...]
Awesome…pure awesome. And go watch the games at the OC Bar & Grill. Lotsa WhoDats and a huge screen TV. I was out there earlier this year for the Giants game and it was fantastic!
Great blog and so true. I tell people about the greatest play in NFL history all the time…. most don’t even believe the story.
Damn fine post there, Sickle Master. You planning on blogging on the Saints regularly?
This is absolutely brilliant. I think you may have figured me out completely.
WHO DAT. See you in Miami.
First off, thanks to all of you for the Kudos, it’s REALLY appreciated. And Wang yes, I am planning on writing more on Our Saints. One of my favorite subjects.
Social comments and analytics for this post…
This post was mentioned on Twitter by NOLA_Uptown: The mind of a Saints Fan – http://sicklemaster.com/2010/01/13/the-mind-of-a-saints-fan/...
My friend, that has got to be the greatest article I’ve ever read about us Saints fans. Hats off to you, sir!
“1. We think we need to win every game 100-0″. I experienced that just this year. I’ve been a longtime saints fan while my other friends jumped on the bandwagon during 2006. We have season tickets, and this year in our first game vs. Atlanta, we were up big time but still had a few minutes on the clock. My friends were like, “Ready to go?” I said, “No way, this game is far from over. Y’all obviously don’t know the saints.” Sure enough, Atlanta starts to rally after a couple turnovers haha. But this isn’t the old saints. WHO DAT
epic.
Dude, I feel your pain and I am with you. I’ll be in that number on Saturday, in Da Dome, yelling for all those not there for our Saints. Drew Brees & his chants, HUA!
PS Elle, I watched the 2009 Saints V Eagles at a sports bar in Williamsburg, VA with my Uncle (a die-hard Redskins fan but a Saints fan that day). The place was packed with Eagles fans, but we had the last laugh…that’s what the Super Bowl win will feel like only mo betta…
Love the blog! Very well written…it’s the love and passion that we all have as a Saints fan (win or lose). The love for the game and the passion we have for our city. It’s our time and anyone who tries to take our time away from us, deserves a Tyler Durdan ass whoppin.
My man you are brilliant. Love the article and will be followoing your site from now on. Geaux Saints!!
PREACH FELLOW WHODAT… PREACH!!!
All very true. The Saints have always, and will always suck. Sorry.
GO COWBOYS!
Right on man! This was wonderful!! And Doug, your an asshole!
GEAUX SAINTS!! Who Dat?!?!
WHO DAT?! Excellent article.
To Doug:
I am struggling not to hate you and your whole fucking family right now. I hate the Cowboys. I hate the owner and the stadium. I hate the uniforms. I’m feeling sick right now just typing this. They represent everything that is wrong with our nation. America’s Team? FUCK YOU. I pray to God that we see you in the NFC Championship and make your whole state cry.
This article was sent to me because they thought the person writing it was me. As I was reading the article I say you know what this is me. It’s me 100%. I didn’t even need to go to the Youtube site to know exactly what game you were referencing about losing the close ones (Saints vs Jags)…And just like you father I too sat there and said this only happens to us.
Just a little about me. I’m a NY’er. Moved to NY when I was 12. And my first real moment of watching football came when my father told me I was going to be a Giants fan. I said no I’m not. I don’t like the Giants. He said well who’s your team. Granted this was 1987. And who was on TV pounding the crap out of the Giants…Yup the Saints. So I said New Orleans is my team. And my father said something I will never forget. “Since this is your team you won’t be one of these people that jump from team to team this is your team win or lose. For years I’ve said why did I pick this team. Well here’s why. Anyone can jump on the bandwagon of a winning franchise…Dallas, Patriots, Giants. But to ride with a team seaon after season, year after year, disappointed year in and year out shows personal strength. Yes I shed a tear the first time our boys won a playoff game I thought to myself is this the time. Is this when we become a contender…Well we saw what happened to that…Then 2006 I jus knew we were headed to the SuperBowl. But we had to ply in snowy Chicago…But 2009…The schedule aligned perfectly. We had 11 Dome games this year. 2 cold weather games…Tampa (40 degrees) and the Panther game. The Superbowl runs through New Orleans Mike Torico said on Monday night Football. And DAMN IT I BELIVE!!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!
i want to thank you for this. at 41 i have pitched fits at the horible last minute loses and near wins every freaking season and i have taken crap from all others for wearin my saints cap. but this year i wear it proud and let he band wagoners jump on and off cause they will never know the joy we will feel on 2/7/10 when we kick whoever the afc puts with us in maimi’s ass.
Ahhh, then.
You’re CLEARLY not a Saints fan.
Any Saints fan (world-wide) has the same attitude – We support THE SAINTS as a team. Winning a pennant isn’t everything.
Don’t get me wrong. We enjoy winning, and we would LOVE for our team to win, but we won’t slash our wrists when they don’t.
Nor do we desert our team, just because they’re not winners.
We’re like “real friends”.
We’re “real fans” and are there for them in good and bad times.
It’s an attribute of ‘SAINTS’ teams world-wide.
St Kilda (Saints in Australian Football) haven’t won the grand final since 1966 (their only premiership)
St George – Illawarra (Saints in Australian Rugby League) haven’t won the grand final since they were formed in 1999, even though the original ‘Saint George’ (one of the clubs in the joint-team) won 11 straight 1956-66, and their last in 1979
Southampton (Saints in UK Soccer) are now languishing in the mid-table in the second division, despite being (at one time) the longest-serving team in their Premier Division. They won an FA Cup back in the 70s, but other than that, it’s been pretty lean.
You see.
The joy in being a Saints fan is the hope. We don’t languish in the past glories. We can’t.
Hallelujah!!!!!!!
I was at the 1993 playoff game against the Eagles when they scored 26 in the 4th quarter after we led by 10 at half time. I’ve been saying FUCK THE EAGLES ever since.
Absolutely great job.You are a true New Orleanian.This is who we are.Thanks.And to Doug (above).YOU ARE A FUCKING ASSHOLE.I HOPE THAT WE HAVE HOMOS ASS TO KICK AROUND THE FIELD IN TWO WEEKS AND YOURS TO KICK AROUND THE SUPERDOME.

Dont fuck with Kurt aka Im awesome and Going to be a hall of fame QB aka Sweet graphic tee aka God boy aka Bro king aka Going to throw for 400 againt the aints….Im betting 500 dollars on the cards and Im going on the money line, fuck that 7 point spread…..The second coming of the greatest show on turf shall return
SON OF A BITCH! I agree with the person who said he is printing this out onto a scroll. Of course, every person in Louisiana, including the hippies, affliction shirts, ravers and even lsu fans are saying we’re bad ass. We’re not bad ass, WE’RE AC/DC IN THE DOME WITH BACCHUS CIRCLING US, TRUMPETS BLARING TO NEW ORLEANS TITS AND ASS, SLAMMING ONE FOAM AFTER ANOTHER BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS FOOTBALL. I absolutely love the bandwagoners, it’s the actual insight into one’s love for Louisiana.
I was in the Dome when Jerry Rice dropped the ball before the goal line and they still gave the 49ers 6. Rice knew he dropped it and went and punched the Saints Helmet on the back wall of the endzone.
In that # when we came back from 22 points down in the 4th quarter in ’02 to WIN it. I B LINED IT TO PAT O PIANO BAR JUMPED ON A STOOL AND MADE THE CROWD GO NUTS AFTER HOLLERIN’ “HOW BOUT THEM 6-1 SAINTS!!!!!”
THEN, There was the Re-Opening of the Dome. PERIOD
2010 – SHOULD WE BLOW UP THE CARDINALS, THE SUPERDOME, THE MOST ROCKING FUCKING STADIUM IN THE NFL WILL HOST ONE OF GREATEST SHOWDOWNS IN THE HISTORY OF NEW ORLEANS-
THE NIGHT WE KNOW WE’RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL.
I JUST FINISHED A HALF BOTTLE OF BEAM WRITING THIS. I can’t even sleep.
ROCK N ROLL NEW ORLEANS.
Bro, I wonder if you bet on the Cards in their two losses to San Fran? No? How about the Panthers? Man, I have to give it to you. 500 bones is a lot to lose for a guy of your stature. Help me, how burgers will you have to flip to make up that loss? I figure hmm, a paycheck or two. Go sell crazy somewhere else douche bag, we’re all full here.
GEAUX SAINTS!
Right on, right on, right on! Every word is what I’ve been feeling this entire season. Let’s stick it to ‘em Saints! ALL THE WAY TO THE BIG SHOW!!!!!! WHO THE FUCKING DAT!!! GEAUX SAINTS!
I love it so much and understand completely. I am crying.
Two things – 1. Great article. I’ve been a Saints fan since John Gilliam scored the first touchdown. You did a great job on hitting the highlights of what it’s like to be a Saints fan. 2. To Doug – I can’t wait to see Jerry Jones cry like a little bitch when the Cowboys miss the Super Bowl AGAIN!!! The Cowboys won 3 in the 90′s. If it weren’t for Jerry, they would have won 8. Move over asshole. It’s OUR turn.
Article is all over facebook now! Saints fans reading that shit and loving it! So damn True!
I think that was about the best article I have ever read expressing the passion that we have for our SAINTS. That EAGLES fan, what a crap bag!!!!! Guys it doesn’t matter what we do here in the central southern states. No one on the left coast nor the east coast wants to give respect to us. Just like they can’t except that the SEC is the best college football conference ever PETEY CAROL , Wittle LANE KIFFIN.
Why the nerve of some of these people. 87 thru 93 I think the Saints had the best defense during that period.
And Band Wagon DOUG no one here wants to here your negitive comments. Why don’t you find something more constructive to do with your time.
Win or Loose we love the SAINTS!!! We will win 37 to 24 Saturday
Ya’ll Makin me feel like Church up in here ****
I love this guy almost as much as we all love Drew Brees!!
Great! Geaux Saints!
Brah….ya gave me da Deuce Bumps! DEEEEUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCEEE!
I don’t want to hear about Deuces’ knees from anybody. I want the world to know about Deuce’s heart, and exactly what that means to every Saints fan like me.
When Deuce’s name is announced in the Super Dome tomorrow afternoon,the Who Dat Nation is going to blow the windows out of the frames.
WHO DAT!?
Yours in Science,
Jango Barks
I was at the very first Saints game in Tulane stadium. I was 12 years old. I am now 54 years old. I know the pain. I have lived the pain.
I got tired of the pain, but I am back every season like a trained slave.
Set us free Saints. Come on, man.
This blog is amazing. You speak for all of us loyal ‘Who Dats’ around the country. I was born in Thibodaux, moved to Mandeville, Covington, Monroe, and eventually Hammond for college. So yeah, I represent the Louisiana.
I have been a Saints fan since I was just a tiny heartbeat inside of my mother and I remember the days when we would get kicked around. I remember almost expecting it with every Sunday in the fall and winter that passed. When we made playoff runs and wild card wins under Mora and Haslett, I didn’t expect much because I knew we always found a way to blow it. That Jaguars game link was a perfect picture of the constant plight of Saints fans.
Then something magical happened in 2006 after the unimaginable tragedy of Hurricane Katrina…we came together and started to truly believe. In the depths of our sadness, a team managed to give us hope…I know that decades from now we will never forget that.
Speaking about how we are different, I have experienced it first-hand with living here in Wisconsin. Packer fans, for a lack of better words, suck. If it isn’t the Packers playing, they don’t give a shit. If a team fairly beats them, they refuse to give props. I think, outside of Philadelphia, they are perhaps the worst fans ever. Yes, they have a great stadium with Lambeau Field and much history, but don’t DARE cheer for an opponent! Unlike us Saints fans, they take it as a personal insult and will give you a a**-whooping. In my experience, if you cheer for an opponent of the Saints, when we beat y’all, we’ll just laugh you out of the bar. If we loose, we’ll give your team props and be frustrated at the mistakes of us, not kick your a**.
We are a different breed and I am damned proud of it!! WHO DAT?!?!
Oh, this is a different Doug from the person above me in posts, not like y’all couldn’t tell haha…WHO DAT?!
Yeah! It’s about time someone said what we’ve all been thinking! WHO DAT!!
This is the greatest thing I have ever read. WHO DAT!!!!!
Fucking awesome! Who Dat!
Please do it. For my dad, for my grandpa, for everyone who still has the faith. I believe. Always have.
yeh you fuckin right!
Do I hear a Pulitzer Prize on the way?
Good article, that hits deep.
GEAUX SAINTS
OUT FUCKING STANDING!!!! THIS GUY IS A FUCKING POET! WHO DAT!?!
You just said what all of us born and raised as Saints fans have wanted to say for our whole lives! A-fucking-mazing!! WHO DAT!!! If we have a Black and Gold Superbowl, they’ll have to call in the National Guard, ’cause NOLA is gonna’ go ape shit! But if I know my home town, we’ll have the Guard shouting “WHO DAT” too!! Keep up the posts, you have a gift!!
(And to Shaun Adams- I went to St. Catherine too, and know all about Sr. Immelda. Good for you, fuck that scary bitch, glad you kept your jacket on!)
Stacey,you had the displeasure of knowing her too huh? Hear tell a couple of years ago she retired. The had a story about it in the Times Pic. Said she was like 68 years old! Hell, she was about 70 when I was there in the early 80s! 68 her ass!
HEY Bro Warner where you at bitch! Greatest show on turf? Yeah, 17 out of 26 with ZERO tds! McRay lit his ass up like the old f’er his is! Come eat your crow (or should I say Cardinal) or can you just dish it out and not take it!
AWESOME GAME WHO DAT BABY!
GEAUX SAINTS!
Oh if you question our desire to go to the big game, this should help. Should be of particular interested to douche bag BroWarner!
http://i49.tinypic.com/351d2ck.jpg
Shaun, That Gif just made my morning.I have to now write an apology to Reggie. He looked like Gayle Jim Brown Sanders Sayers last night.
Don’t feel badly about Reggie. I think all of us have been “teased” by his talent only to see him have a lot of injuries etc. I told my buddies to watch out for Reggie in the playoffs. He is 100% right now and putting it altogether. That punt return was awesome!
GEAUX SAINTS!
You should be the next Mayor of New Orleans!
Who Dat!
Funniest damn blog I have read in a long time. nails it perfectly.
helll yeahhh!!!! WHO DAT BABY!??!??!!? this is the way we live, eat, breathe, sleep, SAINTS!!!!! I BELIEVE!!!!!!
Hey Doug. Just as I’ve told many of my cowboy friends, humility. You guys acted as though you won the whole thing when you beat our Saints. Its not all about how you do in the regular season. Its how you finish. Saints Nation is hopefully very hopeful that we win the whole thing this year. Then you can at least hang your hat on the fact that you were a team that beat the SUPERBOWL CHAMPS!!!
GEAUX SAINTS…
To all Saint fans keep the Faith, Believe, and be HUMBLE!!!
And for Bro Warner. No question Warner is a Hall of Fame QB. However he folds under pressure. He going to be in the Hall because he took 2 different teams to the Superbowl. And mostly because he took a franchise like the Cards to the Superbowl.
I remember saying last year. If the f’n Cards can make it why can’t my boys. Well I’m still on bending knee asking for this to happen this year. As I said previously we just have to BELIEVE!!!
I’ve said it a million times. I can die happy knowing the Saints won a superbowl. My life at that point will be complete…
I have felt you pain for 42 years and 20 weeks.
As a lifetime Saints fan(I was at Tom Dempsey’s kick, Archies touchdown on the last play of his first game, the 22 minute booing against the Eagles, et al,) I want to thank you for putting into words what I have felt all my life. WHO FUCKIN’DAT!!!
[...] [...]
I love the saints and I would love to see a superbowl victory. However, the profane and immature article lacks class and would likely be looked down upon by most of the team members and coaches who seem to be men of character.
Uh Joseph, these are YOUNG men on this team. I think they would ALL find this fitting and hilarious! Guys like Jeremy Shockey, Anthony Hargrove, Charles Grant, Bobby McRay all have had some minor “character” issues in their careers. You need to get off your high horse and not put these guys on too high of a pedestal. They are human beings first and foremost and athletes second. “Profane and immature”? This is a BLOG sir. I really don’t think it was meant to be a submission for the Pulitzer Prize.If you follow any of the player comments, almost to a man they all say the LOVE the WHODAT NATION and it’s fans. I don’t think they would take umbrage to this at all. Lastly, I give you a line from the Bill Murray movie STRIPES.
“LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS”! in your case insert JOSEPH!
Easily one of the best articles ever written! WE ALL FEEL EVERY SINGLE WORD MY MAN! Before saying that this team deserves this…. (which they very much do)… F that! We need this! The longtime fans, the city, THE STATE OF LOUISIANA! If u can’t feel what this man is saying or don’t understand or just flat out don’t like what he is saying…. go kill yourself bc that’s inside the mind of a TRUE Saints fan.
[...] affirming, sensual and meaningful **** YOU. That’s for you. That’s how we feel. The Rest.. [...]
What’s your daddy look like…cuz something tells me we were separated at birth..
Joseph,
Sometime this is how grown men speak and relate with each other. When your testicale drop, you can join the club, Until then enjoy your modern bride magazine, ice cream socialze, and thorazine. Sure, this article is vulgar and profane, and brillaintly written. Maybe I am just not the man of high moral standing you are, but I gaurantee a true Saints fan has said every vulgarity, in mixed company, without thinking, in either joy and misery, watching the Saint. What team you been watching all these years? Much love to all Saints fans, players, and staff from the Irish Channel!
DUDE. You are my brother from another mother fo’ sho’. I’ve been a Saints Fan and proud member of Who Dat Nation since I was soiling Pampers in St. Mary Parish. I wanted to will Hebert, Fourcade, or Walsh to be good. I hate that we wasted Dalton Hilliard. Iron Head was one of my childhood heroes until he went to Atlanta and started filming soap commercials. I wanted to cry when the Dome Patrol left. I hated having 2 QB’s on our roster named “Billy Joe”. I wanted to commit a violent felony against Aaron Brooks every time he threw an INT and smiled about it. I’ve followed them from all the way up in Alaska since my family moved here back in 1996. When my daughter was born last year she got a Saints onesie for game days. I will be drunk for days if we pull this off. I needed this column. Good job man! WHO DAT?!
I laughed harder than I have ever laughed reading this article. I shouldn’t have read it at work everyone here (Dallas,TX) thought I was nutz. Geaux Saints and congrats to all the newborn WHO DATS when we win the Superbowl!
Typical HoDat Fan full of profanity and Bullshit, My Vikings are going to kick Ass !!!!!!!!!!!!
I live 60 miles south of Chicago..in Lowell Indiana…I moved here 20 years ago, to my husbands home town. There are only Bears fans or recently converted from Bears fans to Colts fans here..So I was a good wife and hoped the Bears did well unless they played the Saints…So in 2006 when the Saints lost to the Bears in the NFC title game I was beyond crushed…I talked to no one for a week and from that day on I hope the Bears get their asses kicked in everyway possible..That is how we feel about every team that has taken it away from us..So yes this was the aritcle of the decade as far as I am concerned…People who are not Saints fans will never get it…NEVER!!! My husband thinks I am crazy when it comes to how I feel about The Saints and to that I tell him…SO FUCKING WHAT!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Viking punk, you best go check BroWarner’s “prediction” and see what it got him. Love loud mouth aholes who talk shit BEFORE the game only to look like the fools they are AFTER the game. Keep talkin shit buddy, you’re only settin’ yourself up for failure.
btw, genius,”bullshit” is considered profane. Ignorant asshole.
GEAUX SAINTS!
Thank you very much for taking me there. This season has been an education for me. I’ve learned that the ebb and flow of my emotional status is inextricably bound to the SAINTS’ win-loss record. I’ve ;earned that the only good SAINTS game is a game in which we demoralize the opponent and have the game sewed up by half time. Most importantly, I’ve learned that it takes every ounce of my being to prevent verbally abusing opposing fans, and starting fights with strangers for making stupid remarks.
I knew it wasn’t just me!
First, let me say WHO DAT! Second, if nothing else got in this post, it was “Negro Anger.” Is that similar to “Negro dialect”? lol. GREAT post!
I was at the very first Saints game with my dad I was 10. I am now 52. What a way to express what I’ve been feeling for years, We wiil be set free in year number 43 WHO DAT!
Two days left WHO DATS! Anyone going to the game, please come by and say hello. We tailgate in the Dome Parking Garage accross from the Bud Bridge. We have a 10×20 blue tent and a HUGE blow up Saints player on our hood. If you can’t find that, just look for this girl and you know you are in the right spot. Her name is Elaine and I GUARANTEE you she’s the BIGGEST Saints fan you ever did see!

Oh. My. God.
I just screamed, then passed out. None of that fake, “When Harry Met Sally” bullshit.
Pure, unadulterated bliss.
YOU NAILED IT, MY MAN.
Love,
Heather
Thanx for nailing true fandom & letting the NFL & it’s fans know what it is to be TRUE fans. Fans who never sold out like so many other fair-weather-fans (oh how many there really are, eh?).
Who Dat. BREESIAN weather in the Dome.
Geaux SAINTS.
I hope Reggie brings the Who BAT =][=
I came here last week and I’m coming here today. Let’s keep it going. Do it for all the members of who dat nation who are still with us and for all of those watching from above. Believe. Faith. Who Dat!
We are one of the only teams left to never to go. If we go, you have no idea how many illegitimate children of various races will be born.
That is absolutely hilarious. Great blog, congrats on the win, and good luck in Miami!
very well put, couldn’t have said it better myself buddy!! to all of the NON-beleivers, i have a few choice words for you that i rather not put into here. but it has become quite evident from last night that this year is going to be a BLACK AND GOLD SUPERBOWL BABY!! poor Brett Farve got ran over numberous times and threw ONE too many intereceptions, which cost them the game! i hope you are as proud of our boys as i am. please keep up the amazing material that you write also, not just regarding the Saints, but all of your material is amazing. thanks!
Jean
You said it…They did it….Saints are going to the SUPERBOWL BABY
Hahaha, great article! And for that dumbass viking fan, whoDat Bitch! We goin to the Bowl, and you swimmin in the toilet bowl eatin our shit! Black n Gold Superbowl!
Dang, I was hoping to come here today and see Viking Fan eat his words. Course, he’s a coward and won’t show his face. All the better, I’d rather hear from all the WHO DATS. We are all living our dream this season and we have one more win to geaux!
GEAUX SAINTS!
Good writing. Should have been an A+ but the writer is one with cursing and foolish mouth. Does he/she have respect for Jesus at all. What’s all these–fucking, shit, etc? Do these words make him feel tough or super or what?
This can be a wonderful guy that needs to respect and love his Father in heaven. Stop using such stupid words. You are great without them. I love you brother. Go Saints. Super Bowl 2010—- Saints over the Colts by 8 to 11 points.
Jesus, you want to preach? Go find a pulpit. This not the place for your religious rantings. This is an adult blog and he’s expressing his true feelings. Please stop pontificating. Leave that for church please.
GEAUX SAINTS!
That’s pretty fucking good! I would like to add one point: That is that the country as whole does like, if not love, the Saints. We represent the underdog everyone wants to pull for — fuck even the President just came out and said he wants the Saints to win despite the fact that he needs Indiana in 2012 to win back the White House and Louisiana will go Republican no mater what. So, while the Cowboys used to be America’s team, that distinction has moved on to a more deserving Saints. So, let everyone bandwagon with us. This too shall help our great city recover, and help the rest of the country find some glimmer of hope amongst the doom and gloom of this recession.
Hilarious. Who the hell ARE you???
Lafayette, LA
This was hilarious and so on point. From a die hard Saints fan to another WHO DAT BITCHESS!!!!!!!
Roll call for the SuperBowl, I’ll be there. WHO ELSE!
GEAUX SAINTS!
P.S. WHO DAT (fuck you NFL)
Btw, anyone here know how I can obtain 2 tickets without signing over my first born?
GEAUX SAINTS!
Hello! Great topic, but will this really work?
NFLFJ, ????? What work, what are you talking about?
Dude! Great piece. I also am a life long fan and suffered through Sunday upon Sunday of the emotional roller coaster that we Saints fans endured for years. I was in the dome when Billy “White Shoes” Johnson caught the first “Hail Mary” pass. I was also there when Morton beat the cowpokes on Monday night with no time left on the clock. It’s our year, our time, and our game.
GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
YOU CAN’T BEAT AN ENTIRE CITY! WHO DAT!
GEAUX SAINTS!
perfect!!!!
WHO DAT!?!
I’m a Saints fan of 20 years almost to the day! Im from England and have lived in and around London my entire life. I saw the Saints in preseason ’89 for the first time – we lost to the Skins! i have seen the Saints play twice and win twice in my home town and in recent years have travelled to NOLA and other US cities to watch the team play – i have been with the Saints on the road to Seattle twice, NYJ, Bucs and of course Wembley Stadium. last Season i saw 5 games – a record for me!
Everything this guy said is the truth! and for those of you know about Soccer – following the Saints is alot like following the England national team! perrenial under-achievers for too long. The support i see for the Saints is akin to the support of a National team because of the sense of pride that comes from being from that area – No other team in the NFL has support like the Saints!
i’ll be watching from the Sports Cafe London on Sunday night, drinking ’till the small hours and watching my team WIN! Who Dat!
UK Saints.
Came here for the cardinals game and again for the Vikings. Back for the colts. One more win. Please. Faith. Do it for every member of who dat nation here with us and every one watching from above. You get it. You know how much it means to us. Finish strong.
Who Dat!
Congrats New Orleans…you guys deserve it.
Oh, and you can always remind your Eagles fan friend that the team once known as the “Aint’s” now has one more ring than the team in Philly…
fix credit…
I am going to put this website to my diggs!…
With thanks… Yet a typical superb way of looking at things, which is why I come back for a web-site quite often.
