I bet that 13-3 reg season followed by a Super Bowl run consumed ALL of y’all, didn’t it?? Tell the truth

I've been consumed by the Saints for most of my life. I went to my first Saints game when I was 6 years old. That was 1988.

I still love the team. The way fans rally around the team is probably second only to Pittsburgh. I think it's because we're a small market and the Saints we're the biggest thing in town. They still are.

But I can't even calculate how many hours during the week I use to spend talking and thinking about the Saints.

I use to be one of the most active users on here. I racked up 30k post in under a year. I use to stay up till 2-3 in the morning with my wife sleeping next to me.

I'm still a big fan. I just did some growing up and took my time back. 3 hours a week and some chatter here and there is plenty.

Absolutely, it did. The years prior and following did too. I had my first kid last year and all of a sudden, football means way less than it did. Couple that with a mediocre coach and voila! I'll still watch every single game, talk about it the day after, and get excited when the next game approaches, but I'm not going to lose a second of sleep or allow myself to get so mad my day is ruined like I did back then.
