re: does baton rouge/lsu dislike new orleans/saints?

I grew up in Baton Rouge as a huge Saints fan. So were all of my friends. That being said, there are quite a few BR folks who have idiotic zero-sum mentalities about LSU sports and by extension the Saints.

The Manships, who own the Advocate, are clearly in this mold. They publish editorials ripping the Saints every time an opportunity presents itself.

But they aren't representatives of everyone outside of New Orleans.
