you could not be more wrong. plenty have a favorite and a second favorite from the other conference and do not jump ship.

The Saints, that's my team, always will be, but I am also a big fan of the game.


There are quite a few teams I just enjoy watching.

The Patriots would be at the top, very similar to the Saints. They are fun to watch.
Green Bay, another team similar.
I've always loved the Steelers/Ravens games, and enjoy watching both teams because of their defenses.
Texans, Lions, even loved the Tebow miracles last year.
I'm just a fan of Football, I watch as much NFL as I can. There is absolutely nothing that compares to watching the Saints, nothing, but I definitely enjoy watching several other teams when they aren't playing.

Right. Affirm your fandom by calling me a bandwagon fan.

I'm not even gonna lie. That hurts, but I am not going to post about my fandom to prove a point to you about it. (I have been a snob about fandom myself in the past.)

It is what it is.

This.

I've pointed out the similarities many times, and its the same reason I enjoy the Saints.

It also helps that the Pats fans were intensely rooting us on in the Super Bowl.

Part of it, of course, was driven by them wanting to see Manning get beat, but they seemed to genuinely want us to win, with some going all Who Dat & wanting to buy Saints jersies after the game.

Page 29: Onsides kick reaction

Page 53: Porter's Interception reaction

The whole thing is well worth the read and re-living the moments through other eyes who can appreciate what the Saints accomplished.

I actually know a lot of Steelers fans. There are a high number of them that work with me on the State Docks in Mobile. They are all older than me though. I went with them down to the Saints-Steelers game on Halloween a few years ago, that was a good night

They all know their shite about the Steelers and usually have a good take on other teams too. They have given me a lot of hell during the bountygate BS but its all in good fun. They really are the only ones who I can go have a talk with about pro football around here because everyone else on the job is a college football fan first. I mean I guess the rest pull for the Saints but they clearly don't follow them as much as Alabama or Auburn.

I don't hate the Steelers. They definitely don't piss me off like the Falcons, Cowboys, and 49ers do though. Don't get me wrong though, it is still fun to see them lose.

If it weren't for the Saints, I probably would never have had an interest in the NFL in the first place. So there is no alternative for me to the Saints.

There are a few teams I like besides the Saints. Bears, Bengals, Bills, Broncos, Cardinals, Chargers, Chiefs, Giants, Jaguars, Jets, Lions, Ravens, Seahawks, Steelers, and Titans.

My number two team used to be the Packers when they had Brett Favre. I also used to like the Steelers prior to Rothlisburger arriving.

I can't root for the Cowboys because the media never shuts up about them.

I liked the Jets before Rex Ryan and Mark Sanchez showed up.

The Cards, Bengals, Browns, Texans, Jags, Redskins, Dolphins, Bills, and Chiefs are rarely relevant enough for me to care about them.

I liked Indy when they had Peyton.

I hate the Pats, Falcons, Rams, Vikings, Bears, Broncos, Seahawks, Bucs, Panthers, Giants, Eagles, and 49'ers.

I guess that leaves the Titans, Chargers, and Ravens.

I guess if I had to root for another team, it would be either the Chargers, Texans, or Ravens.

I like all the teams. It's not really who wins or loses that's important, it's that everybody tries their best and has fun.

That is stupid.

Pittsburgh and New Orleans have absolutely nothing in common as cities.

Baltimore, on the other hand, is a very similar city to New Orleans in lots of ways.
