As another poster said, in high school and college it did.

As you grow older, you realize that the NFL is just a business with grown men getting overpaid to entertain on Sunday's/Monday's. It's just a job to them.

The San Fran playoff game was the last one I was really pissed off about. After that, I realized that I needed to grow up.


That one still hurts.

Honestly I don't get blame anyone for getting upset when we lose and being upset that we've sucked for going on 3 years now. These years with Brees may be our only hope to win for a long time. When Brees retires Im sure I'll take the losses much better

I don't anymore, when I'm at the game it affects me until I get in my car and make my way home. At home or at a friends house, it affects me until the final 0:00s hit the screen. After that, there are more important things/moments in life to consume my attention.

These last few games have been brutal and stung quite a bit

These are the types of games I enjoy. It makes it a lot more interesting and keeps me entertained throughout the game. Of course it sucks to lose, but I would rather know my team was right there at the end then to think they don't even belong on the same field.

On the other side, I tuned out halfway through the LSU game this past weekend bc of the way they manhandled MSU in the 1st half; well until MSU started making a serious push at the end.

i actually expect them to lose 90% of the time unless by chance we're playing the jags or browns...

I was watching the game and turned to my friend and said you know we're going to lose in the last 5 seconds right

I'm used to the Saints losing now so it doesn't bother me much at all anymore. It is expected.

Life is easy when you're a die hard fan of all 32 teams.

The Oakland game had me extremely pissed off; even worse is the fact LSU lost that weekend. The Saints job was to calm down my anger, but they only made it worse...

depends how vested you are. season ticket holders, such as myself, get upset because of our investment. feels like a waste of money sometimes. others could care less..

It used to set the mood for a week. I wouldn't throw a temper tantrum or anything, but I would start off a little down. My expectations are low this year, so it's not like I'm being disappointed by getting what I'm expecting.

I was excited about LSU before the season started, butty expectations are pretty tempered for that too at this point.

It's kinda a downer to start the week but the last few years has been a train wreck for most Saints fans.

Never. When the season ended in 2011 that was the only time a loss ever really lingered.
