I grew up watching the saints get throttled, then we got the Pels and they quickly turned south.
The thing is, when things go right it’s awesome. The bitter makes the sweet so much sweeter.

Bingo!
This is something I’ve never understood and also reference to the ‘can’t help who his son supports comment’ … you absolutely can.
I enjoyed sports, parents took me to see the local team, bought me the shirt…that was enough to build the relationship for life, win or lose… mainly lose.
There can’t be any, or absolutely as much enjoyment, if your home town team wins something as opposed to the team you’ve picked for no reason than you like the player at the time.
My sports teams have never won anything so never experienced the enjoyment yet…hopefully this season though. Have picked up The Saints this relationship too, post 2007 though, been to both London games.
I absolutely, however, see the irony in that at some point back in the 90s I picked a basketball team to follow…
I have a good excuse in that there’s no NBA here… clearly.
To answer your other question… 90s… bogues, LJ, Zo… good marketing. Followed ever since and came over when the franchise moved to NOLA… have been to NOLA 3 times and coming back in March…love the city.

One of my most treasured experiences was sitting in Tiger Stadium in 1993 for every minute of the 58-3 whipping that Steve Spurrier put in on us.
I soaked in every bit of that humiliation, and it made watching the 1997 game so much sweeter -- my favorite sports experience of all time was being in Tiger Stadium for that win over #1 Florida when we got our revenge.
