re: When did you become a Saints fan

1981.
I was 13 (and just became a football fan a year before due to some Georgia freshman phenom RB named Herchel Walker), and Bum Phillips was spotlighted on an SI commercial.
They showed Bum with a halo and asked "Can a Bum lift the lowly Saints?" I missed the 1-15 season and all the other sorry ones before thankfully.
Though I do regret not getting to see Archie Manning's NFC MVP year in '78 with RB's Chuck Muncie & Tony Galbreath and pass catchers like Wes Chandler, Ike Harris, and Henry Childs.

He wasn't MVP. He was NFC offensive player of the year.
