I like Kansas City as an AFC team but I don't really care if they win or lose.
I, like you, couldn't care less about football if LSU or the Saints lose that weekend. I don't even listen to sports talk or watch sports shows that week

Well my family is not originally from the region and I didn't go to LSU so I'm not necessarily a diehard LSU fan. I do cheer for them casually though and was definitely disappointed when they lost in the NC game in January. My family is originally from Kentucky and my dad, sister, and I went to Louisville so they are actually my primary college sports team. All in all if LSU loses it doesn't ruin my weekend.
It is a totally different situation with the Saints. Being from Kentucky we have no pro sports teams at all so we are free to choose who we want to cheer for. I didn't really have an NFL team growing up. When we moved to Mississippi though I picked up the Saints very quickly, my mom bought me a few Saints stuff and I started watching the games as much as possible. Eventually I even got to attend a few games. This was during the Jim Mora days in New Orleans and the Saints were pretty decent overall (of course then the Ditka years happened. ). The Saints are my obsession though and I am the same way, if the Saints lose I can't watch football the rest of the weekend. I still have never re-watched the Saints - 49ers game and have never even seen the box score. I couldn't watch the NFC Championship Game and only watched parts of the Super Bowl, it was simply too painful. I honestly have no other team I even remotely cheer for in the NFL, I cheer for the Saints and whoever is playing the Falcons, Bucs, and Panthers.

Neither do I! I go out of my way to avoid channels and radio stations that are going to remind me of the game. I throw away the Sports Illustrated issues that cover the game and avoid newspapers as well. So glad there are others out there that share this behavior! My wife thinks its hilarious for awhile then gets mad at me for avoiding her because she keeps bringing it up to laugh about it. I think my beloved deceased Golden Retriever was the only one who really understood.
