re: Young Saints fans took it hard

I have ridden the roller coaster of emotions as a saints fan in my 41 years. I remember being very young playing basketball in the driveway with my brothers on the day Archie wad traded. That's the first time they brought tears to my eyes. I didn't understand it. Why would you trade Archie?
I was heartbroken when Morten Andersen missed missed a 60 yarder that would have beaten Tampa in what was probably a meaningless game between two losing teams.
I had tears in my eyes when they beat the rams in the dome to win their first playoff game.
The 2009 run was unreal and ended in a couple tears of joy after the Tracy porter pick.
That was the last time they brought tears to my eyes. I was dumbfounded Sunday. It's still unreal to me. I was in shock. Then I turned around and saw my 10 year old son that lives and breathes anything sports. He was crying. First I felt bad for him, then I chuckled because he had no clue what the first 40 years were like for saints fans. Then I just felt old cause there are way more important things that could and have brought tears to my eyes and I can't imagine the saints doing it anymore.
