I’m a huge fan, fan since I was a little kid and I’m damn near 40. But I’m not going to mope around like some people because of a goddamn game. I was back to normal by Monday. Way more important things in life than football.

As I said in another thread:

That is what is so infuriating about the "it's just a game everyone calm down" line. I understand it's just a game, and I understand players play it and the fans cheer, however I spent a couple of thousand dollars just yesterday and a few more thousand over the past season to watch my team play. I've had season tickets for over a decade. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars supporting my team and the NFL.

You're goddamn right I have and deserve an opinion about a questionable product.

So to have the entire season come down to shity officiating call is truly infuriating. It robs the team and the fans of the integrity of the product and the promise of a fair sporting event. And it turns the tens of thousands of dollars I've spent supporting that product from an honest and professional experience to theft.

To say: it's just a game, get over it is pathetic ignorance at best. It's a gross over simplification.

I agree. I have a family, kids, friends, church family, job, etc etc but this is not something I'll be over in 24 hours. Maybe not even in 24 days. I've cheered for the Saints since I've known what football was . I spend thousands of dollars each year to watch them play between tickets, hotels , etc. This team earned a SuperBowl appearance this year but it was taken away by probably the worst non-call I've ever seen in all my life. Life will go on but if you are over it by the next day then you can't truly be a fan IMO.. but hey I'm just a pissant and that's my two cents.
