Switched from the Rams to the Battlehawks. Best decision ever

Rams to Chiefs. Should have done it when Fat Andy first got there given his Mizzou connections. Definitely wasted a lot of time following the Bradford era.

Most Saints fans switched pro teams in 2006.

If you do, you were never really a fan of the first team.

I wouldn’t blame Chargers or Rams fans for changing over the last few years

Switched from Rockets to Pels to not watching

I guess I would swap the Astros for a NOLA team but we can't even keep a minor league team so there's no particular threat of that happening.

Fan of the Magic as a kid because Louisiana had no team. Became a fan of the Rockets when I moved to Houston. It coincided with me being mad that Shaq left Orlando. Lost interest in the NBA once the big 3 retired. Moved back to Louisiana and became a fan of the Hornets in 02 until present. Been a fan of the Mariners since 95 despite them being god awful though.

I disagree. I grew up a Saints fan. Moved to Dallas in 1984. Pulled for the Cowboys if they weren't playing the Saints, but never quit pulling for the Saints, especially when they played the Cowboys.

Didn't have an NBA, MLB, or NHL team growing up. Pull for the Mavs, Rangers and Stars after my 26 years in Dallas. I've been back in Louisiana for 10 years, but have no desire to pull for the Pelicans over the Mavs.

I switched guilds in WoW back in the Lich King days. I’m sure it was about the same.

No, unless you count when the Jazz left New Orleans.

Yes Oilers fan and then when they left Saints were number one. Still Astros, Rockets, and all LSU Teams. Now my other favorite teams are who ever plays Yankees, Notre Dame, Cowboys, and Alabama. Typical Bandwagon teams.

I didn’t say you had to, I just said you can. I’d have a hard time calling someone out for rooting for a team in a city they’ve lived in for a decade, regardless of who they cheered for prior to that

Never switched. But grew up Chicago area, moved around, and finally settled in Louisiana 15 years ago.

I now genuinely follow the Saints, and am more familiar with their roster, etc.. than the Bears, although I try to catch Sunday ticket when I can.

This is a frustrating combo because for most of the past 15 years because you go back and forth between not trusting a teams Offense (Bears) and not trusting a teams Defense (Saints).

Bears' offense on the field "3rd and 4, we're fricked"
Bears' defense on the field "Ok, so long as we keep them to a 3rd and 5 or more we're good"

Saints' offense on the field "3rd and 11, not the end of the world"
Saints' defense on the field "These bastards are about to let them convert on 3rd and 14 with 12 seconds left...."

I was a big Larry Johnson fan growing up so mine was the Charlotte Hornets. I was pretty stoked when they came to New Orleans.

Don't worry dude, we here in Memphis ignore your shitty, irrelevant NFL team almost as much as you do yourself.
