1998 when the saints opened up the season with a victory over the Rams. I was 10 years old and this was the first Saints game I really watched as I had just become interested in football.

I was born into!

But it really kicked in when I watched Dempsey's kick on tv with my dad and he explained to me what just happened.

Although I was born a Saints fan, I have been to every home game (minus Katrina year) since 1994 (I was 7)

I was a big fan when I was a little kid, I mean real little. I had a saints helmet, pajamas, etc. In elementary school, right during some of their worst years, it got to be really really uncool to wear anything saints related. Nevertheless, I had a new pair of saints shoes. Some a-hole teased me about it and even tried to spit on them (I think he missed but I can't remember)


I really started following the Saints in 1977 when I was 6 and could figure out what was going on. I also remember being the only kid in my New Orleans school that wore a Saints coat. Everyone else was in Cowboys and Steelers crap. We wore those jackets with the faux leather sleeves and the felt-like material with the little round team helmet patch on the left chest. I can clearly remember talking shite to my friends and classmates after the 8-8 1979 season...I learned my lesson about talking shite.
