Feel the Chill of an Icy Brees
Curse these likable Saints!
You know how I know that New Orleans won’t win the Super Bowl this year? Because it would be way too acceptable to the average viewer. Of all the teams that could possibly contend for a title this year, the Saints are the only one (OTHER THAN MAH STILLERS, A-COURSE!) that I would be perfectly content with them getting a championship.
And the likable team never wins titles. NEVER! Sure, on occasion the MORE likable team will win a Super Bowl (viz. SB XLII) but never an entirely likable one.
Look at ‘em, likable little bastards. Breesus leads the league in likability and skipping passes on water. Even with Jeremy Shockey on the roster, I have a hard time hating them (no small feat). Even knowing a Saints title would force more Archie Manning on my television, I can’t say I would be all that troubled by the overall prospect of it happening. I’ve never had a bad experience with a Saints fan. I mean, I’m sure they’re all raging Cajun dickholes when they get in LSU mode, but for whatever reason, when they don the Saints gear they become halfway tolerable, which is the highest compliment I can pay a fan of a franchise other than my own. Most importantly, of course, the Saints have never won dick, so it’s not like their fans could get all that cocky afterward.
And that’s why the Saints are doomed. DOOMED, I SAY!

If it helps, I understand that Tom Benson is a nasty little prick who prances around with a parasol after Saints victories.
Then again, that may make you like them even more.

I even have to like Reggie Bush on the Saints. He was a bust as a north to south runner, but he seems to be working to find a niche on New Orleans and not whining and crying about “being used properly” al la TO.

I don’t know about their fans, ape– PK took time out today to tell us how shoddily the Bowers or whomever were treated at the Superdome whilst rooting for the Giants. Cafe du Monde does not make up for that sort of thing.

Don’t make the mistake of equating Saints fans with LSU fans – LSU fans are coon-assses and rednecks from up river.
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Ape, you ought to know that LSU fans are not the same thing as Saints fans. LSU gets its fans across the state (and most of the northern residents tend to side with the Cowboys).
Yeah, we got Cowboys fans in our state. Pity us.

Went to school for a little while in NO–and I have to say that the vast majority of Saints fans I encountered were like the better Redskins fans here in DC; extremely loyal to the team itself (if not the ownership, coach, qb, etc that make up the standard fodder for ‘angry-fan chat’), even when the team was awful. Although unlike a lot of fans, even when they were in ‘woe is me’ mode they had a fairly endearing ‘eh, whattya gonna do? it’s the saints, god bless em’ vibe about them–which is kinda impressive.
Also there were a lot of them–I think part of that might be that the Fleur De Lis (that spade thingy) + gold and black was a pretty badass combo.

As both a Saints and LSU Tigers fan, I both resemble and resent those remarks.
November 2nd, 2009 at 6:11 pm
LSU Fans are fucking Bayou Debris.
The rotten tires and beer cans of human beings.

Dear Breesus –
I need 5 TDs and 350+ yards from you this evening so that I may smite my enemy. That and Steve Slaton’s head on a stick. Thank you in advance for answering my prayer.

Was this title taken from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s turn as Mr. Freeze in “Batman & Robin”?

@Otto
Ice to see you make that reference

@ Monkey Time
Actually, PK was remarking how well they were treated by Saints fans, despite the fact that they were wearing Giants apparel.
It was largely remarkable because most of us Northeasterners are not used to those things that some refer to as “compassion”, “friendliness”, and “human decency”.

It’s all fun and games until we’re getting PeyPey vs. Daddy’s old team (lovable losers, no less) shoved down our throats come Super Bowl week.

It’s Matty Ice vs. Drew Brees! Icy Brees! Get it?

@NH: Yes, and I blame the Northeast for a solid 70% of Miami fans. Southern idiocy, Northeastern arrogance, all the to tune of gay Cuban dance music.

nothing to do with this post, but if anyone is ever in New Orleans, have a Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle, it will be fucktastic, i am with Reggie Bush Pimp, alot LSU fans dont even care for the NFL, and some of them like those Cowboys.

To be fair, Ufford was distracted by January Jones being distracted by JFK getting killed.

Dammit, I haven’t watched this week’s “Mad Men” yet! You’ve got to put in a spoiler alert!

Shit… sorry Otto… I um… won’t tell you who did it.

I’m wondering if anything will come of those silly plot lines about Kinsey going on “civil rights marches”- whatever the hell those are.

Uh…thanks, Ape?

Once I am done with my time in Hawaii – NO is going to be my next living spot. I’ll probably end up with season tickets there too, though I’ll still be a Seahawks fan. The Saints do have the hot Fuck da Eagles girl though. That’s a plus.

While I’ll agree that the 42 people who liked the Saints before Brees showed up seemed pretty cool, the Saints’ bandwagon must have made quite a few stops at Tards “R” Us for the fall sale because lately they have quite a few annoying fucks posting everywhere…just like every other team.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I’m down with original Saints fans who really stuck by the team.
Never really a fan of bandwagon jumpers though. But hey if they mind their manners it’s allright.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:08 pm
I like how Ape matter-of-factly points out that LSU fans are among the worst people in the entire world.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:46 pm
I suffered through the ’70s with the Saints/Aints, suffered even more through Scum Phillips, rejoiced with the Dome Patrol even though they never won dick, put up with Ditka and his Ricky Williams deal and dreads, and lived through Haslett and Aaron Brooks. I’m not gonna feel bad about gloating just a little with a real winner in town. Who Dat??!!!

The Sainte likeable? If Shockey gets traded or dies, we’ll talk.
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:08 am
I’m not a Colts fan, but I really want to see them go 19-0 this year, if only because it would drive a stake deep into Bill Simmons’ heart.
I could live with the Saints going 19-0, but that wouldn’t hurt Simmons nearly as much. After the last couple of years of douchitude, we deserve to see some suffering.

A Steelers fan calling any other type of fan a terrible person is like McDonalds calling Starbucks a purveyor of watered-down second-rate coffee.

So what’s the analogy for a Pats fan knocking Steelers fans as insufferable? A sweatshop saying Wal-Mart has shitty working conditions?
November 3rd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
PirateSloth-
the waiting list for Saints season tickets is over 55,000. The dome seats 70,000 and change. This means that over 125,000 people either HAVE, or WANT Saints season tickets. That’s over 10% of the people who live in metro new orleans (and around 30% of the people who live in New Orleans proper).
So, what I’m saying is, good luck.
November 3rd, 2009 at 5:15 pm
@ Free Ookie: Ape clearly hasn’t met a lot of Florida fans. Or Bama fans. Or Ole Miss fans. Or Auburn fans.
November 4th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I liked the Steelers last year. Still like em this year. On a related point, I still hate the Cardinals.
