Why Saints Fans Are Better

The Saints have started this football season 0-2. We have not had a start to a season like this in 5 years and yet, I still believe. I still believe in this organization and these boys. Sure, sometimes the fans of the Black and Gold get a bad wrap but, here's why I think Saint's fans are the best in the league:

*We own the losses just like the wins. We don't make excuses. We admit when we are outplayed.

*Our boys are our biggest fans as well. They really are. They love the Who Dat Nation and they love my city and my state. 

*We have to fight and overcome for every victory both on and off the field. Everyone loves a comeback story and boy, aren't we a good one! We are all a "comeback" story, if you think about it! Sure, some of us are still trying to pull ourselves up to be a comeback story, but in due time, everyone is a comeback story. 

*The Saints have brought families together. They have brought our state together!

*We aren't a cocky organization, as a whole. 

*Even on our worst games these days, we know nothing compares to the "Aints" and nothing warrants a brown paper bag. I have never owned a paper bag for such and will never own one. I bleed my black and gold, proudly!

*We have our own songs! Nothing is better than our "get hype" songs, seriously!

*We truly do have the best food for football. 

*We haven't always been winners. We don't always win. We lose and we lose with dignity, always getting up and promising to improve. Promising to learn from mistakes and move on; never getting so under the loss that we lose sight of the next hurdle, the next goal.

*Our boys seem to realize that they are more than just football players. They have fun and make a difference in the lives of those in the community. They make mistakes, sure, we all do. They are still our heroes, faults and all.

*We love our boys in black and gold and still believe. It's on to week 3!
