As you are a NE transplant, I will suceede you your vastly superior knowledge about the "goings on" related to Saints football. /sarcasmoff
But allow me to interject:
1. They were not a team "always" brought up in relocation talks- the heat came after 2005 and Katrina- and as a fan base that was reduced to 1/3 of its size, we stepped up. So we hold ourselves in a little higher regard when it comes to terms of "fandom".
2. Fox didnt buy up all the tickets- Hibernia Natl Bank did.
3. Sure we have had our seasons of bad, mediocre and good. But who hasnt?
1. BS, Benson wanted to move the team several times.
2. does it really matter WHO bought them?
3. Again not the point. We know we've had bad seasons but for a fan base that is laregely unheard of prior to 3 years ago to call out our fanbase is plain stupid. There are good and bad Saints fans, same with Pats fans, but I don't see us routinely trying to call ourselves the best fans eer, so dedicated, blah blah, like the Saints do. Hey we were coming off some of the worst years in franchise history when we started our sellout streak, no one seems to ever want to point that out though.
