I could not believe all of the cock stroking Simms and his booth partner did talking about Sanchez, it just went on and on and on. We're talking about Sanchez here folks, not Joe Montana.

So, I'm going for a Colts/Saints game as well. That way, I won't have to listen to all the adversity that Favre had to overcome during his career and all the memories and look backs on his playing days (which I'm sure Madden masturbates to) and no Sanchez, please, please stop talking about him, he's not that good.

While I agree all the pre-game hype would be incredibly annoying if the Vikings were to make it, unless you are forced to watch sports TV or listen to sports talk radio for your job, it's also pretty easy to ignore.

That is very true. Usually all I want to see are the previews for the upcoming match ups. I don't care at all about all the hype or smack talk.

I made it 10 days before I heard anything about last year's Super Bowl and I live in one of the cities that was in it.

It wasn't easy but can be done.

It doesn't seem like he should have been arrested, but he sure was an annoying dickbag.

JediKooter · 01-18-2010, 02:54 PM

He was shining a laser into Nate Kaedings eyes.

k0ruptr · 01-18-2010, 03:31 PM

Hey, here's a thought! It's also pretty amazing what Favre has done at this season. I think I can put up with a few more weeks of hearing about it. Whats 3 more weeks out of the rest of my life lol...

PS I do admit that they do go over board on it, but who really cares.

Lathum · 01-18-2010, 06:22 PM

I watched without sound, was the guy using a lot of profanity or something?

Yes. This is incredibly interesting to me, as I am of the opposite opinion of the majority of this board, apparently. Perhaps it is because I never watch sports TV besides a game or two a week? I don't really watch the buildups or sports media or whatever, ever...

That being said, I think Brett Favre making the Super Bowl with the Vikings would be an incredible story. I think because of "the media", people now hate great stories? Of COURSE they're going to have a field day with it, it's a huge deal if a 40 year old 19th year QB makes the Super Bowl with the team that was his biggest rival for 16 seasons.

I can't believe how jaded people here are. If you can't appreciate a great sports story because of the media, maybe you need to cut down your media consumption.

Not trying to sound as harsh as I do.

k0ruptr · 01-18-2010, 06:58 PM

What I was trying to say in a nicer way. I am in agreement here though.

"Who dat,Who dat Vikings gonna beat dem Saints"

1987 Wildcard round at New Orleans Vkings win 44-10
2000 Divisional Playoff round at New Orleans Vikings win 34-16
2009 Placeholder

Saints fans do the talking prior to the game while the Vikings do the talking on the field.

w/ no disrespect intended for Tigercat as Im sure he isnt one of the fans talking all the $hit before the game is even played.

2 victories over a 22 year span is certainly telling.

2 road playoff wins is actually pretty telling with the Saints playoff history.

They have been to the playoffs what 6-7 times and been knocked out at home against the Vikings twice.

Well, I agree that Bobby Hebert and Dalton Hilliard will have a rough time this weekend. I'm not sure why the Saints are bringing them out of retirement for this game, but you're right, they just don't have what it takes to beat the Vikings.

k0ruptr · 01-18-2010, 07:14 PM

Hey, Dalton Hilliard was the fucking man.

You just wait and see what Chris Doleman and Joey Browner have up their sleeve.

PS I NEVER said they dont have what it takes. I was pointing out the past history of Saints fans talking all week while the Vikings do the talking when it matters.

Not at all, just doing the Jets chant. Even the Chargers fans were screaming "HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!" at the cops.

Yeah that was messed up! It didnt appear he was provoking fights or anything

He wasnt using common sense in acting the way he did but there was no reason for him to be arrested unless they were worried about his well being.

I saw at the end the guy sitting behind the Jets fans exchanged phone numbers with the woman who was with the arrested guy. I wonder if he was going to file a complaint or be a witness or something.

ColtCrazy · 01-18-2010, 08:14 PM

Okay, this week just got even longer, but in a good way.

My dad and I have been season ticket holders to the Colts since 87.

Today, we got the letter allowing us to buy Super Bowl tickets. Colts win, and we're going to Miami.

The Colts have to win...and I have to make it through the week without having a heart attack.

Why are you comparing fans of one team now to the players of another team 9 and 22 years ago? I don't know what kind of talk you're responding to, but maybe your posts would make more sense if you said it to those people instead of us?

albionmoonlight · 01-19-2010, 08:18 AM

Random Thought:

Guys work 80 hour weeks for years and move from city to city to city and generally bust their ass for the chance to become one of the 32 NFL coaches in the world.

So why is it that Rex Ryan seems to be the only one who actually enjoys the job?

I didnt realize you would take it personally. It wasnt meant for any Saints fan on this board. I mentioned no disrespect to Tigercat as he as always acted very humble and has always been an intelligent fan. I didnt mention others as Im not real sure on who the other Saints fans are in this forum.

What I am talking about is the ESPN/Fox/CBS coverage prior to the games in 87/00. They would interview fans and all Id hear is that "who dat" line over and over to the point it got annoying. Its one thing to be excited about your team doing well its another to use some really annoying line over and over and get your asses handed to you. Media outlets do a horrible job of doing things like this. They made the Saints fans look like an annoying bunch of fans with no clue about football them two particular years.

Sorry, It wasnt meant for you or any Saint fans on this board. Its all about the stupid NFL coverage and how they portray a fanbase.

I wasn't taking it personally, and I'm not a Saints fan. I don't really watch national coverage that have fan interviews, and even if I did, I certainly wouldn't remember them 10 and 20 years later. It just sounded like you were responding to something that you assumed everyone knew about, and I'm guessing that everyone else on the forum is like me and doesn't really remember whatever it is you saw, and therefore had no idea what you were talking about -- so it came off like you were just talking shit yourself in one half of your post, while accusing other people of talking shit in the other half.

An added bit of info that may explain why the fans and coverage were annoying - both years were special cases - 1987 was the first year the Saints made the playoffs, so the Vikings game was the teams first playoff game. The 2000 game was after the Saints first ever playoff win.

Saints fans fans have had very few chances to celebrate a successful team.
