Sean Payton opens up about why he left the Saints (merged)

Makes you wonder why we put up with it year after year. I mean, what's in it for us to be jobbed every year and have no recourse except to impotently yell at the clouds?

Is one 2009 worth a lifetime of angst? Is just the hope of breaking through all those headwinds one more time worth it?

Sports fandom is stupid when you really break it down. None of us would tolerate this sort of return in our investment portfolio, and yet here we all are counting the days until the opener so that we can go through it all over again.
One big factor for me is my friends watch it. It's a social outlet for me to just go to the bar and hang out with my friends and watch the Saints. If I watched it alone every week, perhaps I'd think harder about your question.
