An Unbreakable Bond: For the Saints and their fans, it’s about more than football

Even though I am not from New Orleans, I have been a Saints fan for 40 years from way up here in Maryland. This article absolutely rings true. There is just something about the Saints and the fans. It's almost like a fraternity that no other team can match.

I've had family in Louisiana and have friends there now and love New Orleans!

I've been lucky enough to travel to New Orleans multiple times for games in the Dome. I've seen it so bad, the Dome was chanting L-S-U while the Saints were getting throttled and I was blessed to be at the NFC Championship game against the Vikings. I remember being in New York in the late 90's when there were maybe 10 Saints fans and when the Saints scored a touchdown, I jumped up and yelled and had to look for other Saints fan sections away to cheer.

Highs and lows. I may b***h and curse their name, claim "I'm done" and "I will never watch them again" but I'll never stop being a fan. The Saints are in my blood. They are a part of me. They are an identifier: "Who is that guy?" "You know, the Saints fan." "Oh, right!"

Very spot on article.......
