I will care about the Saints just as much, but with every passing season I lose more and more interest in the NFL as a whole.
My Grandfather came up with a system back in the 80's that I may adopt. He was a Braves fan back when TBS broadcast every game except those on Wednesdays. But, he was also an avid bowler and those league nights were often in conflict with Braves games. So he came up with the very first "DVR" system that I ever saw. He had a multiple VCR setup on the TV in the den and he recorded every game. Then, if they won, he would watch the game and enjoy it. Oddly enough, due to the nature of those Braves teams, he preferred to watch the innings when they pitched and would fast forward through everything else until he found an inning when they scored and he would watch that. But if they lost, he just recorded over it the next night. He had figured out a way to enjoy the games, but move away from the sting of the losses just a bit. It wasn't like he didn't watch the highlights of the losses, or read the box scores, but he didn't watch the whole game and have to endure the irritation quite as much. It also left him free to enjoy his activities, friends, and family without being tied to his TV quite as much.
That may be where I end up in a few years. Enjoying the good games, gliding through the poor ones a little easier, and also having more time for my loved ones on the weekends.
That doesn't sound so bad to me.
