Pro. Jake Delhomme

_ I'm a fan of Jake and all but I still don't understand how there are so many Panther fans in LA. I've yet to hear anyone give me a good explaination. Imo, if you were a Saints fan before Jake went to Carolina and now you're a Carolina fan then I think that's just a bad fan. I could understand if Carolina wasn't in the same division as the Saints but for petes sake they play each other twice a season.

(I know this would never happen, just hypothetical) If Desmo transfered to A&M BR after last season, would you be a BR fan?

I just don't get it. Explain it to me. _

We are far enough away from New Orleans that many have (myself included) few if any ties to New Orleans. In many ways the Saint are like the Cajuns (hopeful our D is better). Alot of the fans have given up and moved on.

When I lived in Chicago there were many Packer fans living there, even though the two teams hated each other. Also; when I visited Milwaukee, there are many Bears fans there. The Bears are closer to Milwaukee than to Green bay.

Ron Guidry made a big Yankees fans out of me and I'm here to tell you I have never been a "Yankees fan".

There are no Panther fans, there are only Jake fans. If Jake was traded to Buffalo, those people would be Bills fans. Jake supports our program here. Therefore people wish for him to do well. To many people, the Cajuns are much more important than the Saints, therein lies the support for Jake.

The analogy of Des going to LSU is poor as he is still in college. We are talking about people after they finish school.

The Yankees could have a roster of Cajun players and I would still hate them.

If a Yankee player gave a donation to Cajun athletics after every home run or a strikeout, or win; I would be his biggest fan.

Me to. I would just hope they lose the game!

What would you do if the donation was contingent upon a win for the Yankees? You would be in a tough spot wouldn't you?

I guess I would have to hope the Red Sox best them by a game.
I still remember the 1978 "playin" game b/t the Red Sox and Yankees. I had been to Fenway that year and being a 10 year old kid, became a huge Red Sox fan. At my school our principal was related to Guidry so we got to watch the game in class. Needless to say my Red Sox shirt was not a big hit. After that game I became fully engrossed in the Red Sox/Yankee rivalry. F*&#@ Bucky Dent!

I am a little unique when it comes to the Red Sox/Yankees. I am not a fan of either one and am happy when both struggle. Go Devil Rays.

The analogy with Desmo was just that, an analogy, players transfer all the time. Which makes it a very valid analogy.

TuffGuy, you're tired of the way the Saints are run but never got tired of the Cajuns? Seriously?

I guess my understanding of being a fan is you are a fan of that team through thick and thin. I'm not going to go be a BR fan because our program is terrible. I guess I've got my Saints blinders on to understand.

Geaux Cajuns, GO Saints!
