_ 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. _

WOW! Cajuns, Saints and Devil Rays. Not a lot of happy moments in the CajunsMike house!. Are you a Memphis Grizzles fan to?

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

1 Difference, I went and graduated from UL, and I didn't do it because the football team was good. With that said, I am forever locked with the school, and through good and bad, I cant just pretend that my diploma is from somewhere else. On the flip side, I have not a single true connection to the New Orleans Saints, or even New Orleans as a city...well aside from the state taxes that I help pay to keep mini-Al Davis happy. With that difference, I can choose not to be around a saints program that is run horribly, and that is exactly what I did.

Does everyone living in Louisiana have to be a Saints fan? Does everyone in Louisiana have to be an LSU fan, a UL fan, etc, etc? I grew up in Louisiana and have been a Cowboys fan as long as I can remember. I no longer root for them above all, because I do not like Terrell Owens. I am now also a Panthers fan because of Jake, but will still root for them after he leaves, because I like their coaching and the way they play football. I follow the Saints as well, but they have never been on the top of my list.

_ 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. _

Here is the deal with the NFL. As soon as the NFL went to free agency so did the fans. Fans find a player that they can identify with and follow that player no matter what team he plays for. For example, I pull for the Broncos, Bears and Panthers because of Jake, Brandon and Peanut. These are guys I know from when I played here during the Stokley/Baldwin transition.

The Panther fans you see on here were Saints fans for decades but when Haslett decided an unhealthy Brooks was better than a healthy Jake and cost the Saints a playoff spot. Then the following year Jake leaves for Carolina and within two years is in the Superbowl and had they won it he would have been MVP of the game, the Saints lost a ton of fans.

The Saints are one of the worst franchises in all of professional sports history, slightly ahead of the Washington Generals. When you pull for the Cajuns and have to deal with so many failures its easy to see why anyone can pull for a NFL team that when they are healthy are at the Top of the NFC.

_ 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. _

can you be more specific re: "Jake supports our program here." ? just curious to know.

Note, I was not really big on the Devil Rays until this year. I just think it would be great for such a small market team to finish ahead of BOTH -Evil Empire (Yankees and Red Sox) franchises.
