The intrigue of the possible roster, it's almost as if I need a fix or something:D. How many of you come here more that at the Saints website even if it is the offseason?:eek:

As much as we talk about homer-ism over here, SR is tenfold as bad. I do visit both daily, though. Love me some New Orleans sports.

I am the same way, though I think once training camp starts that may switch back to SR first.
Homerism on SR is really bad especially with respect to giving other teams or players any credit and treating Brees as infallible, but the overall optimisim is not unrealistic. Saints have truly top tier coaching and management along with an all pro QB. They are a legitimate contender to win the Superbowl this year. Fans that dealt with the Aints of yesteryear believe these Saints can do no wrong, but there are still a lot of posters with great insight and technical knowledge of the game that are fun to engage. -

With the Saints anything less than a Super Bowl appearance is a disappointment this year. With the Pelicans anything less than a playoff appearance is the same.

I can't wait for Saints football to be back, but til then this site will continue to do the trick.
I think homerism on both sites are about equal. You just notice it more there because there is more traffic. You can say there is more homerism here than there is there considering the fact that the Saints are winners and have players that are top 3 in their respected positions, while the Pels only have 1. -
07-22-2014, 12:43 PMDroopyDawgI have been coming here with the offseason football lull but that'll change come Friday once training camp begins.Quote:

I'm more of a football fan than basketball, but as Nola said, I love New Orleans sports! I post a lot on SR than here, but I read just about every thread on PR. I guess I don't reply as much, because I feel like I'm not as knowledgeable as some on here.

The red/green thumb system ruined SR for me. Most people just say the same typical homer crap and recite old inside jokes for green thumbs or they self-censor their own opposing viewpoints.
As easy as it is to say I don't care about the rep thing, it's horribly frustrating to post a thought-out argument only to get lazily "neg-repped" to death instead of getting actual discussion. There's seriously no discussion there anymore. On anything. -

Not sure if Saints report or Falcon Report with the run the falcons get on that site. I get that its our key rival but sheesh. SR is very low on my Saints forum visits

People went on to tell me that the defense was on its way back up, that I was trolling, hell I received a few pm's from people saying that I was not a real Saints fan and not be on that board any more. That thread went 8 pages long and everyone that disagreed with me got multiple green thumbs, and everyone that agreed with me got multiple red thumbs.
So yeah, I can totally understand your frustration.

What is r/nfl?

07-22-2014, 02:45 PMGeauxSaints53The nfl sub-reddit. The discussion's pretty good, not necessarily great but they're usually pretty funny and actually original.Quote:

Everything is "out to get the saints." Believe it or not, Goodell is not the Antichrist. Doesn't mean I particularly like him, but All of Our Problems don't lead back it him lol

07-22-2014, 03:31 PMKibnerHey now, that can still be an accurate description of Goodell even without any ties back to the Saints. :pQuote:
