Saints meet and greet page

Great idea for a thread to help bring Saints fans on this board together even more than we already are.  It's also a great way for all of us to give each other nothing but 5 star ratings so we help each other advance our status on these boards (great for all the amatuers and rookies especially so that they can attach their own avatars and post threads and stuff).  I need to get mine up a point or two back to SS status and I'll feel better.

For those of you fellow veterans on here who already knew me as RealheavyD from either last season or maybe even from the season before last, I think you probably also know that I was born in Metairie (the official home of the Saints) in 1966 (the same year the Saints were first conceived) and grew into a full grown teenager on the Bestbank in Gretna and around Terrytown before becoming somewhat of a vagabond who has lived in Ohio (near Cleveland), in Indiana (Fort Wayne), in Ohio again (Miami U in Oxford), in Indiana (Fort Drain) again and now in my latest and greatest home away from home of beautiful Tennessee (Chattanooga) from 1983/84 until the present.

I was born into being a Saints fan and would never have wanted it any other way.  I am a die-never fan until the end of days. 

My real name is Derrick (hence the Heavy "D" reference), I've been married 10 years now and have two teenaged step-daughters (one in College and the other one will be a Junior in high school this fall).  I do Risk Management (aka: accident claims) work for one of the top 5 largest trucking companies in the US based right here in Chattanooga.

With all of the cowboy haten did you guys see that sign in the Dallas game 2 years ago that said "Fall of the Romo Empire"  That was my wife holding that up.   It was so awesome.  later that night they showed it on sportscenter too. 

Hey wuts up my name is Ric and im from Los Angeles, been a Saints fan since I got into football at the age of 12 back in 1991. I also used to be a Raider fan at that time until they decided to move back to Oakland in 1995... I have hated the Raiders since that day back in 95 lol... I regularly watch Saints games on sunday at a bar here in LA called the Sports Harbour with many other Saints fans in attendance and the cool thing is most of them are real deal people born and raised in New Orleans! I found this bar about six years ago just by chance while we were waiting for a buddy to get off work and walked in while the Saints were playin the Bucs on Sunday nite football and have been goin there to watch the games whenever there not on regular tv ever since... I consider myself to be about as die hard a Saints fan as there can be. I even drove two hours to Qwallcom Stadium by myself to watch the Saints play San Diego 3 seasons ago cuz all my buddies were too cheap or too broke to join me. I got to sit 18 rows behind the Saints bench on the 40 yard line.Even tho the Saints lost pretty bad that day I had a heck of a good time! Go Saints! 

Damn, I missed the thread! Anyhow, my name is Matt and I have been a Saints fan all of my life. I grew up in Slidell, La. and am now living in Baltimore, MD. talk about a different world!

The earliest memory for me was watching the Saints when Bum was coaching and a fan came down and stole his cowboy hat. I really got into them in jr high. Hebert, Jackson, Dunbar, Swilling, Mills, Heyward, Hill, Hilliard... I live and die with the Saints and am very excited about the upcoming year.

Thanks to all my Saints brothers for posing!

Laze le bon ton roule!!

Wow, I'm late!! My name is "Al". LOL I'm so serious. As my user name suggests, I'm str8 from the N.O., westbank born, N.O. East raised. The Saints were my birthright. I have pics of me at 1-2 years old in a diaper, Saints T, and paperbag! I currently reside in Shreveport La, (or as some call it, "East Texas"). My loves include my Mrs., my daughter, my family, and my Saints. And as much as I love the Saints, on the complete opposite end of that spectrum is how much I hate the Cowboys. Anyone familiar with this area will tell you: this place may as well be a suburb of Dallas. Theres even a Cowboy store in the mall... jeez. Anyway, thats me...holla
