To WE!!! and dwe with the keen car - this is not aimed at you. Unless you are like this, and if you are, well, fuck you.
I lived in Dallas for the super bowl runs of the 90s. I had to look really hard to make sure they were wearing blue and silver instead of crimpsum and white, because the public arrogance and asshole factor were identical.
Dallas fans are without a doubt the bammers of the NFL - especially now that they basically suck again. All you hear about now is how they should/woulda/coulda - living in the past, thinking that everyone else is second tier, they should be a contender every year. It makes them INSANE to think they are mediocre, with not a lot of hope of improving with Romo the Homo as QB and an Arkansas white trash redneck with money as an owner.
New Orleans fans - the real ones, the ones that were A'ints fans, the ones with paper bags on their heads that remember the bad old days and loved their team anyway - THOSE are some damn fun people to watch football with. THOSE are Saints fans. You might have to go to NOLA or Red Stick to find them, but those are the fan base. They roll with the punches, party when they win, party when they lose. They are real folks, no sense of entitlement, and they love their team and love their players as people.
Being a Saints fan is trendy now, post Katrina. I am sure the folks in Mobile are bandwaggoners - throw in the Mark Ingram draft and well, the turds have crossed over. They don't count, and characterizing the whole Saints fan base by including the band wagon is unfair.
And since you can't be a Saints fan and like the Falcons, well, to hell with Atlanta and Julio too.
To talk good of the Saints fans and bad of Dallas fans. There is irony in there somewhere.
I always thought of Cowboys fans as more the Notre Dame or Texas of the NFL. Arrogant, talking about the past, blah blah blah - yes, they do. But a lot of CFB programs do that without the useful idiot redneck army like Bama. I'm not sure there really is a Bama of the NFL in full. Bama is an anomoly.
I went to a Falcons/Cowboys game about 6 years ago at the Dome and I am not even going to get into which fanbase had the trailer trash rednecks. It wasn't even close. The Saints are no better than the Falcons on having fans that are redneck podunk idiots.
And I agree on Jerry Jones. He is his own worst enemy. And an Arkansas redneck. A redneck that just happens to have millions and millions. But a redneck nonetheless. First class prick too.
