Lots of no calls to go around that game.

But honestly, your team should not have printed and started selling "Nolanta" shirts before the game if you didn't want to tempt karma.

You guys had a great season. Kamara is unstoppable at times.

As much as 28-3 has haunted the back of my mind, I think that even with your Bountygate trophy these last two years have been some hellacious losses to swallow. Even as a rival, I gotta feel for you for having to carry those. One was funny to me. Two in a row is tough. At least you have one ring, as you say. I sure wish we had had one to get me through our miraculous loss.

Here's to a hell of a battle next year!

First of all, our team never printed any "Nolanta" shirts. I haven't even heard of them. Probably some independent fan over one of the order and print sites.

Last year's loss was on a bad play by one of our players. That was far easier to take. This one was a horrendous non-call that would have allowed the Saints to take a knee from the 4 yard line and dead center it for a last second FG to win. This is FAR worse and everyone knows it. Everything all day long today has been about the total fuck up by the NFL.

Still fucking mad ... just like most of the NFL community.

Yeah, fuck the Panties!

I hate them more than any other team.

Yeah, but I remember the year Roddy got clearly hit on 4th down for us in Champ game, and plenty of fans told us to stop whining, even though it cost us SB appearance. Bad calls are a part of the game, and you gotta take it out of the ref's hands.

Hell, I even remember more recently Saints fans telling us to get over this play that cost us a game:


In your case, you still had the ball in overtime, so it wasn't all on the call. It didn't give you the win, but it didn't cause you to lose.

Cheer up. We were there once too. Pretty soon you'll be able to shrug it off like we shrug off our SB debacle. At least in your case, our coach won't be giving your players the "choke" sign next year like Payton did to our players.

I really do like you, friend, but ... last year we blew it. I can live with that. But then a whole season of living my life for the next chance to have it stolen away by the refs. Yes, there was a chance to try to win it again, but the game would have been over, finished, in the bag ... had any of the four officials (all of whom ESPN confirmed today were Los Angeles area residents or from there) looking at the play called any of the penalties committed on the play.

By the way, I never said the hit on Jones was legal.

And, no, I'm not going to cheer up. I am still fucking pissed as HELL!!!

For the first time in over 35 years I am going to miss the damned super bowl. Or should I say the Bogus Bowl.

Fuck it all.

All said, I do like y'all ... or the ones that still show up here ... but I won't get over this easily and there is nothing you can do with the cute memes to make me feel any worse than I already feel and will be feeling for quite some time.

Fuck it all!!

I, along with the vast majority of what we call Who Dat Nation, boycotted the Bogus Bowl today. It is now 10:43 your time Sunday night and I have no idea what the score was. I totally ignored it for the first time in over 35 years. I did get some indication the game totally sucked. Good. I'll move on but I will NEVER get over it.
