Saints wearing SB patch tonight only

[ColtsSouljah]

So, the Saints are wearing a 10 year anniversary patch for tonight's game. They have not worn it any other game this season and will not wear it again after tonight. This strikes me as incredibly petty.

For comparison, when the Colts had their 10 year Super Bowl anniversary, they did not celebrate it against the Bears (even though they played the Bears at home that year).

Now, PLEASE, PLEASE, can we not do the "who cares?!" and "If you don't like it, don't lose!" posts. I'm just wondering if you guys think this is as petty as I do.

I have never had anything against the Saints until now. I want them to fail in the playoffs in a big way now. 

[Superman]

I don't think petty is the right way to describe it. I think being mad about it is petty.

 

To me, it's rubbing salt in the wound, which only matters if the wound is still open. For me, it's not. 

[GoColts8818]

They are celebrating the biggest win in franchise history against the team they beat to do it on the 10 anniversary of it.  Nothing petty here.

[PeterBowman]

ehhh no biggie...who on the active roster was on the team for that game?

[IndyD4U]

Petty, really?

 

Come on, Man.

 

We have a participation trophy hanging from the rafters at LOS

Good....let's kick their *.

For several fans, the wounds may still be open but I agree, time has a way of healing those. That is probably their biggest bright spot of their franchise, coming up short several other times in the playoffs and being the laughing stock before Payton and Brees arrived.

 

Let them have their moment, the architects of that SB - Sean Payton and Drew Brees are still there. It definitely means more to them than us fans here. If we displayed SB 41 colors when the Bears visited while Peyton and Dungy were here, it would be the same. But then, we lost the home opener in 2008 to the Bears at home.

I think it's petty

[coltsfan77]

Typical Sean Payton fashion! Personally, I am still salty over the rematch in NO. They wore white at home and colts were the home blues just like the superbowl. Manning was down that year and Payton was in the booth and ran the score up on the colts while eating a hotdog. Really like Brees but never been able to pull for SP! May be petty, well so be it

[horseshoecrabs]

Maybe if they had won more Championships, in their team's history, it wouldn't had mattered, as much.

Agreed. This is a completely different team and staff than back then. Heck, I bet Brees is the only active player on either team left over from that game.

Since you said not to, I won't say who cares even though that perfectly sums up what I think about this.  Instead what I will allow is that on my list of things to worry about and fret over, this is 757,002 on the list.

 

It is no big deal to me.

[pgt_rob]

Some might find it petty. It's been long enough where I don't care anymore. But I do hope we have a little extra juice to beat them tonight. 

[buccolts]

Good thing we didn't play the Jets this year.

[EastStreet]

Sorry, but I'm in the "who cares" bucket. 

I think it's petty to actually care even if it is petty to wear it.

I doubt it made the bulletin board.

[stitches]

who cares... 

[Stephen]

I'm just ready for this year to be over

[midwest]

If we had a great team and they were trying it to get in our heads I would think that was petty.  There is no way they feel they need an advantage so I am in the who cares category.

Doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is their name. I’ve been down here for 3 days, walking around the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. There is nothing Saintly about this place!

I've never been, but yeah,.... that's the rumor.

Would like to have dinner down there, though.

Its the ORIGINAL Vegas.

[Nesjan3]

meh whatever, the Saints have never won anythign except that SB, we had the better team but they played better, wanted it more and IMO we got outcoached. Let them have it

[indyagent17]

I don't think it's a big deal they're just using Showmanship for bulletin board material This is the kind of game that you want me the crap out of them .  that's a very tall order. Who would have thought we'd win in Kansas City?

[coltfaninnewyork]

Payton a smug man who was suspended for having involvement in bounties against opposing players . real class act .

[WoolMagnet]

I heard at halftime they are retiring Hank Baskett’s jersey and putting him in their “Halo of Honor.”

[Mr.Debonair]

Just keep it close man. Hate getting embarrassed on national TV

[King Colt]

All the Colts had to do was win that SB. Add to this Brees could break Manning's careers number of passes tonight.

[Shadow_Creek]

man i hope we put 60 points on that saints i mean the nerve of the-  oh wait never mind Brissett is our QB

Sean Payton mailed him a ring.

Hey Colts fans.....

 

[ArmchairQB]

while it may be petty to be upset about it’s still a classless move.

I'm not upset.  I just think it's petty.

I don't even see a patch.

Yeah. Weird. Honestly I am glad it's not being worn.

Here is where it was reported, among other places (there are even pics of the uniforms with it)

[ColtsSouljah]

Mods, feel free to lock. Not sure what happened as multiple outlets reported the patch and showed pictures but clearly they are not wearing them.

It's a bit bush league, I'm with ya.
