A Chick’s Curiosity Kills the Cats
While surfing the internets, I stumbled upon a post tailor-made to give us Saints fans something to talk about (aka mock) during these slow summer days. It was a post entitled “Top 10 Reasons to Hate the Saints” and it was displayed on a Panthers fan website called Cat Crave. My curiosity got the best of me and I took a few minutes to peruse this poorly compiled list of trash talk against my beloved team and city. While the reasons outlined in the post ranged from outrageous to lame, and admittedly at times a little funny, I still couldn’t help but serve up some revenge, Chicks style.
Presenting: The Top Ten Reasons to Hate the Panthers
10. Uniforms! Baby blue and silver? I’m sorry, is that a football jersey or a wizard’s costume?
(Trick question. The answer is actually hidden option 3, the color scheme of a pre-op drag queen’s long sequin coat when he/she takes the stage for his/her big number. Work it sistas!)
9. Your mascot’s name is “Sir Purr.” Not to stick with the gay theme, but c’mon. How gay is that?
8. The “Who Gives a Shit” factor. It’s a sad, sad day when your most recognizable player is a quarterback who’s as old as your coach.
7. Skanky cheerleaders. Who could forget the classic case of the classy TopCats cheerleaders who got accused of bumping beavers in a bathroom stall and beating up a security guard? And we thought those drunken fans with whiskers painted on their faces took their love for pussy too far. Sheesh!
6. Sloppy seconds. First Sam Mills, then Jake Delhomme. Your team is like the dude who goes after the hot chick, only after she’s been banged by the stud from a rival school and dropped like a hot rock.
5. Your cheerleading roster is a virtual “Who’s Who?” of butter-faces. We won’t call out names because that would be mean. But we will provide you with the link to check them out for yourselves. (Paper bag needed to place over their heads for sexual fantasies not included.)
4. You actually started David Carr. Nuff Said. Actually, not nuff said. Allow me to point and laugh at you for a moment…
3. On a list of reasons why your fans hate the Saints, the murder rate in New Orleans shows up. Seriously, you can’t find 10 even mildly football/team related reasons to hate a division rival? But now that you’ve opened the door for attacking a rival team’s city…isn’t it funny that even with the high murder rate and being in recovery mode from a major natural disaster, we still attract more tourists in a year than Charlotte does in a decade? How shocking! I mean, who wouldn’t want to come to Charlotte to check out the er…um, uh…Well, I’m sure you have like a botanical garden or something…right?
2. Only the Panthers could boast a roster with the likes of Julius Peppers, Steve Smith, KeyShawn Johnson, and John Kasay and still not make the playoffs in 2006. You sirs (make that “sirs purrs”) are the masters of suckery.
1. The most memorable thing about your Super Bowl appearance was the .05 seconds when we saw Janet Jackson’s nipple.
(And that my friends, is how you do a top ten.)

Besides, the panthers fans are soccer moms. Seriously, how intimidating can they be? That’s why they had to bring up things like the murder rate, because they don’t know how to talk smack.
Neither do I. But at least I stick to football.
Meow. OOOOOH terrifying.
#1 Reason to hate the Panthers: They are the franchise equivalent of being born with a silver spoon in their ass. (The NFL gave them extra draft choices to assure immediate success).
#2 Reason to hate the Panthers: That success created a fan base of whine and cheeze fans that are the most obnoxious in the league (more so than Dallas who at least endured the true building process).
Two is enough — but if you need a third.
#3 They are consistently considered among the league elite for no other reason than #1 above.
I’m still wondering where da putty-tats got Panthers from–being from Charlotte, shouldn’t they have been da Pigs, and they could have named their stadium Charlotte’s Web.
wow, looks like the cat claws are out! i love the whiney response from pants fans who call our top ten “crude and harsh”. like they say back home, ‘don’t start nuthin, won’t be nuthin!”
@nc saint, your #1 reason is the ultimate #1 reason.
Like anyone really gives a flying fudge what those bunch of pansies thinks.
Carolina, LOL! Yea, you baby blue wearing sissies, we care. Really.
I personally like black on black.
PS: I’ve been away so long, I had trouble remembering my own e-mail address. (Had to type all that in)
NolaChick, I think I love you…… marry me………
thanks for the laughs
Im surprised they even have the balls to take us on.
1, I got asked to sit down at a panthers game. SIT DOWN. Its a freakin outdoor stadium and, oh yeah, by the way, its a FOOTBALL GAME.
2. They also claim that they sell out a lot and have a great attendance at home. Well, they do sell a lot of tickets, but its to the opposing teams fanbase. Geez. But at least by the end of the game most of the panther fans are gone because their team blows at home. (but i guess the panther fans are used to it, cause it seems like most of them spend time on their knees blowing)
One more thing, success is nothing to knock!!!!
I’m from NC…and STILL wouldn’t be caught dead in Panthers attire….that franchise irks the crap out of me. And while we are on the topic, I don’t know a single person (in NC or otherwise) that supports the Panthers….two thumbs down! Cute article Nola Chick!
P.S. Listing the murder rate…are you serious (thats just all kinds of inappropriate!!!! But if you wanna talk murder rates, then what the hell is up with Char., Durham, and Fayetteville, MURDER MUCH, I think so!!! Panthers fans P-U-H-L-E-A-S-E! On a side note, GO CARDS…can’t the NFC just get a long damnit!
JAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEE! the prodigal son has returned!
@ pancakes: nothing irks me more than when football fans treat a game like an opera. why the f would i come to a game to sit down the whole time?! hell, i stand up when i’m watching the game at home!
Awesome list. Give it to ‘em. I despise the Panthers.
LOL for the love of god. You are spending time arguing with a person who lives in a state where the effect of years of incest has caused permanent mental damage. The best brains in Carolina are all from out town. That explains the lack of true football talk in the piece. They had to get personal because the ran out of football related material.
Remember this one thing. Jim Mora made the Panthers. Players and coaches, all saints. I will never forgive Mor-on-head for loving Peters.
uh oh Chick… did ya post da size (or lack thereof) of his pepe?
“The Can of Worms Is Open!
The gloves are off. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Look, I wrote three posts here that pointed out the top ten reasons to hate the teams in our division (Falcons, Buccaneers and Saints). I figured it would be good for entertainment. Shoot, it might even be enough to start a good debate. I didn’t count on this.
Of all the teams’ fans, the last group I expected a bunch of hoo-ha from was the Saints fans. After all, what have they had to cheer about? Well, that’s what I got. Feedback came flying at me. (Just see the comments after the post on the Saints.) Now, some blogger who I surmise to be a foul-mouthed fan has done gone and done it. Must have been a case of drunken blogging.
I had tried to keep my ten reasons from going into the extreme. I didn’t feel the need to abandon a good-natured ribbing. This chick (I think) has crossed a line of good taste. Sure, she displays some wit but still finds little that can be defended about possibly the worst franchise in league history. Let’s break it down.
………..”
http://catcrave.com/2008/06/26/the-can-of-worms-is-open/
Geesh… did this MO-ron think he could insult our Saints and get away unharmed? Who do he think we are? A Bucc-in-fear?
He stood a better chance of getting away unscathed if he’d just insulted our mommas (and I still couldn’t guarantee dat) than our beloved Black & Gold Warriors.
BTW, I think he went to da remedial school where they send da kids that can’t hack it–he wonders why we value GOLD over Silver. Heck, everybody (except da putty-tats it looks like) knows that Gold is a much more precious metal than silver. I wonder if he’ll trade me his Gold bling for my silver?
For a bunch of Saints fans - - living in Louisi-fucking-ana of all places, I assume — you have an interesting notion of North Carolina as some backasswards state.
I think we need some sort of blog-related bet on who wins the matchups this year.
Hey Brison just to let you know I love the state and I really enjoy tail gating with the true panther fans. Always fun. The writer of that piece must be on the boarder of West Virgina thats all. Mountain people who play a lot of banjo. The kind that like to squeal like pigs. Sue-eeeeeeee
@rum: that’s all i’m saying. i mean did they really think we would let them punk us like that? and what’s up with them being so sensitive? “crossed the line of good taste?” have they not seen some of the signs their fans hold up during games? get over it! looks like these kitty cats are crying over spilled milk!
as for you brinson, bring on the bet. “we ain’t never scared!”
I have to say, I love the irony of a fan from a tobacco state somehow seeing fit to look down on the Saints being the product of a “backroom political deal.”
But let’s break it down a bit. Let’s say Pete Rozelle tells Hale Boggs to shove it when he demands a franchise before the merger is approved. The merger doesn’t go through, football in America never comes anywhere near the popularity of basketball, the Jazz stay in New Orleans and North Carolina gets JACK.
So, you uppity fan of a franchise with Arena league uniforms, if it weren’t for backroom political deals, you probably wouldn’t even have a football team.
Besides, the fact that Boggs greased the wheels of the Saints like that then vanished into the Alaska wilderness really only adds to the team’s legend in my eyes. When we finally take the muffin (and a Lombardi is in the mail, trust me) we’ll be the most storied franchise to ever win the Super Bowl. The Panthers, however, will never stop being a team that just annoys the hell out of everyone.
Well, the “logical” thing is to do something like change the colors of the blog or give the winner a post on the other blog or some shit like that.
But that seems reasonably cliche/standy/boring. So I’m game for whatever. And, for the record, I do like the site. It’s on my RSS and blogroll at Mittens now.
Alright! I thought I’d stop by and speak for myself. I’m the banjo-playing, inbred living on the West Virginia state line who wrote the post on Cat Crave. (By the way, North Carolina and West Virginia don’t border one another.)
Here’s the thing, the original post was meant as a good-natured ribbing. That’s all. And all of the talk since has been fun. It really has.
As for a bet - I’m all for it. In fact, I’ll go as far as to invite Nola Chick on my podcast and we can talk a little football fan to fan. I’m starting a division preview this week and I wanted to start with the Saints. I’ll be more than happy to have Nola on the show…provided we keep it clean, of course. The wine and cheese crowd can’t stand four-letter words here in the Bible Belt. LOL!!!
A wager? Well, we can discuss the spoils if you’re game.
Also, I’m predicting a split between the two teams this year.
Let me hear from you!
well hello cat crave. glad we can finally settle this “mano a chick”
how’s the mom/aunt doing? okay, okay, enough of the inbred jokes.
you should know that we’re in no way thin-skinned around these parts. hell, you can’t be when you’re a fan of ANY team in the NFC south. With that said, it would be 100% against my human nature not to respond to even good natured bashing of my team. and despite a few naughty words, i’d like to think i held back in this post.
with that said, i’ll hit you up on your blog about the podcast capabilities. while i can guarantee i won’t drop any four letter words on air, i should warn you i know a few naughty 5-letter ones which are completely non-negotiable.
oh, and i’m always down for a good wager. brinson wants in on it too and i’m sure i can find some fellow saints bloggers who are up for some midseason shenanigans.
(aww…isn’t this nice. chicks and panthers playing nice. anybody else wanna puke?)
I’m taking my Dramamine as I type, Nola Chick! The nausea is too much to take. LOL!!!
The words of the five-letter variety are probably not going to work too well either. We might need to have your people call my people on that one. We’ll just tell everyone that negotiations are ongoing.
As for responding to my original post - no problem. I’m kind of glad to have a blog war going on. These are fun and usually increase traffic. Shoot, it gives us all something to talk about during this boring part of the year anyway.
I’ll be looking for your message. My email is attached to this post (I would imagine) and you can also contact me through the site. By the way, I normally publish the show on Sunday evenings so the schedule to record this could be a little tight. If you would rather wait until next week, that’s no problem.
I look forward to hearing from you!
And…Go Panthers! LOL!!!
I don’t want to puke, but I like the idea of a wager. Might even be willing to capitalize some of it (that means put up some of the money to fund it, for you West Virginia types who DON’T border North Carolina, but do play the banjo and might not know the word) if needed.
i’m typically tight with money but quite the loose one when it comes to humiliating my foes. i say we start pitching in ideas on how to cause shame in panther nation after the saints “tap that” TWICE this season
Why is it that whenever I visit da putty-tat site or the week we play carolina, I start jonesin’ for Warner Bros cartoons.
I think one year, everybody should wear St. Tweety outfits and when they intro da putty-tats, everybody in the stand can point and yell in unison, “I thought I thaw a putty-tat…. I did! I did!”
But who they really remind me of was the toothless ole mountain lion that used to try and catch Bugs and Road Runner on occasion and try to roast them in his oven. His voice brayed like a donkey.
He was broke down like a Fclown, and almost as smart. HEheHEheHEhe…
gawd, I’m gonna have to dig out my WB cartoons dish tonight.
Best I could do at the moment. The putty-tat’s mascot, Sir Purrs.

well chick, we could have them wear gold jorts and black Saints Tees to their home game w/da Saints.
then again, a chitload of some good NC pulled pork is good–only good thing to come outta NC since they stole it from da Cherokees.
Sorry for da triple post, just realized that if we make dem wear da gold jorts and black Saints Tee–we will have made a new #1 for hating da Saints.
hehehehehehehehehe
i also like the idea of making them wear my pink and white reggie bush jersey…and the gold pants. nothing says “sir purr” like a man in pink!
ROFLMAO!!!!!
You go girl!!!
Then again, what would be an insult to a Louisiana Man, might just be an improvement to a putty-tat’s wardrobe.
Have them post pix on their website wearing da pink & gold, plus send you pix to post on yours.
And nope, I didn’t mean da pink & white RB jersey would insult Louisiana Men–just putting dem in pink.
love it! and i say we make THEM hold the “putty tat” signs with the slogan you mention on SR…
Gawd… I think the country song Wanted Man just became my new mantra in da carolinas, even tho, Desperadeaux (yup there’s a story there.. hehehehe…) has been an alias for years.. lol
chick, I got tears running down my cheeks laffin’….
BTW, Winn-Dixie’s got Drew Dat Tees for $4, and clearing out other Saints & Hornets caps & Tees.
Hey chick, I dared da TimeBandits from Deadliest Catch to wear da Black and Gold for one season.
Think they’ll do it?
luv ya,
Rum
the best part is
” 6. Sloppy seconds. First Sam Mills, then Jake Delhomme. Your team is like the dude who goes after the hot chick, only after she’s been banged by the stud from a rival school and dropped like a hot rock. ”
OK IF WE GOT SLOPPY SECONDS THAN why where THEY BETTER HERE THAN THERE
ANSWER= THE STUD WAS A DUDE or he couldn’t get it up to start with
a) both were actually quite talented with the Saints . Check your stat sheet. we just let them go.
b) did it really take you a whole week to come up with this? I mean seriously…did you go to jack’s joke shop and snag a book on “catchy comebacks”? silly kitties…
I’m not even going to touch some of the other ones (they’re too childish to waste time on them), but I think the most hilarious of all of these is #1. I guess the record-breaking 85-yard touchdown pass to Moose wasn’t that memorable. Or DeShaun’s leap into the end zone to cap off a 33-yard touchdown run. Or Ricky Proehl making another clutch touchdown catch in the Super Bowl to tie the game at 29. We may have fallen short in that game, but anyone who thinks the most memorable moment of Super Bowl XXXVIII was the wardrobe malfunction apparently didn’t care about the game itself.
And to think I stopped hating the Saints a few years ago. This is the kind of stuff I would expect (and have seen) from Bucs fans.
Aww, don’t start hating the Saints on MY account. At least wait until after we sweep you later this year.
hey nola we like to invite ya to our board at panthercoalition we have a forum for smack talking. long as its in clean fun
good clean fun? bor-ing!
still, smack talk is smack talk.
expect a visit from the head chick in charge very soon…
the smack forum is called the cage. come on by soon. I use to have a neighbor who was a saints fan. we used to talk smack to each other.
Okay! Back to tell you all that NolaChick was a blast to have on the show this week. It’ll be posted on Sunday night, BTW.
As for this wager. I’ve been reading up over here and really like the idea of the loser having to post pics of themselves on their blog wearing something from the rival. But, I’m not really sold on the idea of wearing a pink Reggie Bush jersey! LOL!!!
Keep the ideas coming. I’m just taking it all in. This is too much…oh, yeah, one more thing…a Panthers sweep is gonna be served up in ‘08!!
aren’t saints fans so fun to smack talk with? it’s amazing all the clever things we can come up with, whether we’re 8-0 or 0-8…
and i must say cat crave, i enjoyed taking a tour of enemy territory. although, i probably misrepresented a little bit. i mainly only loathe the panthers on game day vs the saints. the falcons on the other hand…i abhor them 365..
come on over saints to the best panthers board. nola our mod thought of you. he made a topic just for you
we have forums for all different topics including smack talk.
[...] we chicks “talk the talk” in more ways than one! The blog war that started between CITH and Cat Crave, a Panthers website, has spilled on to the airwaves. I was recently invited to [...]
Top Ten Reasons to Hate the Saints !!!!!!
This leads us to the third installment dedicated to the New Orleans Saints, and, yes, we can think of ten reasons to hate them too.
The countdown begins after the jump.
10. Uniforms! What are those black on black things you’ve been wearing? I swear, you guys look like some third-rate college team or, even worse, a high school team. We understand that it’s not something you wear all the time but please stop!
9. Who can love a team that is that bad? Really! In your history, you have a winning record against only one NFL franchise - another team on our hateration list, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints have no better than a .500 record against every other team in the league. Man, can you suck anymore than that?
8. Thanks! Yeah, right! You gave us a man who we can forever leave off our Christmas card list - Archie Manning. Yup, it’s two guys who sprang from his loins who have been there staring at us, mocking us, killing us during every single commercial break. And not only during the NFL season but even during the offseason. We never get a break from seeing Eli and Peyton in like 80% of the ads on TV. It’s killing us! Please make it stop!!
7. You really thought you had something, didn’t you? Oh, yeah, ya’ thought those Texans screwed up and let Reggie Bush fall to you, huh? Not so fast! He’s become the poster child for overrated. Talk about a guy not living up to the hype. Try this on for size - he has a 40.9 yards/game average. Ouch! The overrated-ness doesn’t stop there. His paltry 3.7 yards/carry average also looks nothing like a guy who should be drafted number two overall. Forget that. He shouldn’t have been drafted in the first round.
6. And we thought Atlanta was bad! Check this out - the city of New Orleans ranks third in the US in murder. Man, I’m not so sure I’m coming to Mardi Gras next year. Thanks but no thanks! You should consider a new slogan. Something like, “New Orleans, come for the party. Leave in a body bag! Think of it as a party favor!”
5. Um, was that Mike Ditka, one of the most respected coaches of the last 30 years, that you drove to the point of wearing a wedding dress? Oh, wait! That was your prized running back in the dress (the other, uh, hem, franchise running back the team thought they had) and the coach in the tuxedo. And the headline on that magazine cover “For Better or Worse?” Yeah. Seems that it was mostly worse.
4. Speaking of Ditka, you guys have a habit of turning good coaches, even great coaches into a laughing stock. You made Ditka a loser (128-68 in Chicago; 15-33 in New Orleans). You turned Bum Phillips into a loser (59-38 in Houston; 27-42 in New Orleans). And you took a Hall of Fame coach in Hank Stram and turned his life upside down (124-76-10 in Kansas City; 7-21 in New Orleans). Could it be something in the water?
3. You did mistreat our quarterback. Jake Delhomme never had a chance in New Orleans. We’ve written about it already so we won’t belabor the point.
2. More on coaches. Who can love a team with only one winning coach in its history? Sean Payton better be careful. His 17-15 record is awfully precarious. One false move and he’ll be in the same boat with every Saints’ coach who came before him.
1. Not everyone knows this. If they did, they would probably hate the Saints too - the team came into existence because of a deal with Congress! Yeah! Like Congress can provide us with great entertainment! I’m sure they know something about football too, right? Apparently not.
How laughable! Let me count the ways! I’ll just touch on a few items.
1) Sam Mills comes to Carolina. The Panthers make it to the NFCCG in year 2 of existence.
2) Jake Delhomme comes to Carolina. The Panthers make it to the SB the same year.
3) The Saints draft Reggie Bush and pay out the ying yang for him. He’s done what????
4) The Panthers started David Carr for a few games. How many YEARS did the Saints start Aaron Brooks?
5) How many seasons did the Saints start off great and choke down the stretch? I can’t count that high but let’s just say you weren’t called the Aints for no reason.
6) Black on Black…sounds like a funeral to me.
7) You might want to rethink the tourist thing. Charlotte is becoming one of the most well known cities for corporat conventions and sports tournaments from tennis to golf to football to college basketball. Our tourists may not stay drunk and party in the streets but they bring in millions of dollars to our economy and really, that what it’s all about anyway.
I really could go on, chickie, but I don’t want to make too big a fool out of you. If you care to continue this, you can always find me at
http://www.panthercoalition.com/index.php
Look for me in the Cage of Rage! As one “chick” to another, I look forward to it.
damn…you cats are still on this? must have touched a nerve!
so i guess reggie bush coming to n.o. and helping the Saints make it to the nfc championship equals “ying yang” nowadays…nice.
and go check your stat sheet ‘chickie’..a.b. was actually one of the top rated qbs in the league during his first few years with the saints.
as for choking down the stretch…well, we all know what they say about people in glass houses.. (or litter boxes in your case)
lets see, what else…oh yeah. the whole tourism thing. who cares how “up and coming” you are? give me a ring when you join the “big boys” who’ve been in this tourism game for DECADES.
i really could go on too…but i’ll save my energy for fans of teams that actually pose a threat.
althought i must say, i like your fiesty feline nature.
something tells me our paths will cross very soon
Little late in the game here, but I’m sure you site and all five readers will appreciate the action.
This list is funny in places, but wreaks of fail the rest of the time.
10. That’s not baby blue, it’s electric blue. You’re a girl, we expect you to know and notice these things.
9. Sir Purr is.. yeah, you got us there.
8. running out of creative juices I see. You don’t think Smith or JP are as recognizable as Jake or were you talking about Vinny T?
7. Skanky cheerleaders… and who is the most famous of Saints fans?
6. lawl @ sloppy seconds. That would work if after those guys went to Carolina they didn’t play well. That’s not the case. AB to the Raiders IS sloppy seconds though. Jake and Same to Carolina was like stealing the prom queen.. only more um.. macho?
5. I can’t believe a blogger chick went there. This is like a dude commenting on how he wouldn’t “hit it” due to sharp knees/etc. Nice one internets funnyperson. I’m sure you’re way prettier and in better shape than most of the TopCats.
4. Yeahhh… we ah, we did actually start David Carr. He started because Jake was hurt. By the way, you guys started AB for how long? Don’t make excuses or try and state how he was good. He was boom and bust, more bust than boom. (and we know that when we see it. Hello DeShaun Foster!). And yeah, we /did/ in fact start David Carr.. thanks for the reminder!
3. Non football related griping about non football related griping.. You should have just done a list of 9. (or 8, see above).
2. Fair enough to point out 06, 2 bad losses near the end of the season when Jake was sidelined with injury. We faired pretty well against NO that season if I remember correctly. In the Saints entire history, how many playoff games have they won and how many Championship appearances have they made?
1. I know you’d like to think that game wasn’t more memorable than the nipple shot. That was a game for the ages, lost with 4 seconds to go on the clock. It was a tremendous season though, one you haven’t experienced yet as a Saints fan.
Anyways, make a shorter list next time, maybe you can deliver then
talk to yas later.
oh noes, don’t go grammar police on me! dorked up a your (you) and Sam (Same)! Might be another one in there.
let us know when was the last time the saints won the big one. they been around a lot longer.
hey nolachick…not enough balls to join me on my turf? How many years have the Saints been a team? You have less to show for it then the Panthers in their very short history. God, you guys traded away an entire draft for friggin’ RICKY WILLIAMS…. talk about people in glass houses! LOL
You keep trying to compare apples to oranges (if you actually know what that means). Once again, How many years have the Saints existed? If you don’t know your team’s history, please refer to Wikepedia. Personally, I like the following tidbit:
The Saints were founded in 1967, as an expansion team. They went more than a decade before they managed to finish a season with a .500 record and two decades before having a winning season. The team’s first successful years were from 1987-1992, when the team made the playoffs four times and had winning records in the non-playoff seasons.”
The Panthers played their first game in 1995 and ended with a 7-9 record. In 1996, we won the NFC WEST (where we began) and went to the NFCCG.
In over 40 years of existence, you can barely come close to our accomplishments in 13 years! You know it, I know it, the NFL knows it. Nice try.
As for the tourism…give me the rich bankers over the Bourbon St drunks anyday. But nice try there, too.
Again, hoping you’ll meet us on our turf. Try it…you might find that you like it.
sweet carol, unlike the tranny cheerleaders on your topcats squad, i can assure you that you’re correct in assuming there are no balls under this chick’s skirt. i find it laughable that you think intimidation has kept me from your site and it’s even more adorable that you’re so taken by me that you can’t wait even a few hours for me to stop by. (is this what they mean by a girl crush?) and allow me to reiterate that the nfl HANDED you extra draft picks and a solid roster of players at the inception of your team. you didn’t build anything from the ground up. you were born with the nfl equivalent of a silver spoon. feel free to wave that flag high if you’d like. to each his own…
and yes, please take your rich bankers. i love my bourbon street drunks, also known as the hollywood celebrities, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, etc. who frequent the city annually for conventions, events, and to simply soak in its rich culture. their money is green and they’re loads of fun…so keep em coming!! oh..and it’s always nice to be one gamy shy of the record for hosting the super bowl. how many has nc hosted again???
now please simmer down..i’ll be on your little site soon enough.
@weaponx: my five readers and i took a vote and concluded that with the exception of # 6, your “witty” and (at times grammatically incorrect) retort was pretty much a waste of blog space. but good to see i can add you to my growing fan club of kitty cats!
I won’t adress your earlier absurdity so I’ll get right to the point.
1) Maybe we were handed something in the beginning, but so are all expansion teams now. The difference is that we were smart enough to use it properly.
2) You’ve been around since ‘67 and still can’t get it right.
3) We’d love to host a SB and have applied to the NFL. Unfortunately, we have an outdoor stadium and the NFL considers this a cold climate. Until the NFL changes it’s rules about the SB only being in domes or warm weather cities, we will have to do without as will other cold weather cities with outdoor stadiums. But nothing says football like an outdoor stadium in the winter so you can keep your dome. I’ll take Bank of America Stadium and Charlotte, NC any day of the week. Charlotte’s the place people want to live. NOLA is simply a place to visit to get away from the real world for a few days.
lol! spoken like a girl who’s only been to nola to flash her tatas for beads.
and i think the pants shouldn’t consider themselves ‘getting it right’ until they’ve…oh i don’t know…actually won a super bowl ring. but nice try honey!
still the saints have not won a superbowl ring either they been around a lot longer
oh I forgot the saints have never been to the superbowl. they always watch them on tv
Nolachick,
Only a couple of my list items were supposed to be funny, the rest was intended to be thought provoking . My apologies for any distress it may have caused.
weaponx: it’s the rest “were”…not the rest “was.” I’m hoping this provokes you to think about your grammar a little more before trying to lay the smack down.
so sad! lmao!!!!
@ saltnpeppers: i say until either team gets a ring…they’re just about even. besides….i’m definitely more interested in what happens this year. check out my homeboy’s breakdown. i’d like to think of it as a crystal ball into the panthers’ future!

I’d just like to say that a Saints fan talking smack about any other franchise is laughable…at best.
Saints have been around since 1967 and have what, 3 seasons worth mentioning?
ZERO SB Championships
ZERO Conference Championship
A Franchise LOSING percentage a .591
Only 6 seasons (out of 30) in the post season
2 winning seasons out of the last 15
You really think you should have anything to say to anyone else? Perhaps you should talk to go the teams with lower winning percentages than the Aints…all THREE of them and no, the Panthers aren’t among them.
We can compare the Panthers 6 franchise post season wins to the Saints 2, if you like?
How about the Panthers holding the edge in head to head games? 14-12
I also find it humorous that you critisize someone’s grammar right before failing to capitalize most of the appropriate letters in your little diatribe.
Pot…meet Kettle.
and i find it downright ‘cry my eyes out,’ hilarious that in your effort to “critisize” me, you misspelled “criticize.” wtf!!
as for your other points…boring, been there done that. (a reminder that the Panthers also lack a sb championship, so probably not something you want to rub in anyone’s face.) bottom line is that your team has a short, spoiled little rich kid history. you haven’t done anything in the past that would make you worthy of any kind of legendary status, and i’ll be the first to admit that neither have the saints. so are saints fans in a position to defend themselves against a team with a fairly comparable degree of mediocrity in recent history? hell yeah! get real you silly kitties!
Well, looks like this one is nearly over. Chickko can’t even defend her mostly unfunny list or her team with anything greater than grammar police antics.
A summary of reasons you probably really hate the Panthers.
Carolina leads the all time series.
Carolina has a Conference championship.
Carolina has appeared in more conference championship games.
I’m sure these truths wound your inner child.
Oh don’t worry. Just knowing that I’ve not only gotten under your skin but that you’ve exerted so much energy in an effort to refute my “unfunny” list is all the comfort I need…
(And don’t worry, I wouldn’t expect a Carolinian to understand the importance of respecting the rules of the English language.)
Tootles!
There’s a difference is not winning the Super Bowl in 13 years of existence and not playing in one during your entire franchise’s pitiful history.
I doubt it has any impact on her inner child, the denial obviously runs deep…as it does with most Aints fans.
Your flash in the pan that was 2006 is over, you may now seep back into the depths of the NFL gutter where you’ve spent the vast majority of your time.
While I realize that you may believe that my awesome retorts require an inordinate amount of energy, that is not the case.
ohhh….so now who’s making excuses? “we’ve only had 13 years to win a ring” (despite the nfl’s best efforts to buy us one.) “how could we possibly have accomplished such a feat? boo hoo!” your lameness is truly the cherry on top of my sundae! sorry dude…but no ring=no ring. i don’t make the rules!
and to weapon guy: a) i congratulate you on getting out back-to-back error free retorts. (looks like my grammar lessons are paying off!) b) admit it…you put just a teeny bit of energy into spell-checking “inordinate.” (don’t worry, nola chick won’t tell!) now admit it fellas…you’re crushing on me just a little bit, huh?
NFL’s best effort to buy us one?
WTF? You mean the Super Bowl we lost in the last couple seconds while the Pats were cheating? Seems you’re confused, must me something in the crawfish.
2004 report shows NC as the 25th ranked state school system in the US compared to Louisianna at 46. Just because you didn’t learn to spell 4 syllable words until you 3rd freshmen year you shouldn’t assume we weren’t WAY ahead in the little things…such as education.
Point remains that the Panthers have accomplished more with far less opportunities. To date you’re the 4th worst team in the NFL since the league started.
Please, continue to talk smack, it’s entertaining.
omg!! You’ve not only resorted to looking up school system rankings but you misspelled Louisiana in your attempt to prove that people from NC are “smarter”! It’s like you’re just spoon feeding me excuses to call you dumb.. lol!!
As for the buying thing, I think we’ve gone through this enough times, short bus. Refer to the previous posts!
And don’t worry, the real entertainment will be when we post these responses in the Saints forums. They’re always in the mood for a good laugh!
An occassional typo is a bit different that your chronic inability comprehend simple truths, further exasperated by your highly hypocritical practice of critiquing other people’s grammar short comings, given your penchant for not capitalizing appropriate letters.
None of this surprises me seeing as you pick what you want from various posts and can’t seem to grasp the rather elementary points that have not only been brought up, but proven statistically.
No doubt you’re enjoy your blogs limited time in the sun, if you act fast maybe you can get some ad revenue pooring in. With the abundance of crime in your area I’m sure you could land a trial attorney or two, strike while the iron is hot- you’re soon to be irrelevant again.
well, i find a stark difference between writing informally versus simply not knowing how to spell or proper grammar. but we can agree to disagree on that. besides, i just love knowing that from here on out, you’re spell checking everything in a Word document before you post it. i mean it truly gives me a giggle down to my very core.
and i wouldn’t say anything’s been proven statistically by any stretch of any sane person’s imagination. if anything, you’ve proven that these teams are a lot closer in terms of feats accomplished than some may have realized. was that your intent? if so, kudos!
yeah yeah, i’m poor, and i may get shot, or go to jail cause i live in new orleans….blah blah blah. typical fall back when you’ve been proven intellectually inferior.
as for my blog’s irrelevance….time will only tell i guess. but one thing’s for certain; i’ve sure got you cats under my spell!
sleep easy kitty…gotta go sling my crack!
Nolachick: You sell crack too? Fantastic. My kids’ dealer left our corner after the storm and we haven’t been able to find quality rocks since then. You mind turning lakeside on Canal Blvd. and heading out to the lake? You’ll find us amidst the flooded-out houses, squatting in an abandoned FEMA trailer, trying to get our highs on excessive levels of formaldehyde. (Oh, and if you want to make some extra change, we’re also looking for an English tutor for our uneducated, Louisiana born children. They’re not the smartest kids on the block, but they likes them some crack.)
I don’t need to check anything on Word. I find it strange that you find it nearly inconceivable for someone to have a well rounded vocabulary and know how to spell. Has living in Louisiana driven your expectations that low?
I hold a degree in business, write for a local paper and dable in several other ventures, while I’ll admit to using the spell check on occassion, such a blog doesn’t warrant such measures.
You have a long way to go to get under my skin, but you can think whatever you want.
you spelled “dabble” wrong..
trust me…use the spell check! lmao!!!
To go back to your earlier post NC, it’s “grammatical shortcomings.”
A business degree. Wow, that must have been tough on you. Sitting down to do fake expense reports between keg stands.
“Bro, you don’t even know, dude! I’ve got this awesome internship lined up with a consulting firm, and I don’t even have to worry cause I can still get money from dad’s auto dealership. So tight bro. So tight.”
Is that the right neighborhood? Also, writing with as many complicated words as you can dredge up from the last Dan Brown “novel” you read doesn’t make you look intelligent. In the blogging world, it just makes you look desperate.
One more thing: Dabbling in several other ventures? You sell Shaklee vitamins don’t you? It’s a scam, brother. A pyramid scheme. Call your relatives, apologize for pushing all that crap on them, and get out while you can. At least Nola doesn’t have to lie to herself about the crack dealing.
The only good thing I’ve ever experienced in NC was a Who’s Bad show and meals at Time Out.
And I have to reiterate my previous contention, good sir, that the Panthers’ uniforms are unduly reminiscent of the Arena Football League. Your fans are all soccer moms, because real sports fans in your state care about the Tar Heels or Duke, and little else.
So… Whadya think, Saints fans? Does this guy still live with his mother? I think yeah, and she probably gets more ass than him too.
you can’t see me monty, but believe me when I say I’m gingerly rising to my feet and giving you a “slow clap.”
