LeBron James Buzzer Beater

LeBron James Buzzer Beater

What else can you say about LeBron James, he just continues to show the World he is surely the best player on the court night in and night out! You hate to always immediately draw comparisons to the great Micheal Jordan but LeBrons James buzzer beater last night was remarkable... Who didn't know King James wasn't going to get the last shot, everyone did, but despite that he gets the ball and gets a layup A LAYUP!!!!! Honestly it was Air Jordan-est...

All the talk about the Pacers having their big man on the bench just doesn't matter, he would have just pulled up for a jump shot at the free throw elbow and had the same results, GAME OVER! The man is just a beast and by far the best player currently playing in the NBA, PERIOD... All you haters lets stop hating and start realizing we really are all witnessing greatness. Greatness along the lines of Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robinson, Micheal Jordan like greatness... Greatness that may not come along for another thirty or fifty years, this guys is really amazing. His size, speed, strength, passing ability and scoring is second to none, not to mention his defensive game. You can't stop him! LeBron James buzzer beater almost seemed inevitable...

LeBron James Buzzer Beater!

Comparisons to Micheal Jordan right now yeah I get it as a matter of fact, and I can't believe I'm about to write this, if he's able to get five or more NBA Championships we maybe looking at the player that will take MJ out!!!! Call me crazy if you want but we will see... Leave your comments below tell I'm way off base if you really believe that... You all watched LeBron James buzzer beater and how easy he made it look, it was like he was sending a message to the Pacers to shut out! I think they got it loud and clear...

LeBron James Buzzer Beater Made Easy!

The Indiana Pacers did everything they needed to to win game 1 and they still fell short, what more can they do to get pass the Miami Heat? If LeBron James buzzer beater didn't take their spirit the lost was certainly a big pill to swallow...

Brian Urlacher Retires

Brian Urlacher Retires

If Chicago Bears fans were surprised when their beloved middle linebacker was let go then they must be stunned by the news that Brian Urlacher retires and will not play for another team... For thirteen years the monsters of the midway had a rock in the middle in Brian and he never let his team or fans down. Its unfortunate injuries were the only thing that could sideline the perennial All-Star which not only slowed him down but ultimately lead to his retirement.

Brian Urlacher Retires!

The Bears have a history of great middle linebackers, Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary were the shoes Brian had to fill and fill them is exactly what he did. Brian Urlacher retires with an outstanding resume for a team with a proud tradition of defense at the middle linebacker position. He will most certainly be part of the NFL Hall of Fame and deservedly so! Whether you were a fan of the Bears or not you had to respect the play and passion he brought to the field night in and night out, his community involvement was also a huge part of his success and he will be missed.

Brian was a real leader on the field and in the locker room... You may try to replace him on the field but his leadership qualities will be much more difficult to do. Leaders like Brian don't come along very often and whoever the next guy to step into the middle of the Bears field will truly have a huge burden to bare. Brian Urlacher retires as one of only four players with fourty (40) sacks and twenty (20) interceptions the other; Ray Lewis, Seth Joyner and Wilber Marshall.

Future Hall of Fame Inductee!

  Brian Urlacher Retires A Chicago Bear!

How will you remember Urlacher? There were so many great moments we all witnessed during his storied career and I for one will miss his tenacity, even against my Team... I've always believed to be the best you've gotta go through the best, Brian Urlacher retires as one of the best that ever played the game! Leave your comments below, tell us what you think about his retirement announcement we'd love to read them!

Kevin Durant Thunder Missing Lightning

Kevin Durant Thunder Missing Lightning

Batman and Robin, The Long Ranger and Tonto, Shaq and Kobe, Magic and Kareem all successful duo's we know and love and worked extremely well together. OKC's Kevin Durant the "Thunder" is really missing Russell Westbrook's "Lightning" energy and athleticism on the court against the Memphis Grizzlies. Durant has played nearly every minute of each game since Westbrook went down with the injury he receive against the Houston Rockets. Kevin Durant's Thunder is missing lightning and it may spell the end of OKC's season.

"Lightning" Missing In Action!

What makes the NBA Playoff's so exciting is the drama that unfolds during all the games, no one is healthy but they all fight through it and that's what separates Playoff teams from the ultimate Champion. Kevin Durant thunder missing lightning is no different then the Los Angeles Lakers loosing Kobe Bryant right before the Playoff's began and expecting them to win, not gonna happen!!! Durant has been playing his heart out and quite frankly has not gotten much help from the supporting case of characters... Not to take anything away from the Grizzlies but without Westbrook on the floor its put to much pressure on KD to carry the team.

KD Dropping Thunder!

Kevin Durant Thunder Missing Lightning, Final Thoughts!

In a League were NBA Teams are now stacking the decks with two or three super star players the young OKC Thunder have two go to guys, one is surely thunder and the other his lightning. Its unfortunate Westbrooks injury happened so late in the season but shit happens... Kevin Durant thunder missing lightning has been tough for both Westbrook and Durant and the way the Grizzlies are playing OKC's Thunder will have to become Super Men!

We hope you will continue to support What A Fan. Don't miss the upcoming Sports Fan Conference in Orlando Florida Labor Day Weekend 2013.  

Tiger Wins Again

Tiger Wins Again!

Tiger Woods has done it again. The great Al Davis former Owner of the Oakland Raiders could often be heard saying, "just win baby" and that is exactly what Tiger continues to do! The Players Championship is his latest conquest, holding off Sergio Garcia who seemed to have a melt down on the 17th hole. The island hole is one of the most recognizable signature holes on the PGA Tour and the pressure of going head to head with the worlds number one golfer was just too much for Sergio... After putting two in the drink Sergio could not recover and Tiger Wins Again!

Tiger Wins Again!

These two have a history of bad blood and Tiger seems to always come out on top when it counts, for some reason Sergio caves to the pressure every time... For anyone watching the tournament you had to question the second shot, why not play from the drop zone and try to recover on the eighteenth? To play from the tee box drain another and then implode on the eighteenth was hard to watch. It's great theater for the fans and we all know how much fans love drama, but it had to suck for Sergio. The media certainly loves the drama as well and the PGA relishing in the fact their Golden Tiger Wins Again!

Tiger wins again is not something many people expect to ever hear again, if you've listened to all the prognosticators Tiger was done! Well in the words of NFL Greats, this is why they play the games! Tiger Woods has shut the mouths of his critics and given notice that the Tiger is still the King of the jungle! Love him or hate him you have to respect his talent to play the game of golf... It seems like his life on and off the course have recover in a big way, winning four of his last seven tournaments and dating American Down Hill Super Star Lindsey Vonn.

Tiger Wins Again, In Every Way!

Worlds best golfer, rich, beautiful well known girlfriend, and global popularity it doesn't get much better for Tiger Woods. The only thing Americans like more then drama filled melt downs is watching our celebrity super stars rebuild themselves, win and pull us back in to their world, Tiger Wins Again!

Fans Crossing The Line

Fans Crossing The Line

The internet is buzzing today about the Miami Heat fan that gave Chicago Bulls Center Joakim Noah the finger as he was leaving the court after being ejected in the second half of the game. What A Fan was disturbed by this behavior, we are all about celebrating fans but when fans cross the line we all must take a stand! This behavior effects the perception of all fans, its situations like this players and media jump on and claim its actions like that that give athletes a reason to be unapproachable!

Not A Good Look for Sports Fans!

Fans crossing the line doesn't happen very often but when it does its well publicized and that's the problem. Fans do more in their communities then the teams and athletes they love to cheer for but you rarely see that in the media... But one crazy over exuberant Heat fan with an obviously limited vocabulary gives a disrespectful gesture at a Professional Athlete on his job becomes topic of conversation... Does she or any fan have the right to express themselves in that way? Please leave your answer below!!!

I say hell no! How would you like someone coming to your job and you get kick out of a meeting and some asshole is standing there giving you the finger??? What would you want to do to that idiot? Rude is rude and there are so many other ways of expressing your disdain for them or their actions on the court. Cmon people we are better then this! That type of behavior is a reflection of the team and its fans like it or not! I hope the fans standing next to her said something to her but i doubt it... I wonder what her reception will be like the next home game, fans crossing the line should never be tolerated...

Fans Crossing The Line, Unacceptable! 

What A Fan is 100% supportive of fans and their right of expression, including this crazy woman, we don't always agree with the actions of all fans but we'll always speak out truthfully...

We really hope you'll comment of this blog, we'd be very interested in reading your comments!   

Chicago Bulls "Mission Impossible"

Chicago Bulls "Mission Impossible"

The Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls shocked the world with a game one win over the series favorite Miami Heat. The Bulls, who have played the Heat great all season, went in to Miami and sent a message. We will not go away quietly! Chicago Bulls "Mission Impossible" of beating the Heat four out of seven games is surely an uphill battle but after watching the Bulls over the last several weeks can you really count them out?

Bulls MVP Derrick Rose

The Chicago Bulls fans have had the thrill of watching their secret weapon Tiny Nate Robinson playing some of the best basketball of his career and it got us thinking, how good could the Bulls have been this season if Derrick Rose was on the court??? The Heat have no answer for Rose and the Bulls have no answer for LeBron so the supporting cast of both teams would have to carry their load and that's what the Bulls has done all year! Chicago Bulls Mission Impossible? I don't think so! The achilles heel of the Miami Heat is the match-up problems in the paint and the Bulls Bigs live there!

Tiny Nate Robinson, Baller!

This series make ultimately be won by the Heat and quite honestly won't that be expected? The real story here is the Bulls ability to continue winning with all the injuries to key star players and bring a competitive winning attitude night in and night out... Don't forget how bad the Bulls have been depleted by injuries yet their in the second round of the NBA Playoff's and won game one... Chicago Bulls "Mission Impossible" may not be such an impossible mission after all...!

Chicago Bulls "Mission Impossible," Not So Impossible!

Regardless of what happens between the Chicago Bulls and the Defending NBA Champions Miami Heat the fans of Chicago have a ton to be excited about next season. A healthy Derrick Rose, an experienced group of roll players that have now earned their strips, a coach that clearly has his team clicking on all cylinders and nothing but love from the City of Chicago! Yeah it maybe the Chicago Bulls Mission Impossible winning the series against the Miami Heat but the pressure not rest squarely on the shoulders of the defending Champs!

Woman In Sports

Woman In Sports

Sports fans all over the world were once predominantly represented by men, today you will find just as many woman in sports. Woman have entered the world of sports in a variety of ways and in great numbers, where men once dominated woman have kicked the door in and proven they not only belong but they are here to stay and they can excel...

Not Just A Pretty Face!

We see woman in sports rolls that we never thought were possible, Owners of sports organizations, General Managers, media anchors and field reporters, referees and race car drivers. We see a major increase in female sports fans of all sports genres across the board and it continues to grow. How awesome is it that the stereotype of a woman in the kitchen is a thing of the past, that woman are not only playing sports but shaping its future as well.

Pam Gardner Baseball Hall of Fame!

Woman in sports now play major rolls, make significant contributions and represent a major segment of its financial growth. American sports fans are not just boys and men anymore, they are woman and girls boys and men of all races and economic backgrounds. Whether they're involved with major decisions shaping an organizations future, reporting the stories and events surrounding sports or cheering in the stands woman in sports have and continue to be a major part of the sports world...

Woman In Sports, Here To Stay!

Woman in sports are not just eye candy anymore. The days of the pretty face perfect body cheerleaders on the sideline is just a small part of their many contributions.

Oh Thank Heavens For Little Girls!

Sports Fans Coming Together

Sports Fans Coming Together

What A Fan has watched some major shifts in the world of sports that have taken place over the years specifically with sports fans and advertisers. We believe strongly sports fans coming together could be a sign of good things. We are noticed sports fans have become a big part of companies marketing efforts including tv commercials, social networking  and contest all targeting sports fans. Back in the day you would rarely if ever see fans in a commercial but that has changed.

Sports Fans Coming Together

Sports fans are valuable demographic to advertisers and represent a huge pocket of money that spend, spend, spend. So its not a big surprise we are seeing more and more advertising with painted face fans or tailgate references included around products and companies they want us to support. The World of sports has experienced enormous success for years because of loyal spending sports fans provide, of course fans would eventually become stars themselves and in high demand... Sports fans coming together could change the way people think about them, usually pictured as a segmented bunch that are single mindedly adorned with blinders only for the sports organizations they're passionate about.

Sports fans represent one of if not the largest network in the world without any organized voice, its weird but we understand how difficult it would be to even attempt to organize a sports fan union. What would it do anyway? Fight for fair ticket prices, ask for two for one beer deals or maybe argue for free merchandise with every ticket purchased. Of course we joke but Sports fans coming together has real benefit and we believe will happen sooner then you think. We are all excited about the upcoming Sports Fan Conference in Orlando August 30th to September 1st, sports fans from every sport will be under one roof in a show of solidarity and fun...

TV Commercials with Fans

Sports Fans Coming Together, #SportsFanConferenceOrlando

The great thing about sports fans is their loyalty, it would be so awesome to see that same energy collectively harnessed for a greater good. Separately fans around the Country are doing some amazing things, collectively we can be a force of positiveness!!!

Gay Warriors

Gay Warriors!

There's no doubt by now you've heard the announcement made by NBA Player Jason Collins that he's a gay man and the first to come out. How many professional athletes do you think there really are? Should Jason continue to play in the NBA he would be the first active Gay Warrior. It has set off a media story that has stimulated a great deal of dialog among his colleagues, former players and fans. We have asked our friends following us on our social networks what they think about the announcement and should we care about the personal lives of athletes we admire and the feedback has been mixed.

First Actively Gay NBA Player

I have represented a former NBA Player who wrote a book announcing his gay lifestyle and I remember wondering how many people besides myself knew his secret. His final years were played in a small NBA Market so it was easy for him to stay under the radar but when his Head Coach shoved him into his dog house I always thought he knew. An old school type guy I believe it was an uncomfortable situation for him. Does it matter to sports fans if there were many other gay warriors that decide to go public with the sexuality?

I'm Gay and I'm Happy!!!

Gay Warriors, Who Cares?

I'm a die-hard sports fan! I love the competition the strategic nature of the games and finally the athletic abilities of individual players. I'm not sure I give damn whether or not a player is a gay warrior or disrespectful playboy, what does it matter? If he is helping my favorite team win I love him or her... That's just my humble opinion I do realize there are several people that have taken a moral stand about this, I just don't know that merging our morality with wanting to win games is a good mix...

International Fans vs USA Fans?

International Fans vs USA Fans?

What A Fan is all about exploring the intriguing World of sports fans and in a continuing effort to shine a insightful light we thought we'd look at International fans vs USA fans. Lets begin with our International neighbors across the pond, lets first identify the most popular sports. The top of the list has to begin with Europe's version of football, soccer, next is open wheel racing. International soccer fans are some of the most dedicated fanatics we have ever witnessed in our history. We were first introduced to the World of extreme soccer fans during a World Cup many years ago and it was for all the wrong reasons.

Sexy International Soccer Fan!

During several of the games the news was dominated by reports of soccer fans being killed during tailgating functions and after games be rival teams fan base and the gangs that followed them. If this happens once its way to many times but this was happening over and over again, fans were not just cheering for the teams these games represented their Country and homeland... To soccer fans the games were an opportunity for expression, pride and winning meant everything but loosing was devastatingly painful. There are similarities among soccer fans and fans here in the USA we all seem to enjoy expressing our passion with colorful costumes and painted faces, some might say they started it and we took it to a whole new level... International fans vs USA fans is very interesting once you dive in and really look at both parties.

Soccer Thugs!

International open wheel racing fans are significantly less violent but equally as passionate for their sport and favorite drivers. I guess as we explored the International fans vs USA fans we see so many more similarities then anything else including unfortunately moments of horrific violence. So we are calling this a draw! We'd love to get your thoughts, leave a comment below and tell us what you think.

International Fans vs USA Fans?

If you have an International experience please share it with us. We hope you continue to support our blog you're the reason we do it! Visit What A Fan's web site and stay connected with upcoming events.

Satisfied Sports Fans

Satisfied Sports Fans

The World of sports is not an easy environment to maneuver in. Professional and amateur sports work within a maze of obstacles that few will ever understand. Dealing with a variety of people, attitudes, off the field circumstances and talented egos is no simple task. Add to that the underlining pressure to win so you have satisfied sports fans and it just gets more complicated.

Loosing Sucks!

Satisfied sports fans are easy to spot, they're typically in good moods constantly talking about how well their teams are doing and buying up any and all team merchandise they can put their hands on. How do you satisfy sports fans? Its fairly simple, just win baby! That's right winning will keep your fans engaged and more then happy to spend their hard earned cash to support the team. Make no mistake about it winning Organizations fan are a bit spoiled but loosing Organizations still have loyal satisfied fans that put the game above all else.

Satisfied Sports Fans, 

Satisfied Sports Fans are no different from any other group that expect to get a good product for their  money! Shoppers don't enter a store prepared to spend their money only to find crappy merchandise they're force to buy do they? Hell no! Fans have a right to want to see a competitive product on the field or courts, showing up to games knowing your Teams chances of winning is slim to none SUCKS! The good news is we're not talking about shoppers we're talking about Sports Fans, some of the best most amazing people we know... Showing up when our Teams are struggling is what we do. Lifting the our Teams spirits is who we are, folding it in when our Teams are at their lowest point is just not an option!!!

We May Hate Loosing But We're Here!

Fans may bitch and talk a lot about our Teams performance among ourselves but we don't want to hear it from anyone outside our fan base... What A Fan is proud to be part of this great group of awesome folks. We are Satisfied Sports Fans and we've got our Teams back!!!!! Visit our web site and show your colors!

NFL Hall of Fame Fans

NFL Hall of Fame Fans

What A Fan has been following a group of NFL Hall of Fame Fans which we were introduced to us in 2000. We found out about these amazing fans by a Oakland Raider Fan we were interviewing for the pilot episode for What A Fan, he was living in New Jersey and wanted to be one of the fans initially selected. The NFL and Visa worked together on a sponsorship program targeting fans, winners of this super fan contest would be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fans inside Canton's Hall of Fame.

All of us at What A Fan could not believe our luck we thought this was the coolest thing ever and confirmed for all the show producers we were on the right project at the right time... The NFL Hall of Fame Fans story was just the kind of feature we believed people would have a curiosity about , as we did. We had our producers make arrangements to interview the first group of fans that won and ultimately selected to be part of the Hall of Fans. Since we already had our first pilot show written and scheduled we could not include the NFL Hall of Fame Fans but they were part of our series of shows planned. As fate would have it the show did get distribution, unfortunately out release date was after the horrific events of 911.

Today the World is a different place with assets we didn't have in 1999. The internet has become an amazing tool we can barely live without, social networks are the way we now communicate and express ourselves. One thing that hasn't changed is the passion of sports fans. We are happy to report the group of fans once selected to the first Visa NFL Hall of Fame Fans contest are largely still with us and just as passionate about their teams as ever. Some are gone like our good friend Barrel Man but we'll never forget him, we'll keep his memory alive.

NFL Hall of Fame Fans, Quality Folks!

What makes this group of super fans special is the continued commitment to their teams and the community service they immerse themselves in year to year. Their value to sports, community, charitable organizations and the people's lives they've touched is unmeasurable. The smiles they've put on the faces of countless children in need and during hospital visits has been remarkable. There are fans and then there are super fans and the NFL Hall of Fame Fans now recognized as P.F.U.F.A. (Professional Football Ultimate Fan Association) are just a class group of American Sports Fans.

What A Fan is honored to be part of a industry of sports fans were organizations like PFUFA are born from. Visit What A Fan and share you passion with our great fans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan Excited

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fan Excited

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fans have a lot to be excited about today. New York Jets former Pro Bowl Corner Darrelle Revis was traded to the Team in the City by the Bay, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs may have scored big with this trade if Revis health is on point. This move may do more then just sure up a sourly need makeover at the corner position it will put more butts in the stands during Tampa Bay home games. Nineteen games over the last couple of seasons were blacked out do to lack of attendance, this will surely bring more fans back to the games.

Darrelle Revis

During Revis media conference today the veteran spoke of bringing more leadership to the young Buccaneers Team and a strong work ethic. The Fans are hoping he brings more wins! Having been to many Tampa Bay games I can tell you personally the Fans are some of the best in the NFL and I'm excited to see the Bucs play this year, plus the tailgating parties are awesome! The only question now is how will Freeman play at the Quarter Back position? If he can be half as good as he's capable of being this will be a Team to beat. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fans Excited, that's an understatement!!!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fans Excited Final Thoughts

I still can't believe the New York Jets would trade the best defensive player and the leader of the Team when leadership is so hard to replace. But one Teams lost is another Teams treasure and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fans are excited about the treasure they've been given. Over the next several weeks the Buccaneers and their fans will be all a buzz over the new kid on the block. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fans Excited just doesn't seem to really express the feelings circulating around the City of Tampa. Visit What A  Fan and follow great fans like you!

Boston Fans Support Their City

Boston Fans Support Their City

The City of Boston has been on edge over the last several days but today April 20th the City of Boston can rest a little easier. Today Boston fans support their City by returning to the ballparks and enjoying the teams and activities they love. The Boston Red Sox  and all the Boston Professional Sports franchises were amazingly supportive of their community and fans around the Country have shown their heart felt support as well.

Marathon Bombing

Today the Red Sox take the field and as a tribute the City, the victims and the families affected by the horrific events will wear Boston across the chest on their uniform (usually reads Red Sox). A strong gesture of support by a classy organization. Today we salute the City of Boston and anyone from the area effected by the recent bombing, Boston is such a massive part of American History that it's fitting they are our American Sports Fan feature of the day! Boston fans support their City much like the City of New York did after the 911 event, sports fan are resilient and we are honored to be part of the community.

Oakland Raider Super Fan

Oakland Raider Super Fan

Oakland Raider Super Fans may be some of the most scary fans you'd ever want to see. When dressed in their super fan outfit you wouldn't want to run into any of them on an unlit road. I'm joking of course, actually Oakland Raider Super Fans are some of the most amazing fans you will ever meet. What A Fan would like to introduce you to Mark aka "Gorilla Rilla" known for his unique choice of costume and his passion for community service.

Few fans we follow are as active in community related efforts as Gorilla Rilla. Kids adore him and fans across the country respect his pure heart and desire to help in anyway possible. So often we hear fans described as nuts or crazy, we believe there's not enough praise provided for many Oakland Raider super fans. We've had the pleasure of meeting many Raider fans and being in their environment is an awesome experience.

Oakland Raider Super Fans Honored

If you haven't had the pleasure of attending a Raiders game I'd strongly suggest you make the trip. Oakland Raider Super Fans will show you how the Black Hole rolls... Make sure you find Gorilla Rilla and tell him What A Fan sent you! Check out our web site its all about fans like Gorilla Rilla. www.whatafan.com   

Athletes Are Fans Too

Athletes Are Fans Too

What A Fan had the honor of being a sponsor of a NFL Youth Camp which several current and former players were part of and we were happy to see Athletes are fans too. Who would of guested many of the players themselves were fans of one of our favorite super fans Sir "V." Former NFL QB Dante Culpepper (seen above) was as happy to see a familiar supporter as Sir "V" was to see him.

Athletes truly do appreciate the super fan supporters they have and it was pretty cool to see this up close. I enjoy watching Professional Athlete interviews and hear them express how big a sports fan they are, whether its the sport they play or not. It reminds us just how important being a fan is, we are all fans of something! Athletes are fans too could not be more obvious to us.

Athlete Are Fans Too Final Thoughts

If at any time you have an opportunity to meet a player ask him or her yourself, what sport do they follow? Or what athlete would they pay to see? You'd be surprised at their answer and it just may prolong your time spent with them, its probably a question they're not asked very often. Just remember Athletes are fans too!

College Football

College Football

College football fans are by far some of the most incredible group of fans there is. As loyal as they come college fans have several generations of fans in their family. It usually begins because someone in the family attended a specific school and a tradition was born. The pageantry, the tradition and pride that comes with college athletics is truly special.

As we get closer to the NFL Draft we wanted to take a look at the transition from college football to Pros and how it effects an entire group of fans, players and the coaches that have been part of their development. So meet Chris, Chris has been coaching for the Florida Gators for more then five (5) decades... He's seen some of the best Florida has delivered into the NFL and has been a huge part of their accomplishments. We had the pleasure of interviewing the legendary coach during Gator Fan Fest, check it out.

Saints Fans

Saints Fan

Our last visit to New Orleans was awesome but how do you not have a blast in that City! The one thing you quickly come to realize when you visit New Orleans is the people there throw a great party, love to eat and love their Saints! No matter where you go you will meet a Saints fan happy to talk about a special moment they remember. Meet Jeremy a die-hard Saints fan that couldn't stop talking about his beloved Team.

We met Jeremy when we walk into his place of employment to have lunch, he was our waiter and he was awesome. We love talking sports but we love talking sports even more with passionate fans everywhere we go. Saints fans have this laid back quality about them until you begin a conversation about their local teams then a light seems to turn on within them all... There's no better group of people then sports fans and this Saints fan is just another example of that!
