#1: the NFL is like re-watching old college games bc half the NFL is made up of former Alabama players

#2: “Louisiana struggles with the highest crime and lowest quality-of-life rankings in the United States, frequently receiving failing grades from national studies on health, economic opportunity, and public safety.
State-Level Safety Statistics
National data reflects several long-standing systemic issues across the state:
• Safety Rankings: A WalletHub study ranked Louisiana as the second least safe state in America, sitting just ahead of Mississippi.
• Violent Crime: According to SafeWise, Louisiana’s statewide violent crime rate is 9.12 incidents per 1,000 people, which is more than double the national average of 4.43. The state ranks 5th highest nationally for overall violent crime and 48th for assaults per capita.
• Homicides & Firearm Fatalities: Louisiana ranks 50th (worst in the nation) for murders and non-negligent manslaughters per capita. It also holds the nation's second-highest firearm death rate.
• Property Crime: Driven heavily by high rates of larceny, burglary, and motor vehicle thefts, the state ranks 4th nationally for property crime.”

We have multiple and the Braves are still playing in October so I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I'd rather have no pro teams than have to claim the Saints.

BTW, 24-7 going to the half LOL. and the Falcons are, well...The Falcons

How many children's hospitals are keeping the Saints afloat? If that third world shithole can support an NFL team, there's hope for Haiti and Somalia...

But if having an NFL team helps you cope with the fact that your college team is literally Bama's bitch, then congrats! Print the cups!

I enjoy the NFL. I really liked it growing up but I’m watching the saints falcons now. I don’t have a team but I still enjoy it. Louisiana has one of the smallest populations in the south but they have New Orleans which is major. The same with the falcons. Outside of Atlanta there isn’t much just like Louisiana and New Orleans.

They act like they do when a former LSU player has a bad game.

Then they suddenly become NFL experts.

I have had to witness LSU triumph over Alabama inside of Tiger Stadium (aka DEATH Valley) on THREE occasions during my lifetime.

My father, a Vietnam veteran (a true Rooster), had to suffer through a 4th
defeat inside of Tiger Stadium.

Four losses since 1967, is a LOT to endure for anyone.

Please sir, let me COPE in peace.

NFL can't hold a candle to CFB.
Burrow is my favorite current player even though I'm a Jags fan.

(Most, not all) LSU fans are one of the only fanbases to collectively root against NFL players just for having worn an Alabama uniform in college.

Once they're in the league, most normal people just wish them well, since a long and successful career as a pro is such a rare thing.

But corndogs just can't let go of their hatred for all things 'Bama.

Do you honestly believe only LSU fans dislike Alabama football?

I usually watch the first quarter of the Cowboys games, turn it off (because their defense is arse), check the score in the late third quarter, and then watch the fourth quarter if it’s close.

Hey Dumb arse, you do realize a higher percentage of residents in Louisiana live in mobile homes than in Alabama right? Tool!

Some will openly admit it, and the ones that won’t are just too embarrassed to say it aloud, but the undeniable TRUTH is that if Alabama was going up against the Taliban, these LSU frickers would wrap a towel around their head faster than they can peel a crawfish.

They openly wish Bama’s team plane would go down if they had their way.

Bama makes these folks irrational. It’s amusing were it not so frightening someone could get so unhinged with reality over what boils down to a game at the end of the day…

Of all the nights to start a thread trolling Alabama for not having an NFL team, you picked this one?
