Who Dat

In the past the New Orleans Saints have been given the nickname as the "Aints." The nickname was given to them because for the longest time the team was absolutely terrible. The supporter of the team was not much, well, support. The year when Katrina hit their record was 3-13. They could not even play in their home state, because there was nowhere for them to play. The conditions had gotten so bad that the owner of the team, Tom Benson, was thinking about permanently relocating the team. However, the fans had a difference of opinion, and the New Orleans Saints stayed where they belong. The following year, in 2006, the team got to play in their home stadium. With the new renovations at the Super Dome and the undying support of the fans, the Saints had their best year. They were one game shy of the Super Bowl. Since then, the Saints have improved and are now 12-0.
