Greetings from Saints Board

OK, we can essentially agree on something there.
I have always been under the assumption that the "who dat" of the Saints came first. However, it is possible that it could be the other way around, as the "Who Dey" version of it came from the fact that when someone would order a Hudepohl beer (brewed in Cincinnati) they would say "Give me a Hu-dey". (I recall doing it myself at times in the 70s) It is even possible that Hudepohl was the beer served in the ballparks in Cinci, either the Reds or Bengals, and that the beer hawkers would yell out "Hu-dey, get your Hu-dey here".
Thus, people took to yelling out "Hu-dey". When the Saints started saying "Who Dat say gonna beat dem Saints" the Bengals fans followed along, using their well established cry for beer and simply extrapolating it to "Who Dey...say gonna beat dem Bengals" or whatever it is they say. Nevertheless "Who Dey" came from the cry for beer
.the bengals did actually have it first. but i dont know if it even means the same thing or represents something even remotely similar
after all. nobody calls it "who dey nation"
i got a lot of crap when i went to the bengals/saints game a few seasons back........they werent happy when i brought my voodoo doll of houshamazoli

Well, I don't know about who came first. I note in my research that it seems to be a constant argument.
I DO know that the the call for a "Hudy" was around long before this "Who Dey" thing popped up. How do I know? Because I went to a lot more bars and drank more beer in the 70s than I did in the 80s.
From what I also read the response to "Who dey say gonna beat dem Bengals"....which was "Nobody" came from a local car commercial in Cincy. Can't recall the guys name but he would get on TV and say "Who's gonna give you a better deal on a car?....NOBODY" So, the Cinci cry came from a combination of a beer and a car commercial. Pretty apt for a football thing, fair to say?
Though, I also recall that Bill Cowher gave his own reply to the "Who Day say gonna beat dem Bengals" when he was HC of the Steelers. His response was simply "We Dey". In reality, for many years the response could have been "Everybody instead of Nobody"

Nice to see other team fans on here being good sports
, not annoying trollsexactly! it's a breath of fresh air to have a decent convo with a fan of another team. it's a whole lot better than the alternative!
exactly! it's a breath of fresh air to have a decent convo with a fan of another team. it's a whole lot better than the alternative!
Have to agree there. It's always nice to talk to other fans from other teams minus all of the childish BS. I also agree with one of previous posts about the Saints winning the Super Bowl as a good story. It gives hope to us Browns fans. My son likes the Saints as a 2nd team. I constantly remind him though of where he lives, and where his loyalties should lie first and foremost!
But at least they're an NFC team, so I can live with it. He is only 7, but he knows the drill. Root for your hometown first! -
I'd be interested in getting a Saints fan evauation of Fujita; how his loss will impact your defense and what we can expect. Thanks and good luck with Minny!

Gipper: I did a bit of research myself and it turns out that "Give me a Hu-Dey" originated shortly before Cinci was named "The Queen City" and was code for "homosexual favors". A Cinci man could walk down the street and if he saw a guy he liked he could say "Give me a Hu-Dey" and the guy, if gay, would know what he was referring to.You can look this up on likipedia.cinci.org
Yea, I bet you often go trolling on that site as well, eh Smoochie? wink wink.

I just thought I would try to give you a run for the money on the "me-me-me bull $hit" meter........Smoochie
Except none of what I wrote about the "Who Dey" thing was BS. It was really just all straight info, straight data. I didn't make up any of it.
In fact I really did drink Hudepohl on occasion. It wasn't very good. Only a step above Iron City...a small step. But better than Stroh's.
Maybe for my next survey I will have to ask for your favorite and least favorite brands of beer.

Queers Lite is my least favoriteThere are several favorites: Bourbon Barrel Stout, Maudite, Nocturnum, Trois Pistoles. If I'm going to drink a million of them I drink Miller Lite.
You're still more full of $hit than a Christmas goose!
I said I was going to ask the question in my next survey, not now! Are all of your ejaculations this premature?
And I do like a goose for Christmas....or at least a Peking duck:

I wish your team "who dat" good luck this year except when they play "why do we still suck" on 10/24...good luck tonight vs those pesky vikings, adrian peterson already guaranteed a viking win i hope the saints strip him of the ball 5 times and force favre to retire now..

IMO Fujita was one of our biggest assetts on defense. he was one of the leaders on the team and he was a great person. I think he would be better at playing ILB in a 3-4 but he can control blockers and rush the passer so i think he'll help on the edge for you guys.
as i said before it was no surprise he was voted captain despite being a first year player. hes considered to be just above average but i feel like his contributions went above and beyond his statistical value

You're funny kid! Losers always hate winners! Win consistently for 40 years and then you can talk.The Saints will come back to earth this year.......still a fair team but not a contender.
It's funny that your school used a Saints shirt for a dunce cap too!
lol how long did it take the steelers to win their first super bowl? oh yea, the same exact time it took the saints to win their first super bowl. while your team cant manage its own players, my team is involving its whole city. while your team suspends and trades its best players, my team cant hold all the players that want to play there
its funny that tomlin completely changed the formula that helped the steelers for so many years. the saints will compete for the super bowl for the next few seasons while the steelers will be fighting for a .500 season and trying to luck into a wild card spot

after the saints started getting some attention last season a bunch of bengals fans started complaining about us taking their saying
while the sayings arent the same, it was obvious, and all the information pointed to them having their saying before we had ours
like i said, the saints didnt steal the saying, but the bengals did have it first

Are you a home bound, wheelchair bound, self absorbed, useless bank or useless gibberish, or are you still mobile?Here's my answer for you:
In fact, I really do do what this says. I have been to all 50 states, to the 88 largest cities in America, to every major league city in the US and Canada, to every National Park in the Continental US and 51 of the 58 that exist. One of my goals is to eventually go to every continent...except perhaps Antartica

Come on dude, you can't be serious! You rise up out the sludge for one year and all of a sudden you are the next dynasty?Sit back and watch for a another decade or so and you will see what I mean.
we went to the NFC championship game in '06.....we won the super bowl last season
we are still building and have already won a championship. im not saying we are the next dynasty, but i am saying my team is better than your team
if you wanna talk about the past then lets talk cuz i know some people who are fans of a team with more championships than anybody. the steelers have some catchin up to do with the browns

Who knows, they could be. The "next dynasty" usually does come out of obscurity:
The Browns of course didn't even exist before they became the dynasty of the late 40s/50s.
The Packers had losing seasons in 9 of the previous 11 seasons including a 1-10-1 record in 1958 before Vince Lombardi took over in 1959 and led them to 5 titles in the 60s.
I am sure you are aware of the Steelers history...40 years worth of nothing, 1 single postseason game in all that time, a 2-11-1 record in 1968 and 1-13 in 1969 before they became the team of the 70s.
The 49ers only had a few winning seasons in there 35 years prior to 1981 including consecutive 2-14 seasons in 1978 and 1979.
The Cowboys of course had a good history of winning, but prior to 1990 they had back to back years of 3-13 and 1-15.
The Pats had some sporadic success in the 90s, but were 5-11 before winning the SB in 2001 and then went on to dominat the 00's.
So, history tells us that some team will probably be considered a "dynasty of the teens". It could be the Saints. They are as good a candidate as any right now. Sean Payton certainly has some Brown/Lombardi/Noll/Walsh/Belichick like traits about him does he not?

^^ it's definately "who dat" , "who dey" is the gay version that the bungles ripped off of the saints.
"who dey" is the rip off? I thought it was the other way around?
Either way both are lame as hell.

hello browns fans. although i live in canton, ive been a life long saints fan. having said that ive always respected the browns for not only being my home team, but having to deal with all the same crap that the saints have had to deal with. Now that my saints have won im here to wish good will to the brownies. With scott fujita and jake delhomme just being named captains you can see how new orleans breeds leadership. i wish all the best to the browns this year. just kick the steelers ass cuz im so tired of hearing it from them. nobody gives a shit about how many championships they have because if it isnt this year it doesnt mean squat
oh yea and all of you are welcome at both of the sites i post at......... blackandgold.com and saintsreport.com
welcome aboard. i like the saints and enjoy seeing them do well. where are you from in canton? i'm from jackson and teach in plain.

Can you ever post without spewing a diatribe of obvious information?
In other words, I have again provided facts, data and information that slams a manhole cover over your negative little theories, and in your embarrassment you have nothing better to say than to harangue me about my encyclopedic knowledge. I see your white flag flying and accept your surrender graciously.
-
Besides the fact that I like the Saints, they're playing the Queens....so GO PACK!!
I mean.....GO SAINTS!!
Gah. Enough of the singing already. Let's get to the replay's of Favre's interception.

I like your analogy to the encyclopedia. Reading your posts is like someone handing you an encyclopedia and saying "there might be an answer to your question in here, read the entire thing and see" Except an encyclopedia isn't filled with self serving BS!Blah blah blah, remember when I said this.......
Blah blah blah, read my post about this.......
Blah blah blah, in my research about this I said that.........
Blah blah blah, I........
Blah blah blah, me.........
Blah blah blah, I'm so smart.......
Blah blah blah, I am special.......

I'm guessing you used to get paid by the word, regardless of merit, and retirement isn't working for you...........you just can't get beyond being the pompous windbag.Neither actually. I don't get paid by the word, nor am I retired. What I am is an intelligent, erudite, informed, discerning, knowledgeable, learned, sagacious, insightful, ingenious, sophisticated, resourceful, versatile, conversant, adroit individual.
And I don't know why you need to bother the rest of the forum members here with your inferiority complex over that.
