Pretty new fan to the Saints and to the sport in general - I only started following the NFL in 2020 (am in the UK and needed a COVID lockdown hobby haha) and ended up gravitating towards NOLA for a variety of reasons, like the history (perennial underdogs until that fairy tale SB run), the culture, and of course the black and gold!!
I barely understood the rules of the game a couple of years ago, but these days I can't imagine following any other team.
I guess in retrospect I'm kinda sad that I missed out on the best years of Brees' career, but I'm here now and enjoying the ride!
Glad to have you! And yeah football can definitely be weird for people that didn't grow up around it.
If you enjoy the game and the spectacle of it all, I highly recommend watching college football! Same sport (couple of rule variations) but the feel / vibe, passion, and pageantry are IMO more similar to the UKs football.
