Well us "crackheads" aren't on your level intelligence wise.
I will say this. I am very curious how the city would support a perennial doormat like the Saints when us fans have been spoiled for so long with winning teams put out by the Spurs.
And I'm not talking about 2006, when there's still some novelty to it. I'm talking about the next time the Cowboys put together a juggernaut and Dallas is blacked out in favor of a 2-5 Saints team. Will there be enough converts that this won't matter? Or do me and MB need to go buy a DirecTV distributorship?

Probably the same way the city did for the Spurs prior to 1999.
I think you'd have to go back to the mid-to-late 80's, before D-Rob finished his service and came to town. And what was the population difference since then? I know I'm asking the right person.
Indeed. I think that the Spurs would be hurt worse by mediocrity than the Saints. When given a choice between equally ty teams, I suspect people will go with the sport they love. Basketball isn't #1 in South Texas.
The Spurs benefitted in down years by being the only game in town. Once that changes and people have the option of 8 NFL games a year on the weekends versus 41 games with a majority on the weeknights, it's not hard to see a lottery bound Spurs team struggling mightily.

With football, you know you have the same three teams coming into town every season for 3/8ths of your home games - in the Saints case, Tampa Bay, Carolina, and Atlanta. Unless of course they realign divisions for some reason.
Luckily in recent years, that means two recent Super Bowl qualifiers and maybe the most popular player in the league.
This says it all.

This gives you the before and after effect of having a winning Spurs team in SA versus a losing one in the same facility. No, the population did not double during that time.
SA loves a winner. But if you aren't winning, you're gone.
And of note is that was over multiple seasons. When season ticket holders are given an opportunity to adjust, then attendance drops markedly for ty teams.
Oh god, you need a woman badly.
Using stats from the last 80's!!
LOLOLOLOLOL
A time in which people predicted 40% of the population would be under the poverity line by 2010. The city was very poor back then.
But forget that for a moment, look at llosing teams attendance record, you'll see tons of slumps until the team starts winning.
Get a life poser.
I need a woman? You're the one lusting over the city of San Antonio.
Predictable that you can't offer an analysis of the stats, only more and more namecalling and other empty bluster.
Yeah, I wonder if it puts out?
What stats stalker?Predictable that you can't offer an analysis of the stats, only more and more namecalling and other empty bluster.
The ones that show a slump in ticket sales during a lottery bound season?
Get a ing life poser.
Let's ask fans from Tampa that question.
A "poser" is one who attempts to pass someone else's pics as his own on a NSYNC fan forum.
Talk all the you want, you're the ing chode around here.
If this happens, I can see the NFL placing the Saints in the AFC, and moving Jacksonville to the NFC. Therefore, perserving the 22-25 ratings the Cowboys pull in San Antonio, and gaining viewership here with the Saints in the AFC.
I can tell you that if the Saints move here I will go from somewhat ignoring the Spurs to completely ignoring them until about Valentine's Day (and then completely ignoring them again for the entire month of April for the draft), even if the Saints go 0-16.
...but, I'm just someone who values football about 439204392 times more than I value basketball.
After three pages of this drivel, I'm fully convinced that Buddy and Marcus are married.
With the way Marcus is always following me, I would be surprised if the guy had a man crush on me... eh.
