how long are you allowed to brag about a superbowl victory?

[John Fox]

im just wondering.

[John Fox]

Well if we're talking Saints fans, probably forever. It's the only thing they'll have to cling to for the rest of their poverty-stricken lives.

well, i dont see chief fans bragging because they won Super Bowl IV...

You get to brag until the next Superbowl. After that, it's over.

Len Dawson never shuts up about it!

I'd probably brag until my teams chances of winning next years championship were completely gone. Once that time comes the SB victory is officially the past and doesn't really mean anything IMO.

If this is about the saints, as of now they're still the defending champions, which unfortunately means bragging is warranted. If we won we'd be talking the same poo. Annoying as hell to see them revert back to that victory in any argument though, especially on our forum.

we heard about the 2003 nfc title for 7 years

[Saint J]

nah, it has more to do with all the Jake/UL fans around here.

Until the next season starts, then everyone is 0-0.

[Jangler]

I say until they don't make the playoffs the following season. And even then everybody wants to beat the champs, good thing is, the Panthers will get to do it twice.

Until the next Super Bowl if you're not successful. If you make the Playoffs you can keep it up...because you're a winner. One and done, not so much.

Dreaming. "Defending Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints" is something you are going to hear a lot of next season.

I say until they don't make the playoffs the following season. And even then everybody wants to beat the champs, good thing is, the Panthers will get to do it twice.

Right. If the Saints don't make the playoffs, or if they get eliminated, etc... then they are no longer "defending" champions, so bragging about it at that time would be kinda silly.

BUT, most Saints fans have heard from our rivals for so long that the Saints will never make a SB, never win a SB, will always be losers, etc.... so my guess is that Panthers and Falcons fans will be hearing a lot of that until they win one. As far as the Bucs go.... well, does anyone really care about the Bucs? they beat the Saints last year, and I still can't take anything their fans say seriously. They are years away from being contenders, but it is cute that their claim to fame is beating the Saints last year. Shows how far the Saints have come.

[Saint J]

Eh, I can KIND of see where the Bucs fans are coming from. In 2002 we swept them and beat them up physically when they had maybe one of the NFL's all time great defenses and won the SB. Some idiot Saints fans held on to that as bragging rights like the pathetic Bucs fans are doing now. The funny thing is had Brooks not gotten hurt at the end of the year we could have made some real noise in the playoffs.

I think until next year's superbowl makes the most sense.

Until someone else wins it.
