I was a Cowboys fan when I was a kid, just because the old man was(you know how that goes when you're young). Then in '93, I caught a Saints game and was just taken with em. The unis...the atmosphere...the Dome(I loved domes and astroturf for some reason as a kid, now I hate them)...I was hooked. Been followin em ever since(though it didnt get really hardcore until about 2000, when I discovered the greatness that is Sunday Ticket. Pretty hard to follow a perennially losing team on the other end of the continent without it when you're young).
Its funny because when most people figure out I'm a Saints fan, they think it was because of their Saskatchewanite RB, Rueben Mayes, who was their RB at the time when I first got on board. Whats actually embarassing is I didnt even know he was Canadian until 3 or 4 years ago, way after he had retired.
