Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can think of quite a few people I'd nominate for this program.
Glenn Beck?
No!
We *tell* Beck we're sending him to Mars and then shoot him into the Sun!
"I just...I worry so much about burning up in a self-sustaining fusion reaction many times the size of Earth...I just feel I have to cry..."
I'd go to Mars to stay if they'd put me in charge of setting up the Mars Cat Colony.
Hairless cats probably work better in a space suit.
"Who Dat?" belongs to the NFL? Seriously?
The hell? I am not familiar with this usage. Mostly, I think of "Who Dat" as the words preceding "Ninja?"

It's been associated with the Saints as long as I can remember.

So they claim. Amazingly, they weren't rushing to enforce this until the Saints made it to the Superbowl. Because you know what will really endear you to the hearts of a city? Screwing over people who are trying to make a living after a massive catastrophe.

I assumed it was a takeoff of the Bengals' "Who Dey?" (Which makes me cringe every time some fool in black and orange bellows it.)

Nope. (thieving Cincinnatians, we hates them, precious)

When I first went to NOLA in (I think) 1987 the Saints had a (rare) decent team and that was the crowd's chant. I think they made the playoffs that year. Anyway, we were there when the Saints won a playoff game or made the playoffs and that was the chant all through the quarter.
So it goes back at least that far, and I think it might've originated that year.
Wikipedia says the phrase dates back to minstrel shows and that it has been used in southern high schools/universities since the early 20th century. Far longer than the NFL has been around. And, probably the Saints.
STFU NFL.
That makes me want to go out and buy some off-brand Who Dat? merch. Though I'm not sure where I'd find it in Chicago.
Here we go:
Current Saints owner Tom Benson acquired the franchise in 1985, and hired Jim Finks as general manager and Jim Mora as head coach. That combination provided the Saints with their first-ever winning record and playoff appearance, going 12-3 in 1987, which had one fewer game than normal due to a players' strike.
