And just like last year, they believed their own hype and thought they were the bees' knees.

Read that paragraph by Harper carefully again, folks. I'd say he is definitely talking in an oblique way about Payton and the current locker room culture of the Saints. He is still friends with a lot of those guys here, and loves them.

That might be the reason Payton is taking them away from NOLA for training camp....to get them away from that culture. I don't care what they do in their personal time, as long as they win championships, I could care less. The Saints used to be an organization where FA's had a good shot to play because regardless of draft status we had a "best player play" culture. I didn't really care what players did because at the end of the day, they chose the fate of their job with the decisions they made on and off the field. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I think we lack accountability amongst other problems. Whatever the case,this ship will be righted and I hope its sooner than later.
