Saints not sold on split home schedule

Guard Jacox livid, says league's decision 'all about money'

SAN ANTONIO -- The Saints' players and Coach Jim Haslett were disappointed to hear that NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is expecting them to play another split home schedule next season between Louisiana and San Antonio.

The Saints were available to the media Thursday for the first time since Tagliabue's visit to New Orleans and press conference Monday.

"I don't think anybody wants a split schedule," guard Kendyl Jacox said. "We're tired of traveling for home games. I don't think it's fair to us. They say they're going to take care of us. Is that how you do it? No. It's all about money. Period, point blank. And I want them to stop lying and saying that it's not."

Jacox then turned his ire toward Tagliabue, who has not met face to face with the team this season, though he reportedly has made attempts to do so.

"He so-called, supposedly said he was going to try and come see us," Jacox said. "Well, stop making it the day of the game or the night before the game. How about get down here and see us on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday? I've got some real choice words for him."

When told that Tagliabue said he still intended to visit the Saints before the end of the season, Jacox said, "He's been saying a lot of stuff since the hurricane hit. I don't believe nothing he says. And you can quote me on that. I don't believe a thing he says."
