METAIRIE — The New Orleans Saints have completed their first three Organized Team Activities as they make the transition from celebrating their Super Bowl championship to preparing to defend it.

The Mardi Gras parades, appearances on Oprah and Letterman, and hometown homages have given way to the annual offseason workouts that include 12 practices.

“Just about every player on our team had their high school jersey retired and a street named after them in their hometown,” quarterback Drew Brees said this week. “Certainly there comes a time when it’s time to get back to work and thinking about how to accomplish the things we’re still setting out to accomplish and get that level of success we had last year.

“As much as we want to sit here and say we’re going to build on what we did last year and basically take where we left off and continue to go up from there, the fact of the matter is every year is a new year and every team is a new team regardless of how many guys you have coming back.”
