Quiet preseason works perfectly for New Orleans Saints

METAIRIE – The New Orleans Saints are pretty boring Super Bowl champions, and that’s a good thing.

Training camp has come and gone and all the Saints did for 22 days was prepare themselves to defend their NFL title.

They didn’t have a diva who couldn’t decide if he wanted to play quarterback or play Prince Hamlet (as the Vikings did).

Tuesday practice quotes
Notebook: Special teams works overtime
They didn’t have an overpaid defensive lineman who couldn’t pass a conditioning test for several days and then after he passed it, claimed to have a physical ailment that his coach said he knew nothing about (as the Redskins did).

They didn’t have a pair of blowhard wide receivers who spent more time on self-indulgent tweeting than they did scoring touchdowns (as the Bengals did).

They didn’t have a rookie who bucked NFL tradition by refusing to carry veterans’ equipment (as the Cowboys did).

No, the Super Bowl XLIV champions had all their players in camp on day one, in shape, focused on their work, and respectful of each other. Ho-hum.
