Saints LB coach Joe Vitt Tears Achilles, Breaks Wrist after Chasing Car Thieves

Dave heard it first from a source and it was later confirmed by local and national sports news outlets. Ramon Vargas of The Advocate and Mike Triplett at ESPN.com both have articles with additional details:

New Orleans Saints linebackers coach Joe Vitt played some defense of his own outside his Metairie home on Saturday morning, chasing away a man and woman who were attempting to steal his car and a neighbor's car.

Vitt's efforts took a toll, though. The 61-year-old suffered a torn Achilles tendon and a broken wrist after falling, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed.

Bensel added that Vitt "never missed a day of work."

The incident occurred shortly before 4 a.m. on Saturday, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Col. John Fortunato. Vitt was walking through his kitchen when he noticed a shadow running across his front lawn. When he went outside to investigate, he noticed a white female with blonde hair wearing khaki shorts and gloves attempting to enter a neighbor's vehicle. Vitt then looked toward his own car and saw a white male inside the vehicle.

When they saw Vitt, they took off running, according to Fortunato. Vitt pursued them on foot for a short distance before tripping and causing injuries that required a trip to the hospital. The suspects remain at large.

Sons of *******!

Triplett and Ramon Antonio Vargas both gave props to CSC for breaking the story...
