Benson, players should dump on your cars

2. Off-the-field note of the week: A crazy story from last week, according to a report by profootballtalk.com. The popular NFL news site reported that two or more Saints players vandalized some vehicles from owner Tom Benson's mini-fleet of new cars in the Saints employees parking lot last weekend. A little background: Each year Benson brings a few new cars from his dealerships and parks them in the secured lot at the team's training complex in hopes of selling a few to his employees. Apparently some Saints employees don't appreciate the sales pitch. According to the report, when the team arrived at the Saints facility on Saturday to continue preparations for the Packers game, "more than one of the cars was coated in a certain byproduct of the human digestive system." Profootballtalk.com has never been afraid to report unsubstantiated rumors and innuendo, but this one, according to multiple team sources, is on the mark. File this one under "Strange but true." Speaking of profootballtalk.com, Saints cornerback Jason David denied a report by the site intimating that he performed the gang-related "crip walk" dance after his two interceptions against Green Bay. David said the dance was something he's done since his days as youth and is not gang-related. He added that he has not heard from the NFL about the situation either. The league reportedly has issued an edict to crack down on gang-related displays in games this season.

The fans of the Saints should organize a massive dump all over the various dealerships in the Louisiana area owned by Mr Benson. He wanted to move your franchise out of your city, and most likely will continue to do the same. Welcome to Tampa, get your ass whipped and get a high draft choice next year.
