Good afternoon, Saints fans. There turned about to be enough content released after this morning's Who Dat Say!?! for me to fire up an afternoon Fleur-de-Links.
The players are off today after arriving at Oxnard in the wee hours of the morning. Go here to see how the city is publicizing the Saints visit (Tay and cajuninCA...the page even has driving directions to help you get there!!).
Hotel information from above link for any other CA Saints fans:
The Residence Inn by Marriott at River Ridge is proud to be the host hotel for the New Orleans Saints Training Camp. See our Special Offers page for camp rates! Ask for the New Orleans Saints Training Camp rate!
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for late breaking news, so this post may be updated through the evening if there's an injury report or press conference from The Visor later on today...
Enjoy!

moosedenied Ah yes, the old "IT'S PRESEASON!" admonition. Last refuge of a fan who can't bear to accept what he's seeing with his own eyes.
moosedenied Thankful for last nights Twitter stream. Almost forgot that getting your ass kicked is just fine when IT'S PRESEASON! NOTHING (BAD) MATTERS!
