Saints News June 8, 2013: Marques Colston Moonlights As Pro Football Owner

Did you know that receiver Marques Colston is a minority owner of a pro football franchise? Neither did I, until today!! We've also got some national beat guys' minicamp recaps of the week. Dig in, boys and girls. Caution, lead tweets for the day are some seriously SSP for me and Ralph.

Who's your daddy? Colston is.
