Some Engine Sludge in New Orleans

Profootballtalk.com had a strange item up on their rumor mill Saturday, and we'll let them tell you all about it: 
Saints owner Tom Benson owns various car dealerships.  We’re told that, each year, he brings a mini-fleet of new cars to the team facility in the hopes of getting some of his employees to make a purchase.

As we hear it, the players don’t really appreciate the sales pitch, due in part to the perception that they aren’t offered much of a deal.

This year, some of them made it known.

On Saturday, when players arrived at the facility to continue preparations for Monday night’s home game against the Packers, more than one of the cars was coated in a certain byproduct of the human digestive system.

This might be a bit of foreshadowing on the Saints part, because we have a feeling that they're going to play the Monday Night game just like the substance that's covering Benson's car. 

At least, if our Free NFL Pick system (which is juuuuust under 60% this year) is any indication, that's how they'll play. That said, the Packers are the pick.

Packers +3 over the Saints 

As a side bet, is there any chance that Jeremy Shockey isn't responsible for this?
