WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- The New Orleans Saints dug in and got to work on their first day of training camp Wednesday -- grabbing shovels, sledgehammers and paintbrushes as they spent the afternoon helping to revitalize a park that was damaged by floodwaters in West Virginia last month.
No NFL team can appreciate the devastation suffered by this small community more than the Saints, who lived through Hurricane Katrina 11 years ago.
So it was important for them to keep their training camp here -- as long as the community welcomed them and wanted them.
