As first reported by Canal Street Chronicles' Dave Cariello, Saints LB coach Joe Vitt is recovering from injuries sustained early Saturday morning while chasing away scum-of-the-earth thieves trying to steal his and a neighbor's cars.
Dave heard it first from a friend who lives near Joe Vitt and it was later confirmed by local and national sports news outlets. Mike Triplett at ESPN.com has an article with additional details:
