A few fixtures in the New Orleans Saints' locker room were missing this week.
A ping pong table, a small basketball hoop and a Nintendo 64 console that players used to pass the time between meetings and workouts were gone Wednesday as the Saints began to prepare for their NFC Wild-Card matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
"It's all gone," said safety Von Bell. "That means preparation has got to kick up."
As the Saints prepare to face the Panthers for the third time this season, players and coaches have removed the games from the games from the locker room.
