SUNBURY-ON-THAMES, England -- When asked if he had any personal guilty pleasures he was looking forward to enjoying Wednesday in London, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton said hadn't even left his hotel room until the Saints held their first practice.
"We're somewhere west. Western suburbs," Payton joked about his lack of awareness of his surroundings after he spent Monday and Tuesday reviewing tape and game-planning with the rest of the coaching staff. "There isn't a lot of time for all the other English pleasantries right now."
Unlike the coaches, Saints players did get to enjoy the town after flying into London directly from their 34-13 victory at Carolina on Sunday.
