Sean Payton continues to find unique ways to describe his New Orleans Saints football team.
The coach joined the NFL Network crew after a rain-soaked practice Monday (July 30) and was asked about living up to the lofty expectations put on his team that has Super Bowl aspirations.
"Remember that game, 'Chutes and Ladders,'" he said. "You hit a chute, you came all the way (to the start). That's where we are right now, at the beginning with the dice."
In other words, what the Saints accomplished last season by getting within seconds of clinching a spot in the NFC Championship Game does them no good this season.
