Sports are full of cliches and buzzwords that make fans go crazy, and in football there is no word that makes the many keyboard warriors of the world (of which I am one) foam at the mouth more than 'toughness'. It's that indescribable knack for fighting through pain, and 'just making the play'. Toughness is a real thing, and there is no question about that. However, Saints fans have recently decided that the team's recent struggles are in fact due to the team now having their training camps at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia. The reasoning being that having to practice in the 'tough' heat of home will strengthen the team and make them grittier.
Why The Greenbrier-Saints narrative is ridiculous and needs to stop
