Sean Payton's strangest motivational tactic yet

You guys watch this crappy movie.

Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton said there was already one slight tweak to the normal routine on Monday when players broke down film on their own as offensive and defensive units. Lofton said they've done that before, but usually coaches are involved in the film breakdown. This time, the coaches put it on the players.

I guess that's better than taping Ziggy cartoons to everyone's locker.  Although, I kind of like this one if he wants to stick with the hole digging motif.



That's a scene from Sam and Dave Dig A Hole by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, by the way. If you get a chance to look through it you'll agree it's a fairly apt metaphor for how this season has gone thus far... right down to the oddly "spectacular" ending we're still kind of hoping for.  Anyway, here's the official book trailer which is a thing that publishers create these days.
