Oh, when the Saints come marching in, they plan on being familiar with CenturyLink Field because they painted the Seattle Seahawks logo on their practice field. I’m not sure it will help them much.

Painted logos, fried chicken, blown speakers … it seems like the Saints are pulling out all the stops.

Maybe, just maybe, the football game will be determined more by football factors than paint, fried chicken and busted electronics.
