Who Dat News: Saints to Open Preseason on ESPN

News: The Saints announced most of their preseason schedule, which begins on August 7th with a nationally televised Thursday night game at Arizona, according to the Times Picayune. They will then play at home against Houston in week 2, at Cincinnati in Week 3, and again back in the Superdome against Miami in Week 4. The team also announced that season ticket holders can begin purchasing tickets and travel packages next week to the Saints regular season "home game" in London. The entire 2008 regular season schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.

Who Dat Say: The preseason is nothing more than glorified practice with forced ticket sales. True... it's always interesting to see the return on your off-season investments, but we should know by this time what the depth chart will look like. Otherwise, it's just the final forum for many players hoping to make an NFL team. So please excuse us if we choose to focus on the real "home" games... in London.
