When he's in Rome, he'll follow the Romans' example, and when he goes to Green Bay in late December, he'll prepare ahead of time by freezing it.
The New Orleans Saints are based in the Deep South and play more than 50 percent of their games indoors each year, playing Monday Night Football games against the Packers at frigid Lambeau Field. The Saints have already been eliminated from postseason contention, but they've put in a lot of effort to prepare — in fact, they've frozen themselves out.
“Quarterbacks coach Andrew Yanocco took Rattler and the rest of the Saints quarterbacks to the walk-in freezer in the team cafeteria on Saturday to practice plays.” I wrote ESPN's Katherine Terrell. “Janocco joked that he got the idea after watching Cool Runnings. In the movie, the characters sit in an ice cream truck to prepare for the situations they will face as Olympic bobsledders. .”
It is important to note here that the Jamaican bobsled team crashed. Will the Saints suffer a similarly unkind fate on Monday night? Since no sleds are used, there is less chance of collisions. But there's a pretty good chance you'll end up with a bruise. The Packers are clicking on all cylinders as multiple key pieces on offense and defense return from injury.
Additionally, the Packers will play for a playoff spot in the icy yet friendly environment of historic Lambeau.
