CBS Sportsline Insider: Saints have few comforts of home in Alamodome

The stories of dealing with moving an entire operation in a span of three weeks to a city in another state with fans who prefer the original America's team, those Dallas Cowboys, are endless. Everybody associated with the team, it seems, has a story to tell, about hardship, change, and life throwing each a bagful of curveballs.

That's why Haslett wants to give the tour. Words, you see, don't do justice to how difficult this has been -- these NFL nomads, The Team Without a Home, trying to play out an NFL season.

"We understand that there are so many people that have things a lot worse than us," Haslett said. "We've had good support from our owner and our general manager, which has made things a lot easier. Has it been different? Yes, but we won't complain about it."

"Quite frankly, to be honest, it sucks," running back Deuce McAllister said. "But nothing in life is perfect. You don't need to moan and groan about it. Your job is to play football. You have to be happy and fortunate you still have a job basically coming from an area that was destroyed. From a man to another man, I don't want you to make excuses for me. You're talking about a game. That's it. No need to make an excuse. You either do your job or you don't."

Update:

And today, the discomfort of displacement all was worthwhile as 56,000 San Antonio fans got into the game and encouraged "their Saints" to rally back after Buffalo scored first, which resulted in 4 FG and a TD, un-answered.
