SAN FRANCISCO – As I watched San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers throw a conniption fit at midfield in Kansas City last week a thought occurred to me.

This would never happen with the New Orleans Saints.

I can’t remember the last time a Saints player lost it on the field. Of course, there’s not a lot to get upset about when you start a season 13-0 and win the Super Bowl.

Still, the Saints, by and large, are as demonstrative and emotional as snipers when they take the field. Their insides might be bubbling cauldrons of emotion but it rarely shows.

The closest thing I can remember to a visual display of on-field emotion in the Sean Payton era was the heated sideline exchange between tight end Jeremy Shockey and quarterback Drew Brees in Atlanta two years ago.

Otherwise, nothing.
