Football: Payton calls rain a minimal disruption to Saints

DAVIE, Fla. - New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton says his players weren't bothered at all by the rain that forced a change in practice sites.

Payton says the team still got in a good workout at the Miami Dolphins' indoor facility to kick off Super Bowl week. The Saints initially were supposed to head for the University of Miami in Coral Gables, about 30 miles away.

Payton says players were in a jovial mood while checking into their hotel.

The coach joked that quarterback Drew Brees and his six Pro Bowl teammates "earned some good tips" by dressing as bellhops to greet the rest of the Saints when they arrived.
