The New Orleans Saints are in negotiations with Millsaps College to bring the team's preseason camp to the college this summer. Camp starts in late July and the Saints would be at Millsaps for about four weeks. The Saints will also play an exibition game in Jackson on Aug. 26. Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Tuesday night that no final decision has been made, but Saints officials have visited the school and negotiations are under way. The Saints held camp at their team facility in Metairie the last three years. New coach Sean Payton has said he prefers the old-school approach of an NFL team leaving town to practice so that players can focus on football and drinking beer in an unfamiliar setting. Doctor S thinks the more distance the Saints put between themselves and Bourbon Street during the preseason, the better.
