Drew Brees - Won the Big 10 in college
Pierre Thomas - Grew up in Illinois and played college in the Big 10
Mark Ingram - Grew up in Michigan
Marques Colston - Grew up in Pennsylvania and played college ball in New York
Sproles - Grew up in Iowa-Kansas, not brutally cold but it's not Florida
Ben Grubbs - Spent 4 years in Baltimore
Jahri Evans - Grew up and went to college in Pennsylvania.
Zach Strief - Grew up in Ohio and played ball in Chicago.

I can't believe we are this bad in cold weather.

I GET IT, we are a dome team but it's not like these guys have played their entire career since they were in pop warner in Phoenix.

It just seems we are due to win some road games.

OK End Rant.

NFL still showing their love for CSP with the night kickoff on a day when the forecast high is in the 20s.
Anyone can run and block in cold weather. Not everyone can throw & catch, which is what the Saints live and die by. And Jimmy Graham is a North Carolina/Miami product.
I'd rather just take my lumps in Philly and not have to watch another Pete Carroll beatdown.

The ball boy held on to balls for 10 years growing up in Notre Dame, IN. That's the best catholic school for boys to learn now to properly hold the balls...

Stating where people grew up or played in the past is irrelevant. I was stationed in Ft. Lewis, WA, but came home to Gulfport, MS in the summer and couldn't handle the heat very well. Have a home in Peoria, IL where I use to shovel snow in shorts and flip flops - been back here since May and I still can't handle the cold. Where people USE to be from doesn't effect how they handle temperatures NOW. The body doesn't acclimate that quickly. They can; however, put on that cold weather gear and hope their hands stay warm.
