The Alabama Crimson Tide are in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl on January 1st, but Heisman finalist Amari Cooper is not impressed with the way the city smells.

The New Orleans Saints could look at drafting Amari Cooper in the offseason to give Drew Brees a franchise wide out to end his career with and then subsequently build the offense around. Cooper’s comments don’t ruin that possibility, but he might want to get used to the smell since a career with the Saints may very well be in his future.

Cooper spoke to reporters before the game and mentioned that the city of New Orleans has a peculiar stink to it that doesn’t agree with his sense of smell.

This is all well and good for Cooper, as it’s not like he’s saying Tuscaloosa stinks, or any place in Alabama. He has a natural distain for all things Louisiana thanks to LSU being in the SEC with the Crimson Tide, but he may be burning a bridge he may have to cross in the near future. Needless to say, Saints fans who were listening to that, as well as LSU fans, were not tickled by Cooper’s comments.

If the Saints end up overlooking their glaring defensive needs to draft Amari Cooper, then all of this will be but a distant memory to fans in New Orleans. But there’s also a chance that Cooper is drafted by the Atlanta Falcons or another NFC rival of the Saints, and he his comments about the city’s smell most definitely won’t fall on deaf ears.
