The Saints/Falcons rivalry has always been contentious, this season has seen some real ire between the two teams and fan bases.  The Saints ended the Falcons undefeated season earlier this year and Atlanta wide receiver Roddy White was quoted saying, "It's not like they came out here and won a game. I think we kind of gave it to them."
Saints defensive end Will Smith replied by saying that White, "has a problem with just saying things without thinking before he says things."

White has not addressed reporters this week.
