The New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints are hosting joint practices in West Virginia at The Greenbrier on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing both fanbases to one place.
While the stands will be flooded with Patriots and Saints fans alike, the sidelines hosted two big names from their respective sports.
NBA legend Jerry West and two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson both have homes at The Greenbrier, and both were in attendance at practice on Wednesday. The two were spotted on the sidelines in a huddle of sorts with Bill Belichick and Sean Payton.
Both West and Watson have attended Saints training camp at The Greenbrier before, including last year. That should come as no surprise, seeing as West and Watson have homes on the grounds. Furthermore, West has a steakhouse at The Greenbrier, Prime 44, commemorating his decorated basketball career.
