Tight end Jimmy Graham and backup quarterback Chase Daniel of the New Orleans Saints both tweeted Wednesday night that workers at Atlanta's Hartfield-Jackson International Airport egged the Saints' bus as the team arrived in town for its game against the Atlanta Falcons on "Thursday Night Football" (NFL Network, 8 p.m. ET).
Wow, as weâre boarding buses on the Tarmac @ Atlanta airport, we start getting eggs thrown @ us by airport workers! Guess they do hate us!

Bus just got egged after landing in ATL by the ramp workers. Classy! "RISE Up" smh

Saints linebacker Will Herring later tweeted about it, too, writing "First time my bus has been egged by opposing fans! Tomorrow should be fun!!"
The NFC South powers have developed quite a simmering rivalry in recent years (despite what Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton says). Falcons wide receiver Roddy White said earlier this month that he "don't like nothing about the Saints. The colors. The city. Nothing."
