Football players - they're just like us!

In what is either the most inspiring or depressing story to come out of this NFL Lockout (guys, can we just call a truce and get on with it?), it appears Tyler Lorenzen, esteemed member of the Saints practice squad, has resorted to squatting in the second bedroom of the Saints' backup quarterback and learning how to make low-cost fajitas at home/Chase Daniel's apartment.

Yes, Tyler Lorenzen is one of the 9.2% of unemployed Americans hustling in this economy.

"These days, Lorenzen's idea of dining out is "Taco Tuesdays'' at a popular bar in New Orleans' warehouse district, or the 75-cent hamburger slider special at a restaurant Besh opened in the National World War II Museum. Even then, he avoids soft drinks and alcohol, usually settling for ice water."

Drinks are on us at Lucy's, Tyler.
