Joe Vitt has always been a tough guy, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.
They are just lucky he didn’t catch them.
New Orleans Saints linebackers coach Joe Vitt played some defense of his own outside his Metairie home on Saturday morning, chasing away a man and woman who were attempting to steal his car and a neighbor’s car.
Vitt’s efforts took a toll, though. The 61-year-old suffered a torn Achilles tendon and a broken wrist after falling, Saints spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed.
Vitt has been a coach in the NFL for 37 years.
