NEW ORLEANS - Typical horror movie. The call was coming from inside the house.
The guy doing the dialing was New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas, who had just slashed the Los Angeles Rams to the tune of 12 catches for a club-record 211 yards, including a soul-crushing 72-yard touchdown.
Thomas celebrated that November score by fishing a flip phone out of a goalpost pad and pretending to make a call, an homage to long-ago Saints receiver Joe Horn who had done the same thing back in 2003. A stickler for details, Thomas stashed phones in both Superdome end zones just in case - he knew it would happen, just not where.
