"You like cheeseburgers?" Davis asked Payton, when courting him for the Raiders job. One Big Mac and some KFC coleslaw later, Payton turned the gig down, and coached the Saints to a title. Somewhere, Davis wonders where it all went wrong. [Via] More »

So Sean Payton and another coach are accused of raiding and abusing the team's medicine cabinet. And the security director making the allegations is accused of blackmailing the team. Tricky stuff. This calls for a breakdown. More »

With all due respect to Tommy, I think this idiotic screed painting Sean Payton as a modern Benedict Arnold is as bad as anything that's been produced this week. Bob Kravitz from the Indianapolis Star, come on down! More »

Chesney's appearance was not announced to the crowd watching practice, but Chesney ran routes, fielded punts, and did his best to relieve his high school wide receiver glory days. Then, things got interesting, good friend: Saints head coach Sean Payton, offered the team a day off from practice if Chesney could catch a punt. As if that weren't enough reason, read on for the Jeremy Shockey curfew stories. More »
