Sean Payton Makes You An Offer You Can't Refuse

Don't criticize the Saints. Don't even think of saying Reggie Bush has been a disappointment. In fact, just let Saints head coach Sean Payton write your articles for you. Because if you don't, something like this might happen:

The writer asked the player if he was going to participate in the game and the player said he wasn't. At the time, Payton claimed the player would indeed play.

So the writer wrote the accurate story -- not playing. The following day, around 8 a.m., the writer received a call from Payton, and Payton cursed out the writer calling him a "negative f---" about a half-dozen times before hanging up.

And that's just the warm and cuddly example of Payton's paranoid, Big Brother-esque treatment of the press. Read all of Mike Freeman's piece here.

Freeman joked that his piece would end up "getting [him] shot". Which is, of course, ridiculous hyperbole...unless Sean Payton decided to hire this guy.
