I respect Russ for clapping back. Sean Payton had it coming to him. There's a saying it ain't fun until the rabbit got the gun.

I always thought that Sean Payton pulled a SUCKER move trying to embarrass Russ like that on the sideline. NEVER liked that.

As a Saints fan, Payton DESERVED all that. Remember Russ is a Super Bowl champion just like Sean Payton who has not done ANYTHING since that Super Bowl with Brees.

Payton deserves all the hate. Bounty gate was a disgusting thing to let happen, he is the last person to need to put other peoples names in his mouth.
