I think we all witnessed what very well may go down as the gutsiest play in NFL history. The first onside kick before the 4th quarter ever in the Super Bowl? This is like the Immaculate Reception and the Music City Miracle all rolled into one and pretty much led the Saints to their first Super Bowl victory. However, it would have been damn fun to write the post bashing Payton if they hadn’t gotten it.
But not only is Payton a former Bear (’87 ‘Spare Bears’, thank you very much), but he’s an Eastern Illinois guy and I spent more than a few devilish nights in Charleston once upon a time, so I could never be too hard on the guy.
Oh, to be in Bourbon Street tonight. I’d probably already be in jail.
