Underhill on Payton

Saint Spud said

It’s amazing that some people don’t even want to acknowledge this.

At the very least, he felt he needed to get away and left SOME uncertainty about whether he was done. Hopefully that’s all there is and we will find out later today that he decided to stay.

But again, dismissing this as some sort of made up narrative when the owner herself doesn’t know what’s going on is just ignoring facts. I’m done trying to justify facts that are staring people right in the face.

Other than the vacation schedule apparently changing, what do we really know? (Sincere question, I want to make sure I'm not omitting facts from my consideration of this.)

As to the vacation schedule, do we know why that changed? Meaning, has it been established it was primarily for Payton's wellbeing, or could it be something he felt like his staff needed, or he thought the staff needed at least as much as he did?

I can't recall any other team having a season quite like the Saints just endured. That it wasn't immediately business as usual when this season concluded really doesn't seem alarming to me, on its own.
