Well, it was reported as news. I don't see why anyone should apologize for reacting to it.
When the news that Payton visited the Saints facility before the Raiders game came out, I though it would've been really bad form for Allen to allow Payton to address the team, and I didn't believe he would've done it.
However, when it was actually reported as having happened, I believed it and reacted.
Glad to hear it didn't happen. Would've been ridiculous.
