Sean Payton opens up about why he left the Saints (merged)

I'm glad Payton has the guts to call out roger like this. Someone has to do it.

It wasn't so much that the Saints were heavily penalized and lost the "jump balls." The proof is in the fact that our opponents were never penalized, even teams that were otherwise highly penalized. Tripplet wrote an excellent piece on this while he was still at ESPN, I think. We ranked near the bottom of the league for penalties called against our opponents for several years is a row, which is a much more subtle way that officials can control the outcome.

When Payton hangs it up for good, he better write a "tell all" book. If he's willing to call roger out while he's still coaching, imagine what he'll say when he's beyond roger's reach. :oops:
