Ryan Clark Calls Sean Payton a Thug

I don't get the big deal. Russ got paid a MASSIVE contract, they spent a ton of draft capital, and gave him a bunch of extra concessions. And for all their trouble he's been extremely disappointing. I know he's "gotten better lately", but his numbers are still nowhere near worth his contract and trade price. I would do the same. Drop this clause or see you later, because you've been a big disappointment.

I want Sean to fail as much as the next guy, but I recall the media absolutely dragging Russ last year for being awful. Now all of sudden he's some sympathetic figure because SP doesn't want to tie his tenure in Denver to a sinking anchor. And surprise surprise, ESPN is right there to blow their "racism" dog whistle.
