Payton's arrogance was evident when he mocked the Vikings fans with the skōl chant. Karma bit him in the backside on the next play, and we all suffered.
Then they made a movie about him.
He's been an arrogant jerk for years, and I'm sure it contributed to his divorce. Maybe his ex was one of the few people who could keep him in check. I dunno.
All I can say is is that it's looking more and more like he's not the kind of guy I'd have a beer with.
