Just listened to Payton on Sirius on his regular Monday morning spot.
He said that he was pleased with the team and the effort this week.
They asked Payton about SF and he said that they are a good team, Nolan has them going to right way and that it's going to be tough game. He said he was looking forward to getting back into the Dome and playing better in front of the hometown crowd. He said they want to give something to the home fans to cheer about since they laid two eggs in the last two games at home.
Bob Papa then asked Payton about New Orleans since he was in town to do the Bayou Classic for NBC. Payton echoed what Papa said about the city still having a long way to go.
Gil Brandt talked to Payton a while about Dallas, and Tony Romo.
It was then revealed that the Saints tried to trade for Tony Romo in the offseason, and that WeatherNLU is a bumbling moron for not having known this information already. Payton specifically called me out and told me I needed to do a better job of weeding through the information out there.
Anyway, they talked about how before Brees came into the picture, Payton wanted the guy he groomed from day one in the NFL. He went on to say how proud he was of Tony and that he worked very hard to get to where he is. He joked that Jerry (Jones that is) wanted the second overall pick, so Payton passed.
Payton was then asked about injuries. Simoneau broke a bone in his hand but Payton doesn't think it's serious and he'll be able to play with a cast or a splint. Also, he said Colston was ready to go, taped up, cleats on and all and ran some routes in the pre-game. Payton said de-activating him was simply a deal in which Payton just felt that if they could hold him out one more game he would be closer to 100% and take less of a risk of losing him for the season by re-aggravating the injury.
That's all folks.

Glad to hear he'll be in the dome, we'll need him down the stretch as close to 100% as possible.
