At the SB, Sean Payton wore a black button with "TD" on it. What does 'TD' mean? I know it isn't touchdown.

It's a gentleman's name. I forget what that name is, but he was an inspiration to the team all year. Sean mentioned it in the next day press conference after the Super Bowl. He wore it at more than just the Super Bowl this year, as I'd seen it on him before.

I think it means touchdown. When they need to score, he pressed the TD button. Sorta like those easy buttons in the commercials, but in real life.
 

Thank you! I Googled his name and this is what I found:

NFL exec Tim Davey dead at 58


"Tim Davey, the NFL's director of football operations, has died. He was 58.
Davey was an employee of the New York Jets and the NFL for a total of 33 years. He died on Wednesday.
Davey joined the NFL in 1991 in the league's game operations department. He supervised the logistics for stadium communications systems for teams and sideline personnel. He also served as the league's coordinator of stadium operations and field matters, and was in charge of operations at AFC and NFC championship games and led Pro Bowl operations, working closely with the coaching staffs and players.
"Tim was beloved by all of us for his tremendous work ethic and passion for his job and the NFL," commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday. Goodell first worked with Davey in 1983 when Goodell interned with the Jets.
Davey was with the Jets from 1974-1988 as an athletic trainer.
"Everyone that knew Tim loved him for many different reasons," Goodell said. "His talent, his commitment to doing the best possible job in anything he did, his sense of humor, his love of sports, kids, family, and the fact that you could always count on him as a colleague and friend."

The article is dated 2-8-10 and says that Davey died Wednesday. So that means he died a few days before the Superbowl. In Payton's press confrence he say's that he met Davey at a Pro Bowl gane and was impressed and inspired by him, by his committment to the game.
