Sean Payton got a hefty one-year suspension from the NFL and when he appealed that suspension to Roger Goodell, he got the Heisman from the commissioner, so we knew 2012 wouldn't be a fun year for Payton. But according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, it's worse than imagined: Payton is "not allowed to have any contact with the Saints organization or anyone around the NFL." Additionally, any contact with coaching friends or members of the Saints organization must be reported to league executive Ray Anderson, which is an interesting little application of the honor code when it comes to Payton's suspension.The obvious conundrum for Payton is this: he could break the honor code and keep his fingerprints on the 2012 Saints and he could conceivably get away with it. But (in the hypothetical that he attempted to do so) if he got caught without self-reporting these violations, he might be in big trouble when reinstatement time rolls around. Source: CBSSports
This is bullcrap. He's suspended for the year, not getting paid, not allowed around the team. I get all of that. But how you gonna tell a grown butt man who he can or cannot talk to? If I was Payton I'd tell Rog to go heck himself sideways.
You are pretty much cutting out his personal relationships which I am sure over the years, he has accumulated quite a few. I agree mush...bull crap. I can see the Saints, but anyone from the NFL?!? Come on...
I heard he has a beach house that he and someone else from the NFL own together. So he can't go kick it with his boy at his own beach house? Screw dat bullcrap.
