Roger Goodell was apparently unhappy that his suspensions to the Saints players didn’t work out as planned, so he decided to enact further punishment on poor suspended Sean Payton. They voided his contract, essentially making him a free agent at the end of the year. The Saints have time to try and fix the situation, but there are already rumblings about a change in Dallas.
Payton has history in Dallas. He lives there. He worked under Parcells there. He’s actually the one who helped bring in Romo to the Cowboys. He has a good relationship with Jerry Jones. The Cowboys, currently in a sort of limbo, could very well end up Jason Garrett-less very soon depending on how the boys fair the rest of the season. Many think Jerry should just give Payton a blank check.
Saints fans think this is ridiculous. He won a superbowl in New Orleans. He’s BFF’s with Drew Brees. They have a massive sign with him on the stadium right now. Loyalty has to mean something right?
All I know is that if Payton goes to the Cowboys I will cry like a baby as I plummet off a bridge while cutting my wrists. Please stay in New Orleans, Payton. I know I’ve mocked you, but please god stay in New Orleans.
For someone not vested in the Saints and who hates Dallas; it’s not so much please stay in NO – as please don’t go to Dallas, Sean.
As a fellow Dallas hater, I would also prefer he stay in NO. On the other hand, there is something to be said of him coaching the Cowboys: if Dallas manages to ruin Sean Payton, too, then it is incontrovertible evidence that the Cowboys are eeeeeevil.
Oh, don’t worry. It wouldn’t matter if Payton came to Dallas. Wouldn’t help us any. Jerry Jones is just a terrible, terrible person. He’d ruin Sean. I have never wanted Garret as a head coach and thought assigning him the position was a *HORRIBLE* move… but, truth be told, it wouldn’t matter who is coaching. Jerry will not give up his power. Whatever wins or Super Bowl victories any coach DOES manage to get out of Dallas, Jerry will act like it was his will alone that did it.
Dallas will never return to their glory days as long as Jones still puts himself front and center. ::gets more of the alcohol:: Ohhhh, that numbs the pain…
Love this comic, by the way. The Sean Payton stuff is just hilario–::passes out into a drunken stupor::
You should’ve made Bree’s on the last frame say “hell no, not Dallas” XD
For some reason Jerry Jones always has Richard Nixon’s voice when I read this. Not sure why, but I love it anyway.
