Payton, Brees show lack of class

Found December 27, 2011 on Bear Essentials:
PLAYERS: Sean Payton,  Drew Brees,  Dan Marino
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints

Drewbrees
If anyone happened to catch the end of the Saints’ Monday night’s blowout victory over the Falcons, it was a classic example of self-indulgence and lack of class by New Orleans coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees. Already leading the Falcons 38-16, Payton and Brees couldn’t wait another week for the Saints’ quarterback to surpass Dan Marino’s single-season record of 5,084 passing yards. So the Saints ran it up on the Falcons by driving for another touchdown, primarily through the air and then the game was delayed for an embarrassing tribute to Brees, who achieved his precious individual accomplishment. read more

Moment to remember for Brees, Saints

Via Fox Sports  |  December 27, 2011
Once he watches the game replay, Drew Brees will be hard on himself. The New Orleans Saints quarterback will bemoan throwing two uncharacteristic passes into double coverage that were intercepted. He will feel just as badly about trying to call consecutive timeouts late in the second quarter, which is a Football 101 rules violation. There were 16 incompletions and three second-half...

Falcons Players Salty That Drew Brees Broke Marino’s Record in Final Minutes

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  December 27, 2011
They should be salty. Not at Brees or Sean Payton, but at themselves for allowing Brees to slice up their secondary. If I was on the Falcons I would want to come back and play the Saints in the Playoffs and take my soul back. With Drew Brees a mere 30 yards away from breaking the single-season passing yards record, Saints coach Sean Payton was presented with an interesting dilemma...

Unnamed Falcons player upset about Saints running up score

Via Shutdown Corner  |  December 27, 2011
On the way to Drew Brees breaking Dan Marino's single-season passing record, the Saints scored a whole lot of touchdowns, and the Falcons resorted to a whole lot of field goals. One writer and an unnamed Falcons player had a problem with the Saints continuing to pass when they were up by 22 points. It was a questionable decision to say the least to go for it in that manner since...
