Hello, everybody, all up in this podcast. It's Josh, what's going on? Hello. I enjoy that Russell Wilson threw some shade at Sean Payton. I just would have preferred that Russell Wilson would have gone straight up and just said Sean Peyton is an asshole because Sean Peyton is an asshole and Sean Peyton needs to be called an asshole. I think that the reason that Sean Peyton's asshole-edness annoys me, hey, because he's not my

coach anymore. so if he were the coach of the team I rooted for, I'd be totally fine with this assolateness because, like, hey, he was our asshole. But now that he's somebody else's asshole, I think he's a giant asshole. But the one thing about Sean Peyton is, Peyton always talks shit. Peyton always mocks people. Like, you'll remember, and I think I remember this pretty vividly, Sean Peyton started doing the skull thing to mock the people in Minnesota.

Like, right before Minnesota had the Minnesota miracle. Like people don't talk about that a ton And I'm pretty certain I'm right about that Sean Peyton Skull let's see All right So let's see here Sean Peyton does the skull chant

Let's see Peyton's skull clap fans Let's see good play Sean Peyton once learned a lesson well But okay so at some point And I'm trying to remember when it was It was it was the playoff game that happened Right before the Minneapolis miracle So the Saints took the late lead

it was after they ran the ball right into the middle and kicked the field goal. Then Peyton starts doing the skull chant, and then the Minnesota miracle happens. You look like a dipshit. So it got the best of you there, Sean. It got the best of you. All right. Let's play a couple commercials and we'll get into it.

But I feel like every time Sean Payton talks shit, Sean Payton ends up looking like a dummy because it always ends up going the other way. And Peyton is an extremely smug guy. And he looks even more smug now because he's old and wears readers on the sideline. Like, you can't be a cocky son of a bitch that talks shit about people while wearing a visor and readers, bro. That can't be who you are.

But that's who he is. He wears his readers and he wears his visor. And look, I was hoping they were going to lose the game to the Jets a couple of weeks ago. They didn't. I was hoping he was going to lose the game last week. It should have lost to the Giants. He should have had back-to-back losses against two terrible teams. Yet they somehow pulled those games out.

I think the Broncos suck. And yes, I'm bitter. Yes, I hate Sean Payton for leaving the Saints. Yes, I hate the fact that the Saints are garbage and Sean's at least winning some games there. Yes, that is true. Mock me for it all you want. Call me out for it all you want. It's real.

That said, Russell Wilson kind of threw some shade on social media. Let's see here. Peyton told reporters after the Broncos 3332 comeback went over the Giants, he had been hopeful the team would keep Wilson entrenched as its starter over Jackson Dart until they played the Broncos. Quote, they found a little spark with that quarterback, Peyton said. I was talking to Giants owner John Mara not too long ago, and I said we were hoping that change would have happened long after our game.

So that's a shot at Russell Wilson, obviously. So what does Russell Wilson do? Russell Wilson goes to social media and says, classless, but not surprised, didn't realize you're still bounty hunting 15 plus years later through the media. I just wish you would have come out and said, go fuck yourself, Sean Payton. That's what I would have said. I would have gone out and just find every bad thing to say about Sean Payton. I'd talk shit about the Minneapolis Miracle.

I'd talk shit about the playoff games. I would talk shit about how Drew Breeze and the Saints got lost in a playoff shootout to Alex What's his name? How am I drawing a blank on the dude's name that was the quarterback in St. How am I drawing a blank on the dudes in? It was the Kansas Chief's quarterback before Pat Mahomes. Alex What's his name? The fact that I'm drawing a blank on this, is bizarre.

Alex Smith. And it's the most common name ever. How did I draw a blank on Alex Smith? Who draws a blank on the name Alex Smith? A dipshit, that's who. But I want to talk to all that shit. I want to talk about how, hey, remember when my team, remember when my old squad, Seattle, worked you guys at home when you were a heavy favorite?

Remember all those times when we were seven and nine and beat you? I don't know that Russell wasn't the quarterback in that team, I don't believe. Or was he? Who was the quarterback of that team? How am I drawing a blank on that as well? They had to be in 2012. Was that 2012 or 2011? 2012 Seattle Seahawks.

No, no, it was the year before that, right? The year before that was 2011. They were 7 and 9 and beat the Saints. Their quarterback that year was, oh boy, he wasn't the quarterback. It was Tavarge Jackson. My bad, y'all. I don't know. I'm all over the place.

I don't know why. My point is, how about when the Saints blew it as a giant favorite in the postseason? to the 7 and 9 club. How about that one, Chief? But of course, you know, you don't get those kind of things. Because Rusty's being a little classier. Got a little bit more of a classy quality about it. Actually, I'm sorry, I take it back.

That was actually, I think, the 2000. Sorry, it was the year before that that they beat the Saints. The quarterback was Matt Hasselback of that team. Okay, now I know. Geez, I feel like I should know these things. That was also 15 years ago, and I'm old now. so I don't know what you want for me. But I would have preferred Russell just come out and said, go fuck yourself, dude.

Like, you talk all this shit. You ain't won anything without Drew Breeze. You didn't win enough with Drew Breeze. You blew a lot of playoff games and talked a lot of shit with Drew Breeze, yet you lost a lot of those playoff games. I just wish Rusty would say all the things that I'm thinking about Sean Peyton. Russ, can you do that for me, but? How hard is this? How difficult is it, Rusty?

How come you couldn't step up and just say bad shit about Sean Payton that I like to say about him because he left my team? The kind of shit you forget. Give him for when he's your coach, but the second he leaves, you're like, oh, Sean, what about this? What about blowing this playoff game, Sean? That's all I'm asking for. I don't ask for a lot. God, I, like, it's like a buddy of mine. Actually, Matt, I'll tell you, I was Matt, who's obviously in Baton Rouge.

Matt sends me a message the other day, and it was totally random. He goes, how the hell can you hate Sean Peyton? He says, you can't hate Sean Peyton. I go, yeah, I can hate Sean Peyton. I'll love him when he comes back to town and we'll talk about all the glorious things. and the playoff runs that were never going to happen again. Because I get it. The Saints are never going to be that good again.

He will always have that. Peyton will always have the fact that the Saints are never going to be as good as they were when he was the coach. It will never happen. There will never come at time that the Saints go to as many playoffs. They will go back to being the Saints, the Saints that we've known for their entire existence. That's what Sean Payton's got over all of them. There will never be five years in a row going to the playoffs. There will never be NFC championships that could or should have been.

None of that will happen. so he's got that but I'm going to sit my ass over here and I'm going to be pissed off about it and I'm going to talk shit about it and in five and ten years I might step up and say you know what bud I love you and I and I will I no doubt will we'll talk about all the glory days and we'll forget about all the giant playoff mistakes and losing to the seven and nine Seattle team and losing to Alex Smith and we'll forget about losing a home playoff game to uh to kirk cousins and we'll forget about blowing a late lead to Case Keenham and the playoffs, we'll forget about all those things and we'll celebrate the good old days. But at this very moment, as I have to sit here and watch

you go out and win with somebody else, I'm going to sit my ass here and bitch. And I wish that Rusty Wilson could have stepped up and said some more shit. Now, does Rusty suck? Yeah, he does. He's not very good. Bless his heart, he's not very good anymore. But like, it's a real shitty move, you know? Like last time, so I'm trying to remember, did Sean, I think he inherited, So when he got the job, Russ was already there on a big contract, I think. I don't know that Peyton went out and said, get the deal done to get Russ. I don't think he did. So that's a guy he inherited.

So whatever. But the idea that, like, you're still throwing jabs at him is like, bro, get over it. Like, you're an asshole. Like, I don't know. I just, I don't know. I really hate the guy. I really, really dislike him a whole lot. And I never thought I'd get to that point.

But even when I was a Saints fan, I'd watch certain things. Like when I'd watch him do the skull chant. And I'm like, game ain't over, bro. Because Sean and the Saints were the kings of that late game comeback. They take the late lead. And you're like, yes. Then you look at the clock and you're like, shit, there's 25 seconds left. We're going to lose.

And every time. I mean, go down and look at a list of those games where that happened, especially in that second great run from 17 to 21. When you watch that, or it was 17 to 20, so 17, 18, 19, to 20, that four year, you know, where they won like 12 games every damn year and were great and lost the home playoff game to Tom Brady and the empty. Superdome and lost the Nola No Call and lost on the Minneapolis Miracle and lost the home playoff game to the freaking Vikings. I would sit there and I'd go, dude, stop talking shit. It's not going to have. And then boom, they blow it.

But that's what the Saints would do. They had a game against, there's one that sticks out against the 49ers in the dome in that era where they had the lead late and then bang, bang, long pass to Kittle, I think it was boom field goal beat you I mean you could argue the Nola no call was that like the argument was made that if you just run the ball and kick the field goal whatever I disagree with that I think they made the right

call obviously they did because it was a blown call so they should have had that converted they should have had the chance to run the clock out and the saint should have been going to the Super Bowl but still and who knows I'd look at things a lot differently and Sean Payton got them back to that second Super Bowl as well they didn't and the Rams go and lose what like 10

nothing in the Super Bowl that dopes 10 3 whatever the score was you morons. Anyway, I'm not bitter or anything. You can't tell. So it's weird because I also think Rusty's a dope. But that's the thing. Rusty's one of these guys where all the people that play with him

seem to think he's a dipshit and hate him. And a lot of them hate him because he's just a doofist. And he's kind of like extremely like a white dofist basically. He's like Carlton. So they hate him for that reason. They hate him because he gets a lot of the shine when the defense was great and the running game was great. And he gets all the shine because he's the quarterback.

Well, Newsflash, Seattle. That's how it works. quarterback gets all the credit and all the blame. Congratulations on learning what a quarterback is. I know I'm all over the place here. I'm just feisty today. I'm feeling salty today for whatever reason about Sean Peyton. A lot of shit talking from a guy who, you know, looking back on it, there were some people that just found ways to win these kind of things. Like you look back on Tom Brady and you go, wow, this guy found a way to win. Or even Eli Manning. Like Eli Manning, they just found miracle ways to win these playoff games and win Super Bowls. And the Saints

found miracle ways. Basically, there was one miracle. If you want to go to, there's two. Actually, there were two playoff miracles for the Saints that come to mind. The first playoff miracle for the Saints would have been the Eagles game back in 2018, I guess it was. Whenever the Eagles are driving with Nick Foles and they're deep in Saints territory and Alshan Jeffrey drops the pass, it goes right through his hands and it's intercepted by, I think Lattimore intercepted it. And that was a lifesaver. That was a 14-0-0 game in the first quarter.

Eagles fans will know. I was sitting in the dome ready to leave. It was 14-0 ball game over, Saints rally. And then all of a sudden, here come the Eagles and Nick Foles Magic. And if that pass is completed, the Saints probably lose that game. It wasn't, so it worked out. But there was that. I mean, they've had a couple of miracles actually going.

I mean, look, there are a couple of miracles away from having a lot of disappointments. That would have been a first home game playoff loss there, which would have been a disaster. They wouldn't have even been set up for the Nola. call if that play doesn't happen. And then I think they've had one other one. I'm trying to recall it now with Peyton where there was a postseason miracle. And oh, yeah, obviously. The one that sent them to the Super Bowl, like what happens if Brett Farve is in a total

dipshit throwing an interception at midfield where there was no need to throw the ball? If that doesn't happen, the Saints probably lose that game in regulation and they never go to the Super Bowl. Then we really view Sean Peyton and Drew Brees in a different light. And I hate that, you know, the fact that he coaches the Broncos and that he's an arrogant and cock has now made me hate him and, like, question every great success the Saints have ever had. Now I hate myself for that, but anyway. All right, more to come.
