"Coaching against Payton, not to mention quarterback Drew Brees, has been "a pain in my neck," Morris said.

"It makes me older," Morris cracked. "When I got this job, I was 32. I'm 46 now (he's actually 35)." "



Thats pretty darn funny!

why was this in the Charlotte paper? have they given up the "Newton for every possible award ever" campaign already?

I keep saying this -- Raheem Morris is 3-3 against Payton, but every one of those wins have weird "asterix" type stuff to them -- one time they beat us late in the season when the Saints pulled their starters in the 3rd; one time he beat us when Payton was carted off the field with a fluke broken leg, and another time they snuck one by us in overtime late in the season, because of a fluke missed field goal, when anyone with eyes could clearly tell that Sean Payton had already slammed the playbook shut in the second half, not wanting to give away anything on film to other teams because of the upcoming playoffs. We kept handing the ball off to Lynell Hamilton, our 3rd string running back, over and over, it clearly wasn't the Saints A-game offense. But any time the two coaches square off and the game actually MATTERS, Payton basically schools Raheem Morris, and makes him look like a not very good coach.

That's what I think, SaintsBro.....they may have ONE out of the three they have "won" as a legitimate true win. At least two of them have been given to them as part of Payton's strategy. Rolling eyes...whatever, Tampa Bay.
