I've got to admit that Chris makes what could be a valid point and most likely is. It was probably an escalation of one little white lie to cover another little white lie. Now, has it been blown out of proportion? Heck yes. Did Sean Payton flat out lie to the commissioner? I don't doubt it. After reading his book it's apparent that he has an ego and pushes the envelop......some would even consider him arrogant.
Personally, I love him and have some of the same tendencies.
He was aware without a doubt. This belongs squarely on Gregg Williams shoulders. Payton didn't throw his players and coaches under the bus when this came back up. The facts will come out.

Well....
Since Sean Payton still has no clue about what evidence the NFL has on this, I find it difficult for Goodell to pose a direct question regarding what evidence the NFL has found in order to lie about it.

Thats my story and i am sticking to it.
