Count Sean Payton among the thousands of anxious Who Dats who was excited to hear the news of quarterback Drew Brees' new deal with the New Orleans Saints on Friday. Because of his suspension, Payton was forbidden from having contact with either Brees or the team, but he said he was always confident a deal would get done.

"I think I said this before, it wasn't a question of 'if,' it was a question of 'when,'" Payton said. "I'm excited. I'm excited and happy for him as well as the Saints. I think it's a good deal for both parties. I know a lot of work's gone into it, with (General Manager Mickey Loomis) and (Brees' agent) Tom Condon.

"I kind of look at things in a glass-half-full way. It just came down to the last couple days, and I felt confident all along that both parties would be able to work something out, and I'm happy they did."

Hmm, how do YOU know a lot of work's gone into it? You're suspended! When I said no contact, I meant NO CONTACT!

By "No Contact" I wonder if he's afraid somebody will end up with head trauma?

How long before Godhell finds a reason to suspend Drew????? I'm guessing during preseason.
