Whats this deal about Pierre and Payton not seeing eye to eye, nola.com reported it yesterday. This is the last thing we need right now, a player of pierres caliber is too good to lose, somethings a miss here!
On a different note, its good that reggie is coming back soon!

If the absence of a denial by Sean Payton is the equivalent of an admission of what was reported Sunday by Fox Sports, then Payton should be embarrassed.

If the New Orleans Saints' coach is bothered that running back Pierre Thomas hasn't yet recovered from his ankle sprain - high or low, depending on who's giving the prognosis, apparently - and shared that displeasure with Fox Sports rather than with Thomas, who genuinely appeared to be surprised by the assertion, then Payton should ask himself what he'd think of a player who did something similar.

On Monday, when asked about the report, Payton could've called it a lie and the reporter a liar. He could've said that, while the team obviously wishes Thomas was back sooner, that the injury was more severe than believed, or that everyone heals at a different rate, or that Thomas won't perform at peak efficiency unless he totally is healthy so he'll be given time to get there.

He could've said any of that.

He didn't.
