Looks like Payton is enjoying himself!
 

Look closely in the window to the left. You can see Goodell's wife peaking around the corner....

That is exactly what he needs to do. Enjoy life... treat it like a vacation.

...And the more you get seen and in the press for it just has to rub Roger the wrong way, lol.

****, if I was Payton, I would be thrilled to take a year off. It's not like his job is in jeopardy.

Bonding with men, though.........alrighty then.....


EDIT: Saw the pic, dude is just hanging out (NOT BONDING) with other dudes. Bonding makes it sound weird.

Looks like Tebow on Payton's right..

Actually, he is just posing for a picture with what is probably a group of strangers. My son and his buddy's ran into Payton last summer at Six Flags in Arlington, Texas. He was there with his kids and spent several minutes talking with my son and his friends and also posed for a picture with them. He was waiting for his kids who were on a ride at the time.

Good point.

Well, he does lose something like close to $7M in the process, so it's not all smiles and giggles.

He should be careful, Goddell might send in someone that could get him more time off. A setup.

Awesome. I want to drink with him!
