Does anybody besides me think this whole Zurich Classic thing was orchestrated by Payton, with this business of Ingram also conspicuously being there and not able to talk to Sean? "If I see him, I'd have to turn around and leave" and all that. It was on purpose, I think....And of course EVERY reporter asks Payton and Ingram the same question about it, it keeps it in the news and makes it look kinda humorous -- almost like slapstick comedy... It really shows how SILLY the terms of Goodell's suspension is! I actually think this was an FU to Goodell by Payton.

It's Payton's way of saying, look, I'm still here, I'm still popular, I'm not going away that easily. He's signing autographs, talking about the support of the fans, and every time he gets in front of a microphone, I think we'll see that Payton gives the same humble speech (which I thought was perfect) and he deflects it back to GOODELL and THE LEAGUE.

Golfing is the ultimate perfect metaphor for "look at me, I'm not working," and poor Sean Payton can't even do that without running into a star Saints player and a crowd of reporters, it's making Goodell and his punishment look kinda stupid. See what I mean?
