Sean Payton would 'put my happy-face on' if 'Hard Knocks' chose Saints
 

This year could be the show's last chance at the Saints for awhile!

Even so, Payton promised to "put my happy-face on" if the show picked the Saints. After a few moments of reflection, he said, "Who are we kidding?"

At the end of the lighthearted discussion, Payton turned serious and said there were some areas where the 'Hard Knocks' cameras wouldn't be allowed.

"I said this once at the beginning of my career: 'I'll never be videotaped releasing a player,'" he said.

I know it would be a circus and a distraction that we don't need, BUT...I wouldn't mind seeing what actually goes on at training camp.

Unfortunately, I think it's a strong possibility. I know he's not going to like it and it'll be a constant distraction. But I think Goodell will make it happen just to piss off Sean. That and his glorious press conference about staying in NOLA is going to make it something networks want.

I thought the rule was if nobody offered then they could force somebody. Id be suprised if nobody volunteers. JJ not been on tv for a while

That will never happen.

Goodell could really make the Saints go on the show?
