Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints

It wasn't what he said that bothered me, it's the fact that he said it after we won by 28 points.

I'd understand if we lost the game and Cooks believed he could help, but after a 28 point win you should be happy. Yet he sat there wondering about his lack of stats.

Doesn't mention stats or looks, doesn't badmouth Brees or SP, doesn't say me-me-me

“It’s one of those things, as a competitor, I was frustrated. But at the same time, our offense was moving the ball and we won the game, so that was the bright side of it,” Cooks said, via ESPN.com. “I’m just thinking from a competition standpoint, I always want to help, I feel like, and I necessarily didn’t that game. I feel like from my mindset, when I touch the ball, things happen, and I just want to help my team in that way.”

That was blown WAY out of proportion. You rely far too much on the hack media who get paid to spin everything to create controversy. It wasn't Cooks you were tasting ... it was those foul media hacks.

Actually, the Saints didn't bring Colston in to talk to Cooks. That was another falsehood spread by a media *****. Colston and Cooks were close the whole time and they had talked weekly since Colston left. Once again, don't believe the crap you read unless you do a little research first.

That wasn't what he said at all. He basically said he was frustrated because he wasn't able to personally help the team win. There was no mention of stats. It was totally innocent.
