this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 ...

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. |

Re: Payton addresses speculation, expects Cooks back with Saints
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.

It bothered me at the time, but he hasn't said or done anything since so I'm over it. Did it get blown out of proportion? Yes. But was he acting like a selfish teammate? In my opinion, yes. |
