What a month it's been for Sean Payton.

By my count, he's alienated the entire NFC South and is now extending his trolling campaign to further NFL precincts.

If you're keeping track, in the past five weeks Payton has:

Brandished the choke sign at Falcons running back Devonta Freeman.
Engaged in a bizarre midfield slap fight with Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter.
Broken out a broom in his post-game locker room to taunt the Panthers.
And mocked Minnesota Vikings fans from the sidelines with a Skol clap during the waning seconds of the Saints-Vikings playoff game on Sunday.
If Payton is on some kind of Make the Saints Hated Again campaign, he's accomplishing his mission.



He has single-handedly turned the Saints, one of the most likable group of players you'd ever want to meet, into the NFL's most despised team this side of New England.

Panthers fans hate him.

Falcons fans detest him.

Bucs fans abhor him.

And now Vikings fans, a group so considerate they've donated more than $200,000 to Thomas Morstead's Foundation, can't stand him.
