Sean Payton accused of abusing Vicodin

DEA exploring Saints case

Friday night, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported on the filing of a lawsuit against the Saints by former director of security Geoffrey Santini, who alleges that he resigned after G.M. Mickey Loomis tried to cover up the abuse and/or theft of Vicodin by two unnamed senior staff members.

Early Saturday afternoon, we reported that the two unnamed senior staff members are coach Sean Payton and assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt. (The New Orleans Times-Picayune and, subsequently, the AP confirmed our report.)

So what does all this new info mean? Possible new coaching staff for the Saints this year? If so the magic from last year wouldn't transfer into this year very well. And would hurt the Saints organization tremendously.

I hope for the best for the Aints but I'm shocked by this news, I mean why in the hell would someone break the law for Vicodin? why not stronger pain medicine if your going to steal it? I just don't get it.

sean payton is going to be fired because he borrowed hilly billy heroin to help him sleep at night.

next up, am I going to go to jail for raiding my mom's medicine cabinet every time I go to their house for dinner?

This will be a Public Relations nightmare for them, but will not get Payton fired. I am as excited about it as anyone (from a football only standpoint), but the Saints will nt be destroyed by this, no matter how much we hope it will.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
