METAIRIE, La. - Sean Payton deserves a hearty 'Skol" clap for his latest gesture.
The New Orleans Saints coach took a mocking offer of a free couch from a Minnesota furniture company (so he could watch Sunday's NFC Championship Game from home) and turned it into a positive with a $25,000 donation on Friday.
Ok, enough already. I want the couch! But it's to be donated to @childrensmn along with 25k via @thomasmorstead foundation. Pulling for Zim and @Vikings.#Skol#recovering
Feeling better already.Payton drew the ire of some Minnesota Vikings fans and some media members this week after he was caught making the Vikings' signature "Skol" clap gesture toward a group of fans before Minnesota came back with one of the most stunning last-second victories in NFL history.
