At about 3 a.m., after hours of drinks and music and hugs, head coach Sean Payton picked the Lombardi Trophy up off a couch and gave a short speech. This was back in February 2010, at the Miami Intercontinental Hotel, the night the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV. In a private room, Payton, Kenny Chesney, some players and a few randoms, myself included, were hanging out. Lighting was low, and the walls marble. Half-full cups were scattered. Hair messy from people rubbing his head during hugs, Payton wore a striped shirt. He held the trophy, and with rock band Better Than Ezra thumping through the walls from the nearby ballroom, he addressed the room.
Sean Payton doesn't forget anything
