Sean Payton Shades Eagles After Question on Saints' Special Teams Signings

Some say you shouldn't kick others when they're down. decided to hit the Philadelphia Eagles with some Sweet Chin Music.

The coach threw some shade at the Eagles during his Wednesday meeting with reporters when asked if the team's signing of kicker Blair Walsh and long snapper John Denney to their practice squad this week was similar to Philadelphia's signing of quarterback Josh McCown earlier this season.

"Yeah, we're not looking at the Eagles for any model," Payton quipped.

The Eagles and Saints have a rivalry that includes three playoff matchups in Payton's tenure (all New Orleans wins), but this seems like a comment on Philly's current state of affairs.
