Report of Sean Payton taunting Viking fans confirmed to be true

It's been reported by Jonathan Jones, confirmed by Vikings players, and yes there's photographic evidence...

News of the alleged taunt crept out late Sunday night, but I dismissed it as fan fodder that had no evidence. If all those cameras inside U.S. Bank Stadium couldn’t catch the head coach doing this, in my opinion, it didn’t happen. But Tuesday morning we woke to the news—first reported by former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber—being corroborated by still images.

 

And the coup de grace?  Payton fessed up to Saints reporter Mike Triplett.

This guys a grade a douchebag. That’s why his players act like the way they do. 

"Douchebag" does tend to be the first word many people use to describe Payton.

This particular incident will go down as one of the most poorly timed choices ever.

Can’t imagine the NFL is happy about this ..would love to see some sort of discipline...just to let him know it’s not ok

Not a violation of policy.

If they punished people just for being douchebags, Payton would have faced discipline a long time ago.

Why is it not ok? If he wants to focus on getting into it with fans instead of coaching, let him. I don't see the problem other than him looking like a fool.

It was great playoff fun watching them jog their asses back onto the field after that final TD that put them on the couch for next week. I tell you the Saints were more cocky this year than ever and it starts with that piece of crap coach!

He’s the face of a multi Billion dollar NFL franchise ...taunting fans isn’t exactly In the job description. Players have been fined for giving fans the finger and whatnot . How come coaches are exempt ?

There's nothing profane about the choke symbol or the Vikings' skol thing.

That was my fav moment ... them having to come back out with their tails between their legs for the PAT. And they sent out the injured punter too. I like seeing arrogant people humbled in general

Correct.

Payton may be an a--hole, and I think a coach taunting fans or opposing players is stupid, but nothing he's done would be severe enough to constitute a violation of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.

Since they don't currently have an Anti-Douchebag provision on the books, judge rules "no violation".

      When a boy becomes a MAN!

      And those teams would lose. ------- I'm no Bryce Stan, but I have problem giving him his due. Sure, he has sucked so bad that his stats pre-benching are dragging what he's been able to do since, particularly the last three games, but to act like he hasn't actually looked like a QB with real promise for the last month is simply dishonest. All of a sudden (or not), certain Huddlers act like they have no concept of improvement---like they're suffering an inability to compartmentalize games or a group of games, or the inability to mentally separate Bryce's play when juxtaposed against the rest of the team. That's what analysis is all about. From my observation over the now decades of being here, I know that some of you can do it better than you're letting on. Just be honest about Bryce's improvement. He still may not be the future, but based upon his improvement the last month, it's rational to say that he just may have earned a chance to at least compete for the job next season. Of course he has to keep improving and show a level of consistency for the remainder of this season...

      Missed kicks, a fumble, and a defense that breaks at the very worst time killed us
