Jason Cole Didn't Watch the Seahawks-Saints Game

Jason Cole wrote a quick blurb about Sean Payton's discretion for not running up the score on the Hawks Sunday. Obviously he didn't see Brees attempt a pass into the end zone that Earl Thomas intercepted late in the game. The blurb is at the end of the article.

Give New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton some credit for discretion. Earlier this year, Payton was privately upset with Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who left Southern California after last season, for not being more supportive of former Trojans running back Reggie Bush(notes), who surrendered his Heisman Trophy in a torrent of criticism. On Sunday, the Saints put up 34 points by early in the third quarter and could have put up 50, but Payton called off the dogs.

That's pretty funny.

I love when sports writers make comments that are exactly the opposite of what really happend. The Saints last 3 drives ended in INT, Missed Field goal, INT, with the last one in the endzone with about 20 seconds to go. So they scored exactly as many points as they were capable of scoring. To bad the guy doesn’t have a comment section for people to call him out on his bullshit.

I don't expect the guy to watch every minute of 16 games

but then he shouldn’t write about the games he doesn’t watch. There was nothing about NO’s play on Sunday to suggest that they weren’t trying to run up the score. The only thing I took from Cole’s article was confirmation of this observation in the form of motivation: that Payton has some personal beef with Carroll.

Wow.

Just awful. Wow.

This wooden soul of mine, it cannot ever climb from places it has fallen: In between where light can shine. It never falls in line, it barely has a spine, like branches severed from the vine. Like it was faulty by design.
