I love Payton but his comments about “baiting Minnesota” to trade up just goes to show how he cares just as much about proving how smart and right he is as he does actually winning.

I think his arrogance and pride cost us some additional titles with Brees

He was constantly doing stuff like this too. The Choking gesture he did to the falcons and then lost was some of his finest work.

Remember when he orchestrated the trade of a future sixth rd pick to get Tommy Stevens in the 7th to prevent Carolina from drafting or signing him as an UDFA? I remember him saying something like while he thought Stevens had some upside, he also did it to frick with Carolina. Stevens was on the PS for two months, got cut, and signed with Carolina the next day anyway.

I know it was a low risk/cost move and Stevens never amounted to anything in the NFL, but it’s the kind of stupid crap he would pull at times.

Especially the play calling on the last drive in regulation before the no call. Didn't make the Rams burn any timeouts.
