Reggie Bush Thinks Sean Payton Isn’t The Friendliest Guy On Gameday

Last week Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com published an article ripping into New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. You can read it for yourself but the main assertion was that Sean Payton believes he’s better than everyone else, especially the media, and he’s not afraid to tell them that.

And, oh yeah, that Payton calls and throws expletive-filled jabs at reporters that criticize him.

I’m not saying that report is accurate (because I don’t know one way or the other) but Reggie Bush said something to me and the rest of the media horde today that made me think parts of it may be true.

“During the week he is a normal guy, but on game day he is a different person. It is almost like he is bi-polar. He is absolutely intense on game days. You don’t want to approach him because you don’t know if he is going to snap on you. That is just him.”

And that’s coming from a player that has been surprisingly productive in recent weeks.
