Link to an article from 2010 in which Sean Payton had been accused in a lawsuit by a former Saints employee of stealing Vicodin. He publicly denied it. Not sure where it ended up.

Clearly the guy was trying to impress a girl, but why make shit up like that? If you're going to make shit up, make up something like idea that everything is rigged. OTOH, there are certainly stories that are either true or believed to be true that he could tell. I think he chose from the second batch.

Oh no. If Payton wanted the Chiefsplanet investigative crew to avoid this story he shouldn't have agreed to coach the Broncos.

We’ve seen players hit hard but what we saw against Brett Favre was a team deliberately trying to knock a guy out of the game. And the worst part is, it worked. So nah, no love for the Jeff fisher/gregg Williams school of dirty play.

Belichick was directly responsible for spygate. Sean Payton was indirectly responsible for bountygate.

Possible, sure. But in the absence of proof color me skeptical.
