re: Nolan Thomas Reports Payton's Ex-girlfriend Is Pregnant

...My feelings have changed. When you win big, you can do different things. Winning a Super Bowl allows you to play by different rules. Pro sports (and now major college sports) is about two things and two things only: Make money and win games. That's it. Please refrain from tossing the "we're like a family" jive in there too.

Teams toss players and coaches off rosters with a nod and a wink and players chase the money.

Coach Payton can live on Mars if he wants. If he wants to fly in on a magic carpet, do it! Just don't screw up on game days. Stock the roster and win games and make everyone some money. Heck, if he wants to text or use a twitter account to send in his game plans, that's fine with me.

Times have changed. The line at the bottom of the page is all that matters in pro sports, so what does it matter how the job gets done as long as the wins roll in? What's more important? The technique or the results?

Just don't blame the fans for reading a lil too much into this story. Saints fans have endured enough and they love hugging that Super Bowl trophy. Coach Payton hugged it with them.

They just don't like the idea of his arms around someone else's team.

That is until the winning stops and they find someone else to love.

Pro sports is not for the meek, is it?
