Sean Payton is "Mr. Positive"

Payton's return to the New Orleans Saints' sidelines will be one of the biggest storylines throughout the 2013 regular season. But in many ways, his return to coaching already is in full swing.
Payton is setting a tone that looks to get past all things "Bountygate," rather than use his exile as a motivating factor.
Harrison: Top 20 Games of 2012
The 2012 season was one for the ages. Which games will be remembered the most in NFL lore? Elliot Harrison gives you the Top 20.

"I think the early returns on Sean Payton's enthusiasm and verve for the New Orleans Saints job are extremely positive," Peter King of SI.com wrote Monday. "He's Mr. Positive, from what I hear, instead of Mr. Bitter."
That assessment dovetails with everything coming out of the Saints' facility. Punter Thomas Morstead told the Times-Picayune recently that Payton had some "negative" energy that was pent up on his first day back at work, and then moved on.
"He got it out. Then it was, 'Let's roll,'" Morstead said.
Linebacker Martez Wilson said having Payton back felt like "being out of prison." The coach has changed much of the Saints' conditioning program.
"A lot of positive energy," Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief said of Payton. "Too much energy. Holy cow. Yeah, he's revved up. And it'll be good for us. ... You know, it feels normal again."
It's been a while since things have been normal in New Orleans

I wonder if Payton is incorporating some Crossfit stuff into their strength & conditioning

And somewhere in Atlanta, a falcon is trembling.

This made me laugh.

Yes he is. Should be able to find an article on nola.com about it.
From what I can tell, it wasn't a pure crossfit routine(obviously) but a small addition of much more high intensity work outs with lots of competition among different groups, etc.
