ESPN obviously didnt read the suit. Because Payton isnt accused of stealing anything

Its a big deal because its Vicodin not children's tylenol.

Joe Vitt(lb coach) got caught 3 TIMES, supposedly on camera, stealing vicodin pills.

The former FBI guy(Saints head of security) comes to GM Mickey Loomis about it. Loomis tells him not bother with it. FBI guy says that would be a felony. Loomis then reports it to the authorities. This happened a year ago

Now the FBI guy is suing saying he was basically pressured to quit.

One key element is missing. Santini demanded 2 million from the Saints or he'd sue. The Saints said, 'go ahead, sport. sue us'

Basically a team doctor said he thinks Payton might have been using enough pills that it could have been seen a problem. I guess enough that he couldve been hooked on them. But he isnt accused of stealing them like ESPN said

They need to fire Vitt's arse and move on. The Saints need to tell ESPN to shut the frick up about Peyton.

Sean Payton should have had no problem getting a Dr to write him a rx for vicodin if he needed it.

Reading between the lines it seems like the doctor that gave Payton the pills is the same doctor that says Payton could be hooked on them.

Isn't there a doctor / patient confidentiality?

I guess there should be. But the team doctor is mentioned by name in the suit as one of the people giving up info

They just started their report by saying Payton and an assistant coach were accused of stealing and abusing pills. Then Rachel Nichols talked about how he was dodging questions.

they have him and Vitt on camera, I would say some charges would be comin soon, wouldn't you? the camera shows Payton abusing Vicodin like a MF'er.

the thing is I could see if they were Dr. prescriptions, but these drugs were stored in a cabinet on the Saints facility, and him and Vitt made regular trips to that cabinet, a camera doesn't lie.

I always thought his eyes looked sleepy

now I know why.
