According to Fox 59/CBS 4’s Mike Chappell, the Indianapolis Colts have refuted a report by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora earlier on Sunday that the team expressed interest in New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton recently this offseason.
Specifically, Colts chief operating officer Pete Ward spoke to Chappell and vehemently denied the report:
“It’s totally fictitious,’’ said Ward via Chappell. “This is the age of false information. It’s believable.”
“I told him (La Canfora) it was BS,” added Ward.
