Sean Payton announces retirement, a thank you to a New Orleans legend

Earlier in the week, Saints Head Coach Sean Payton, announced that he was “stepping away” from coaching for the 2022 NFL season and possibly the foreseeable future. This, of course, comes just one year after Drew Brees announced his retirement from the New Orleans Saints. In sports, one could argue what Walter Payton, Michael Jordan or Kobe and Magic mean to their respective cities, however in New Orleans what Brees and Payton accomplished on and off the football field, together is simply astonishing. 144 wins by a coach-QB duo is second most in NFL history, only to Brady and Belichick.
