Sean Payton Wants The Entire World To Know That He Tricked The Vikings And Forced Them To Trade Up To Draft JJ McCarthy
Incredible lie here by Sean. I'm sure there were some talks, some tomfoolery if you will. It's draft season, there's always something like that. But Sean Payton patting himself on the back for tricking the Vikings into trading up a spot to get the quarterback they wanted AND giving an AFC team more picks, isn't uh, what I'd be bragging about. But, hey any time Sean Payton can troll the Vikings he will. Good thing it's never back fired on him before!
So congrats Sean! You and only you tricked the Vikings into drafting JJ McCarthy just so you could draft Bo Nix the whole time. Chess, not checkers. No one knows if it's going to work out. We don't know shit about what's going to work out the night of the Draft. But taking a victory lap for something like this. Maybe, just maybe, wait a couple years. Again, you don't have the best history here of making fun of the Vikings.
The funniest part by far is the shit-eating grin he has as he's mid-sentence. He's trying to say this was him, but wasn't sure how to twist the knife in his mind. No way Vikings fans won't use this clip if McCarthy looks the part early. I kinda need McCarthy to look the part early too. I need Sean Payton questioned about this around week 9. Need to see the gymnastics he pulls to say that's not really what he meant.
