In his new book, “Coaching Confidential: Inside the Fraternity of NFL Coaches,” New York Daily News columnist Gary Myers has some excellent nuggets about some of the best in the business.
There is a meaty chapter about the rise and (for now) fall of Saints coach Sean Payton. Some of it has to do with his arrogance, which contributed heavily to the bounty scandal.

Well, its been a while since the Globe made its obligatory Spygate reference. My sense is that Marty Baron and the rest of the subscrition building genius like executive staff, were leaving more voicemails for Bedard to bring up Spygate again than Karl Rove did imploring Ohio voters to get out and vote. Let's see, the Patriots are 5-3 and primed for a great run while the Red Sox suffer John Henry's financial disaster and sign no one that can help. So its quite predctable that the Globe, with Bedard taking on the role of Bartleby the Scrivener,to trot out once again (I have to think the Globe staff believes we are stupid, senile or short on memory) trite and discredited stuff in the hope we are all as gullible as Fox News adherents. Gee, the Red Sox signed Ortiz the other day and not one word from Cafardo or Abraham about Ortiz's inclusion in the Mitchell Report, no mention of his lying about it and then magnifying the lie when Ortiz promised to hold a press conference to CLEAR HIMSELF. (don't hold your breath) No mention that the Red Sox won two series with the two best players on the team charged with using PED's. Thanks again, Bedard, for reminding us how credible you and your paper are.
Small edit. Its the Sports Section , led by "Tweeter of the Year", Joe Sullivan that I refer to below. Not the news or editorial section. The sports section is an unqualified embarrasment.
