New Orleans Saints Had The Perfect Response To The Falcons’ Jab About Kevin James Playing Sean Payton

It was announced recently that actor Kevin James will be playing Sean Payton in a comedy about the year Payton coached his sons football team due to the ‘bountygate’ scandal.

The Saints’ division rival, the Atlanta Falcons, threw a lil jab at the idea of the slapstick comedian playing Sean Payton in a movie.

While the joke seemed rather harmless, the Saints still did not hold back on the Atlanta Falcons after their attempt to mock Payton.

So, they added their coaches face to another one of Kevin James’ projects, the sitcom “King Of Queens”. Obviously,  they changed up the words a little bit.

I doubt Atlanta will have much of a comeback to that one. While the jokes are all well and good, winning speaks louder than anything. And Sean Payton has done a whole lot of winning against the Falcons during his time with the Saints.

Sean Payton is 20-8 against the Falcons during his highly successful run with New Orleans. Now, he’ll look to do it without Drew Brees as his quarterback. It should be an interesting time for the Falcons-Saints rivalry.

P.S- “King Of Queens” is a hell of a sitcom. I’d highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. Hopefully Kevin James can do half as good with his Sean Payton movie.
