Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, who announced his retirement from football Friday, appears to be rooting for the New Orleans Saints.

After the Saints knocked off the Cardinals 45-14 in the divisional round of the playoffs, Warner sent Saints Coach Sean Payton a box of brownies, congratulating the Saints on the win.

After Sunday’s 31-28 overtime win against the Vikings in the NFC championship, Warner shipped another box of treats.

It was a classy move by a classy player, Payton said.

“After the game last week we got a box of Fairy Tale Brownies sent from Kurt Warner just congratulating us,” Payton said. “Today I got another box. He said it was good luck for you last week, so here’s another box.

“My wife told me to leave the brownies at work, she doesn’t need them anymore. But he’s had a special career. I think this league’s better having had a Kurt Warner play in it.”
