MIAMI
It’s become clear, over the last five or six months, that the New Orleans Saints struck a perfect balance when Sean Payton put his defense in the hands of Gregg Williams, the wily, outspoken defensive coordinator who walks the walk and definitely likes to talk the talk.
So when the Saints had completed their mission on Sunday night at Sun Life Stadium, when they scored a resounding 31-17 victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, the media throng around Williams’ podium in the interview area easily exceeded Payton’s.
That’s OK with Payton, who gave up about $250,000 of his own annual salary to lure Williams, the longtime defensive coordinator, from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Payton had seen what Williams could do, not only strategically but in the locker room. Williams likes to challenge his players. Williams likes to challenge himself.
Williams likes to push the envelope.

I agree with you that it looks like the Saints have become the worlds team. I have a close friend from Texas who is a die hard Cowboys fan. Like I told him, “Americas team is not Dallas anymore, it has become a WHO DAT NATION”. There was no argument only “choice” words of disagreement. How great is it to shut up a Dallas Cowboy fan!
AMEN to that. I live in Cowboy country and they can’t stand it … all they keep talking about is the Dec. 19th win. Well, we did not need to beat the Cowboys to win the SUPERBOWL. The game was the Cowboys superbowl, one that did not matter in the larger schemeof things. They should just join the WHO DAT NATION like the rest of the world.
