Sean Payton tries to shut Gregg Williams up

Though Saints coach Sean Payton has said he’s not troubled by last week’s comments from defensive coordinator Gregg Williams regarding the desire to rattle Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and, ultimately, to knock him out of the game.

But Payton nevertheless felt compelled to send a message to Williams -- and Payton did it in a humorous way.

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that, during brunch on Tuesday, Payton sent Williams a jar of peanut butter, crackers, and a glass of sand -- all tools intended to ensure that Williams will keep his mouth shut on Media Day.

Whether it works remains to be seen. The Saints will be meeting the press at Sun Life Stadium soon.
