As pointed out earlier in the morning, Peter King’s MMQB column includes a picture of Jimmy Buffett wearing a “Free Sean Payton” T-shirt during a Sunday concert in New Orleans.
As it turns out, the concert also included a little free Sean Payton. The Saints coach played congas and bongos on at least one song, as shown in this YouTube video.
After reviewing the video, some would say that Payton was hitting the skins roughly as hard as Commissioner Roger Goodell wants NFL players to hit each other.

Free Sean Payton? Only with the purchase of an equal or lesser Payton.
What’s more amazing that someone made up “Free Sean Payton” shirts is that there enough idiots that will buy them. P.T. Barnum would be proud.
Not exactly a humble and remorseful act of contrition, was it?
That doesn’t seem like a very good idea when your appeal is only a few days away.
Like a boss.
John Stamos and Matthew McConaughey were unavailable for the gig.
Not a diehard parrothead, but I come from a family of parrotheads. This is damn disapponiting.
For someone who claims they have to “do 8 months of work into 3 weeks”, Payton spends a lot of time goofing off. First he is out golfing with Parcells and now this.
I guess we can expect to see pictures of him playing craps in Atlantic City next.
that’s were you belong not in the nfl
Wonder if he scabbed on this job to?
He’s no John Bonham, that’s for sure, he’s barely touching the skins.
The man has to do something to earn a living now that Goodell gave him the boot for a year.
Payton has officially become a New Orleans native. If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane.
More Cowbell!
He did it because he feels awful.
This certainly is intriguing news. Please let us know if he goes to Starbucks or takes a dog for a walk.
At least he’s hitting the skins harder than he does at home.
Jimmy had Sean working on an incentive program.
1. if he hits one drum harder than the other he gets $50.
2. if he hits a drum and tears a hole in it, he gets $100.
3. If hit hits a drum, tears a hole in it, picks it up and throws it into the crowd, $1000
Free Sean Payton? He’ll be free for the next year or so if the suspension stands…
“Wasting away in unemploymentville..looking for a team to coach. Some people say that there’s a Gregg Williams to blaaaammme, but I know (da da da da da) it’s my fault too”
Does Jimmy Buffett have an axe to grind now that his beer isn’t a part of the Dolphins stadium name anymore? My advice to him, Saints fans, and especially Payton is to stay away from Margaritaville.
Well he wont be getting any bounty $$$ after the show. Smug Payton was petting them.
Practicing when he is panhandling outside the super dome and bourbon street.
What a PUNK !!
Payton sucks at percussion.
The original percussion player was injured and unable to play when he was blindside tackled by someone who looked a lot like Jonathan Vilma.
wow… what a moron.
No one knew it was Payton behind the drums until Shockey spilled the beans.
I love it!
Wastin away again in cheaterville!
Does this mean that Payton is going to coach the Fins soon?
Im waiting for the story to break from ESPN.
This is why he’s being suspended. Hes an arrogant moron who is despised by the people that run this league. Every team has a variation of what they did going on. Payton was chosen to be the fall guy because he’s rubbed everyone the wrong way and thinks he’s above it all. Really taking it seriously Sean. Keep it up and you won’t have a job to come back too. You should be on damage control. Not parading yourself around for sympathy like your the one who was wronged.
He should be suspended from that as well!!
Keep Your Day Job.
Haha This is awesome, keep giving the finger to the rest of the nation Payton! How does this make you feel Saints haters? About as mad as when we drop 45 in week 1? Hahaha keep telling yourself that the Saints are gonna implode and the SuperBowl was tainted…cause that trophy is still in NOLA and it’s as pretty as it was 2 years ago…and last I checked the offense is still pretty freaking good…maybe the commish will make us play with 10 ppl…we’d prolly still drop a 40 spot…keep hatin though!! It’s just gonna make that who dat chant in febuary that much sweeter for NOLA!!!
No one cares about Jimmy Buffett except for dried up southern skanks and frat boys.
Speak for yourself @Skarbaroo1. Plenty of us parrotheads still around. Buffett will make more this year than you will in your entire life.
Let me guess, you are a Backstreet Boys fan!
oh, “percussion”….at first glance I read “concussion”
God I love New Orleans. No other coach would be so cool to jam on stage. All other coaches can suck it!
Sounds like he’s in another place where they can’t play either.
Glad he has a back up job he will need it this year!
This guy clearly doesn’t feel any remorse. His punishment wasn’t adequate, and he’s turned the whole thing into a farce. Mr. Benson should fire this clown.
If you want to substitute giving your relatives Fruitcake for the Holidays this year, try giving them Free Sean Payton T-shirts.
