Matthew Stafford, Matt Cassel lead way in NFL Week 11 - Peter King - SI.com
ane he finds this the quote of the week ...idioticI lied. One really final note from 35-34, unless I find something else that deserves to be in here.
New Orleans coach Sean Payton was so impressed with Indianapolis' 35-34 win over New England a week ago that on Monday he dialed Peyton Manning's cell phone to congratulate him. What caused him to call was not the win. It was what Belichick did -- go for it on fourth-and-two with a six-point lead and two minutes left ... rather than punt the ball so Manning would have a chance to beat him.
The call rang into voice mail.
"Sean Payton here,'' Payton said into the phone. "Just wanted to tell you that last night was the greatest compliment I've ever seen a quarterback paid.''
Quote of the Week III
"There are New England football fans who'd support Belichick if he pledged to eradicate indoor plumbing.''
-- Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy, on the local loyalty Bill Belichick inspires.
