FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Sean Payton wore Mardi Gras beads Monday morning and the look of a man who had channeled the Bourbon Street party after the New Orleans Saints completed their stunning resurrection for themselves and their city at the Super Bowl.
Bleary-eyed and euphoric, like the thousands who flooded New Orleans's streets Sunday night in celebration, Payton was already so at ease with being a Super Bowl champion that he began his news conference by thanking the National Football League for keeping the buses running on time and ended it by throwing the Lombardi Trophy over his shoulder as if it were a Windbreaker.
