On Friday night, the Saints' staff at the combine gathered in a private room at St. Elmo Steakhouse, an 108-year-old Indy landmark, for a final celebratory nod to the Super Bowl win over the Colts. This is a group that likes its wine, and likes to have fun.

At the restaurant, word passed that Dallas owner Jerry Jones would have his Dallas group in this exact room Saturday night for a team dinner. Jones had even phoned ahead, according to a waiter, to make sure a magnum of a wine he loved, Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon, was ready to be served at dinner.

Sean Payton told the waiter he'd like to have that wine, too. The waiter told him: Sorry, sir. We have only one bottle left, and it's reserved for Mr. Jones.

Payton said he'd like to have the bottle nonetheless. I assume there was much angst on the part of the wait staff at that point. My God! Who do we piss off? One of the most powerful owners in the NFL, or the coach who's the toast of the NFL, the coach who just won the Super Bowl?

Here came the bottle of Caymus Special Selection, and the Saints' party drained it.

But drinking Jones' wine wasn't enough. Payton gave the waiter some instructions, took out his pen ... and, well, the Cowboys party found at the middle of their table the next evening an empty magnum of Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon, with these words hand-written on the fancy label:

WHO DAT!
World Champions XLIV
Sean Payton

That's the kind of thing Jones will get a big laugh out of. And remember.

Who does Sean Payton think he is?

Your organization is still the lowly New Orleans Saints. You have a long way to go to even approach the majesty of the Dallas Cowboys.

Be humble and stay in your place.

Not that I give a damn one way or the other, but didn't the Cowboys beat the Saints last season? All JJ has to say is "scoredboard."

You're supposed to take the bait and run with it. Not warn everyone that it's a bait post.

You're no fun.

It's actually my favorite thing about this message board when someone baits the masses into going apeshit. Thats why I am probably one of the few people that enjoys Coach34 posts, I think 95% of his **** is purely to get a rise out of people.

But, to my (and I'm pretty sure his) continued enjoyment, some people just can't help themselves... They've become obsessed.

If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever to get a "fix" of something, to its own detriment, then one must conclude that apeshit responses to his posts are more addictive than cocaine.

was a shrimp cocktail. I mean REALLY? You are betting the mayor of NEW 17ING ORLEANS seafood when you are in the middle of the midwest? Tickets to the Indy or Brickyard 500. That I see, but shrimp cocktail?

I've had shrimp cocktails from some of New Orleans' finer establishments, but none of them stand out like the ones at St Elmo's. Unforgettable.

The Saints just one the big game and the "boys" struggle to even win a playoff game. I agree that Payton should not have done this but come on. The Cowboys are lightyears behind the saints right now.

The only team the Saints couldn't beat this year. If they played 10 more times, the Cowboys would win 11.
