08:44 AM ET 07.28 | The scowl of suspended New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton will follow everyone in the organization any time any member of the team steps foot inside the indoor practice facility this season. The team added a billboard-sized picture of Payton hung high along the eastern end of the facility Thursday night as a surprise for Friday afternoon's practice. It's a picture of Payton's face in an intense moment during Super Bowl XLIV and the slogan "Do Your Job" is plastered in all white caps across the bottom of the photo. Interim coach Joe Vitt said it was all Saints owner Tom Benson's idea.

Maybe they should pipe in recordings of him as well followed by "The Great Oz has spoken."

Until Goodell makes every stadium in the NFL hang the same sized billboard of him saying "I'M WATCHING YOU."

Good Morning Boys, The Saints are going to need a lot more than Paytons Ugly Picture!

So somewhere in the basement of the Super Dome he is behind a curtain.

Only as long as he doesn't use a team entrance.

I wouldn't beat the farm on that. Benson seems to have fallen out of love with the comish.

Just can't see the Saints doing too much this year with all the drama and personnel gone.

I can't count them out just yet, that team has a giant chip on it's shoulder, that might just be what they need to succeed...

With their chips and Miami's salsa they should come to my house on Sundays this season. We can all enjoy some football then.

Right, because all this is Goodell's fault.

I would put them in the roll of spoiler this year. There is some dangerous talent there and no expectations to do other than get better for next year.

With you on that. Although there are some that believe so. I don't like Goodell's way of dealing with everything himself but the Saints created their own Katrina with all of this. I'm wondering what's become of the wire-tapping incident as well.

A month ago, I read that the Saints hired Louis Freeh's law firm to investigate the claims. I haven't read anything else about it since then. If the poop hits the fan on that, too, I'm sure it will be just as messy.
