Sean Payton's Motivational Speech To College Football Team

As you're surely aware, Sean Payton is suspended as New Orleans Saints head football coach for the entire 2012 NFL season, following "Bountygate". And on Thursday, Payton put his free time to good use by giving the University of North Texas football team a great motivational speech, as they prepare to play No. 3 LSU on September 1st.

Here's a couple of notable excerpts from Payton's speech:

"You're a week away from playing and no one in Louisiana gives you a chance in that game. And really no one gave (the Saints) a chance in that Super Bowl. You can go through the history of sport, that's why you play it."

"What you're getting ready to accomplish you're going to look back on and very quickly, people won't reference North Texas football in the nineties, late eighties. It's here. Same scholarships, same playing field, same recruiting time, a few difference makers and a few guys that believe. That's it."

And here's video of the speech:
