Caymus 2007 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Saints Coach Sean Payton pulled a friendly prank on his former boss, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, while in Indianapolis over the weekend for the NFL scouting combine.
The Saints held their staff dinner at the historic St. Elmo Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis on Friday night, in the same private room that the Cowboys had reserved for the next night.
Apparently Payton got word that Jones had reserved a special bottle of wine for the event, the only bottle of 2007 Caymus Special Selection cabernet sauvignon in the house. So Payton convinced the St. Elmo staff to let his party have the bottle instead.
And then he added a hand-written note to the empty bottle to be left on the Cowboys' table the following night:
WHO DAT!
World Champions XLIV
Sean Payton
"He is someone that has always been good to me. It was very funny, " said Payton, who said he has a great relationship with Jones, whom he worked for as an assistant coach in Dallas from 2003 to 2005.
Payton said he stopped by the Cowboys' dinner on Saturday to laugh about the prank. Jones said he was going to bring the bottle back to Dallas as a keepsake, but the bottle accidentally got broken at the restaurant.
The Saints certainly earned their bragging rights with the first Super Bowl championship in franchise history last month, thanks to a thrilling 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in Miami.
But the Cowboys figure to be one of their toughest challengers in 2010, when their rivalry won't be quite so friendly on the field.
Dallas ruined the Saints' perfect regular season last December by handing the Saints their first loss, 24-17 in the Superdome.
The Saints will get a chance at revenge this season when they travel to the massive Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The date has not yet been scheduled.
And both teams will be vying to represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLV -- which also will be played in Cowboys Stadium.
