Sean Payton Garrett Wilson Jets Broncos

Sean Payton made somewhat minor news earlier this week when he revealed what he didn’t want to see from his Denver Broncos this preseason.

Among the more notable tidbits was that Payton didn’t want to see anyone wearing “Gilligan” hats and sunglasses. Also, he didn’t want them doing any interviews while a game was actually taking place.

Wilson could’ve simply enjoyed that people made the connection.

Strange, funny and absurd: The NASCAR race names you have to see to believe
What's in a name? Nowadays, for races, usually a title sponsor that graces the already long name indicating the race's location, and in NASCAR, typically the mileage of the race as well. Sometimes the sponsor names alone lend to amusing race titles — sometimes, the fans get involved and hijinks ensue.…
