Sean Payton Cracks a Golf Cart Joke at Russell Wilson’s Expense
Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson made news this week for an unfortunate incident on the golf course in which his cart flipped over in a sand trap while he was looking for his golf ball.
Wilson was not hurt in the incident.
His new coach, Sean Payton, held a pre-draft press conference to discuss the team’s progress this offseason, and didn’t shy away from an opportunity to take a playful jab at his starting quarterback.
“I don’t want the players to feel like they’re pulling into the parking lot coming to football practice in April,” Payton began. “That’s just not happening. So it’s great to see these guys around. Hopefully we can keep the golf carts upright. But uh, yeah, no meetings, just weight room and running.”

Payton somehow managed to keep a straight face on the delivery, while team general manager George Paton couldn’t help but crack a smile after hearing the joke from Payton.
All is well in Broncos Country heading into the draft, as the team looks ahead with optimism with a new coach in tow.
