New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has a sense of humor about his team’s playoff disaster against the Minnesota Vikings.
A Minnesota furniture store made a show of offering Payton a free couch so he could be comfortable when watching the Vikings play in the NFC Championship. The Saints coach would have been well within his rights to simply ignore the trolling, but he responded — and made sure someone got good use out of it.
Ok, enough already. I want the couch! But it's to be donated to @childrensmn along with 25k via @thomasmorstead foundation. Pulling for Zim and @Vikings.#Skol#recovering

After an ending like the one he witnessed in Minnesota, it would have been easy for Payton to simply ignore the trolling and try to move on. Kudos to him for making something good out of it.
