Oh look at that, your article is behind a paywall.

If you can find Antoine Winfields name on this roster for the Saints from 2009, I WON'T call your article bullshit. Pretty hard to "let" someone play in a superbowl when they're not on the roster.

But for the life of me, I don't see him anywhere.

He wasn't on the roster, why bring the Saints into this at all? He wasn't on the roster for the Colts that year either, why not go after them?

The way you worded the OP and title made it sound like he was standing on the sideline begging to play in the superbowl and Sean Payton said no.

Um no, He was at his house with his feet up watching the game like the rest of us.
