Saints coach Sean Payton organized a beach football clash Saturday with a Cowboys-heavy guest list: quarterback Tony Romo, tight end Jason Witten and Hall of Fame signal-caller Troy Aikman. Lions linebacker Bobby Carpenter, formerly of the Cowboys, also joined in the spirited 7-on-7 matchup. "It got so competitive to where the whole beach was watching," Payton said. "A highlight for me was my son Connor caught a touchdown pass from Romo. No, he didn't spike it -- he knows better." For those wondering if Payton's beach football game violates the lingering lockout's "no-contact" policy, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tweeted in April that it does allow for "normal social interaction" between players and coaches. Payton served as an assistant with the Cowboys from 2003 to 2005 and ruffled some feathers in March when he moved his family from New Orleans to a gated community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, leading to rumors that he was eyeing a front-office position with the Cowboys.
