[View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Rarely do active coaches speak so freely, which is what makes Sean Payton's comments about the Jets more remarkable … Could Rose Lavelle seeing an uptick in minutes give the USWNT a boost? … and more! If only National Football League coaches would stop toeing the line and speaking in vague cliches. Why don't they just tell us exactly what they think? If only … wait, Sean Payton did what? Got it. Payton has never pulled many punches, and his time as a television analyst before returning to coaching with the Denver Broncos often made for enjoyable fare. Even so, his eruption this week, launching into a blistering round of criticism aimed at former Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett and Hackett's current employer, the New York Jets, was on a whole different level. Stuff just got real. No one is entirely sure why that is the case, but it is an indisputable fact. The Broncos and Jets weren't particularly relevant rivals a few days ago. Now they hate each other with vitriolic fervor, and the Week 5 matchup that will see the Jets head to Denver has suddenly become one of the most anticipated games of the entire campaign. Payton did a lot of unloading in an interview with USA Today football writer Jarrett Bell, so we'll touch upon the explosive highlights here.
