Chinese Drywall & Sean Payton: take ’em to court baby

August 7th, 2009. By AbiK

We’ve been tracking Sean Payton’s Chinese drywall fiasco—he’s one of the few celebs who’s been notably hit by the defective drywall; We also just posted on Larry Kosakowski’s desperation call to President Obama—what else do you do when you don’t feel you’re getting any help?

This week, neworleans.com reporter Dave Lawrence conducted a post-morning practice interview with Sean Payton. Given that it’s local media—Payton’s the head coach of the New Orleans Saints—the interview questions ran the gamut from football to Chinese drywall and beyond. The most interesting aspect of Payton’s responses on the topic were his own feeling of helplessness—that he’s moved his family out of his house, removed all the defective drywall at his own expense, has been renting at another location (at his expense), and he’s still waiting like everyone else for some resolution on the situation.

Most telling quote from Payton on the Chinese drywall debacle?

“Your only recourse really is litigation.”

Hey, don’t take it from me, take it from Sean Payton—he’s living it. And if you’re considering contacting a lawyer for a consultation, the sooner the better.
