Rams CB Marcus Peters doesn’t actually like gumbo, but he had some critiques of Asshole Face

The kick was good. The Los Angeles Rams were going to the Super Bowl. What does Marcus Peters do?
The Rams cornerback jumped and skipped across the Mercedes-Benz Superdome field in celebration, hightailing his way toward the man he’s made headlines with in recent weeks.
Peters went straight for Asshole Face.
He got up close to the New Orleans Saints coach, the guy he’s talked trash with through interviews and joked about having a gumbo date with, and had to be pushed away by Saints players such as Cameron Jordan and Rams staffers.
Jordan said he didn’t know what Peters was saying and just got involved when other Rams players came in causing unnecessary “riff-faff.”
Peters didn’t say what was said between he and Payton, but when asked about the questionable no-call on a hit by Nickell Robey-Coleman on Tommylee Lewis on the Saints' final drive, Peters criticized Payton’s decision-making.
“Just me knowing football, if their coach run the ball on first or second down they probably ain’t even gonna be sitting here talking about this,” he said.

Payton decided to throw the ball on first down at the Rams 13 with two minutes remaining in a tie game rather than running out some clock. The Drew Brees pass to Michael Thomas was incomplete, stopping the clock. Then, after the incompletion to Lewis, the Saints settled for a field goal to take a 23-20 lead with 1:45 to go. The Rams then came back to send the game to overtime.
“You give Sean McVay the ball back with 1:43 or something, we gonna score or we’re gonna kick a field goal,” Peters said. “We got it done. We got a chance to fight in overtime and we got off the field, gave the ball back to our offense. We’re like that sometimes.”
This whole ordeal stems from comments Payton made after a Week 9 45-35 Saints win against the Rams in which Saints receiver Michael Thomas had seven catches for 146 yards and a game-sealing touchdown against Peters.
Payton said he liked the matchup of Thomas against Peters, which led to Peters saying:
"Tell Asshole Face to keep talking that s---. We're going to see him soon, you feel me? Because I like what he was saying on the sidelines, too. So tell him to keep talking that s---, and I hope you see me soon. We're going to have a nice little bowl of gumbo together."
Earlier this week, though, Peters downplayed the entire feud, saying he has a lot of respect for Payton and the Saints. He said he loves the competitor Payton is.
“We ain't trying to talk about no gumbo,” he said. “We can talk about all that stuff afterwards."
Rams' Marcus Peters says ‘we ain’t trying to talk about no gumbo’ this week against Saints
Saints and Rams play Sunday for NFC title.
Afterwards, Peters did just that. He ran around the field waving his arms and screaming, “Let’s eat gumbo.”
When asked in the locker room about eating some gumbo, Peters laughed and clarified his food taste.
“I don’t even eat gumbo. I was just bulls----ing,” he said. “I like goulash, really, though. I like red sauce. I like goulash, no seafood, just a little bit of shrimp .... Maybe goulash will be my bowl for the night.”
The Rams did succeed in containing Michael Thomas throughout Sunday’s game. They mixed up coverages and switched Peters and cornerback Aqib Talib on Thomas often. Thomas finished with Peters both said they were able to control Thomas well.
“Totally different gameplan,” Talib said. “Totally different approaches to the game ... We had a great gameplan. Everybody was super excited with the gameplan all week, and we did a great job of executing.”
Peters was short with the media after the game, only speaking for about two minutes, but Talib had some fun with him about his love of goulash.
Talib, in fact, wanted the local cuisine.
“(Expletive) all that,” he said. “I’m eating some gumbo.”
