When asked about his response, Payton told reporters, "I can't help myself though. When I see something like that, I'm sorry, it's just, I have a pause and then it's like, 'What are you watching?'" He dismissed the criticism as "silly" and noted that Schwartz played at Oregon, the same school as Nix.
