New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton effectively motivated his players before a 52-14 stomping of the Cincinnati Bengals, but he may have gone a little too far in pregame theatrics. Per Josh Katzenstein of the Times-Picayune, klaxons rang throughout Paul Brown Stadium for about 15 minutes before kickoff. So Payton smashed an alarm in the visiting locker room to draw his team’s attention before kickoff.

Vandalism and criminal damaging are felonies in Ohio punishable with up to 12 months in prison, or a $2,500 fine. The Bengals staff notified local authorities of the destroyed fire alarm, but it’s unclear whether they will take action. Payton and the Saints are already on an airplane returning to New Orleans, per player social media posts.

Football coaches are known for their over-the-top motivational tactics, though hyping up players usually doesn’t involve vandalism or property destruction. But hey, it worked, and the Saints won a game some fans feared could trip them up. What’s a year in prison if it brings New Orleans another Super Bowl?
