Halo is a smart guy. I have to wonder why it took this long. :P

No One can resist the power of the Dark Side

What I like about the interview is he started out just frustrated then completely degenerated into the guy we've all come to know and love. Aaron "It is what it is" (I yam what I yam) Brooks.

How does Benson let this guy near a uniform next week?? Probably the same way Benson makes it easy to get refunds on tickets, answer phones, or stand up for the people in the Gulf South who need a leader - close his eyes and hope the problem goes away.

rich006 12-13-2005 01:06 AM

The thing that's most disheartening to me about this interview is that it makes it even less likely that any team will trade anything worthwhile for this guy. It's not so much that he's a moron (which he is), but mainly that he has no character. And anyone who hears that interview will know it.

Seriously, if you listen to this and feel the need to defend this guy you are stupid.

How about this Mr. Brooks, you belong to an elite group of millionaires who exists merely because of their physical abilities.

AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE THERE.

SO… Pick up your paycheck and shut your mouth.

Compare your paycheck to the people who lost everything and will never go home again.

Go practice in the back of Micky D's and change at the freaking high school beseball field...

Afterward, go to the paycheck window AND PICK UP YOUR CHECK AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH MORON!!!

NOBODY CARES BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT GOING HOME AND SITTING IN THE JACUZZI AT NIGHT. PLAY FOOTBALL, SHUT UP!

Wow. Seeing Halo go off like this is, strangely, kinda cleansing. Means I haven't been just baying at the moon all this time. :twisted:

GPC2 12-13-2005 09:05 AM

Will anybody attack Mitch Berger or the other 51 players on the roster who seem to feel the same way Brooks does or will y'all just continue to attack him? Just a question.

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 09:08 AM

Wow, I wonder who this could be. :roll:

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 09:14 AM

Just to play along though, this is an interview with Aaron Brooks. Why should we talk about Mitch Berger and 51 other players? Do you have 51 other video clips you'd like to post for us to discuss? If so, please do so. And wouldn't it be 52 others? Rosters are 53 players. But you don't have to answer BOB, I am sure things will be straightened out shortly.

GPC2 12-13-2005 09:18 AM

No, but if you click on the stories on this website and others, you can find numerous other stories with Saints players venting frustrations about the conditions that the Saints have been in this year. That's why I brought up Mitch Berger (who commented on some Canadian sports site) and the other 51 players.

GPC2 12-13-2005 09:19 AM

Mitch Berger + Aaron Brooks = 2
51 + 2 = 53

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 09:20 AM

So no, you don't have 52 other clips to discuss? Okay. If you do, it's real easy to make a new thread. And without the spelling errors, I don't think you are BOB, so I apologize, Billy.

GPC2 12-13-2005 09:26 AM

As I stated, there are numerous articles, and have been numerous television interviews where Saints players and Haslett have expressed frustrations. Are radio clips the only thing that count for this discussion?

BOB?

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 09:34 AM

Post them Billy. Stop beating around the bush. If there are numerous interviews, POST THEM. Brooks has a history of making stupid statements in interviews, is there any wonder he would do it again? He's a moron. One that we won't have to suffer with too much longer thankfully. But THIS THREAD is about HIS INTERVIEW and so are the SUBSEQUENT COMMENTS. If you would like someone else discussed, Joe Horn perhaps, you can use the NEW THREAD option. Jesus.

DblBogey 12-13-2005 09:36 AM

That was simply amazing . . . I cannot think of the appropriate words to describe what I just heard come from the mouth of what is supposed to be the leader of our team. The only one he didn't ping was the mascot. I have heard illiterates that sound more intelligent. It is no wonder we have the record that we have. If they don't can AB after this season and we fans continue to support such idiocy it makes us as big of idiots. I have been a fan since the beginning, but had some fallout back in the Bobby Hebert days. I have not been as rabid fan since, but continue to greatly care for the team and follow them. But if AB and Haddit are there next year I will seriously question my continued support. It seems like the team has sunken as low as they ever have. I cannot say the old battle cry "wait till next year" anymore, but will remain an idiot and continue to hope for something better, pray for Bradshaw to by out Benson, Pete Carrol to replace Hadditt and draft Linehart. Oh well if we don't have hope what do we have?

APSaintsfan 12-13-2005 09:55 AM

I don't talk often but here I go. Brooks needs to go. I cannot believe this s***!!! If Adrian McPherson is anything like this too, get rid of him also. Would even Leinart even come here???? Or Bush? (No not President Bush either) Somebody would have to come here and want to pick up the pieces and help rebuild not this damn loser. What is he getting paid?? 6 Mil? I wish we could get some nobody that would rise out of nowhere and bring us back to respectability. By the way, BOB, please for the love of GOD quit defending him he is not worth it.

GPC2 12-13-2005 10:06 AM

Berger: http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story.asp?id=146349
Multiple Players: http://www.nola.com/sports/t-p/index...3522319820.xml

Those are two examples, I don't feel like searching for more. If you are in San Antonio like your user info indicates, then you don't see the news here in New Orleans, so you haven't seen the numerous interviews where players have vented frustrations about the current situation.

If there is something in particular that Brooks said that has you thinking he's an idiot, then we can discuss that, but the prevailing attitude is just that nobody likes Brooks, so anything he says or does makes him an idiot.

I simply am saying that this interview sounded like an interview of a player on a 3-9 football team that has consistently underachieved for years that is going through serious upheavals.

GPC2 12-13-2005 10:08 AM

What is BOB?

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 10:10 AM

And you made that clear on another board as well Billy. But it's BS. And what does where I am located have to do with anything? In case you aren't aware, the Saints are currently HQ'd in San Antonio. I probably see more interviews than you. That's a silly comment to make. But clearly, WHO CARES? This thread is about Brooks and his interview, and people feeling his comments are moronic. Sorry that puts a bee in your bonnet. You have been beating this blame other players drum for far too long Billy for me not to know it's you. Give it a rest. If you wanna think Brooks is an Einstein in hiding, good for you. To others, he's a moron, and this interview just vindicates that feeling. You aren't gonna change any minds, so take your Brooks' defenses back to SR.

jrmllb 12-13-2005 10:23 AM

I think we can honestly say that none of the players are particularly happy with the situation, but none of them are contributing bonehead interviews and I think maybe AB is saying stuff like he is gonna quit if they move again because I think he knows he may not be playing at least for this team next year

jrmllb 12-13-2005 10:27 AM

I loved the MNF spot last night on the other qb's that came out the same year as AB, but I have to say that given the same opportunities Akili Smith and Tim Couch could have done just as well, poorly rather as AB

Agree or Disagree?

GPC2 12-13-2005 10:37 AM

You obviously have me confused for someone else, because I don't post on ANY boards - I generally don't like to go back and forth with other fans.

Now, if we are discussing Brooks' interview, fine. Give me a SPECIFIC comment that Brooks made that makes him moronic. Don't speak in generalities.

...and we'll go from there.

GPC2 12-13-2005 10:39 AM

Kick Returner, what SPECIFICALLY makes the interview boneheaded. Y'all are speaking in generalities, be specific, then we can have a basis for discussion.

When I saw that spot, I thought they were making fun of us for sticking with Brooks this long, by showing all the other QBs who are out of the league. LMAO!!! This bum should be right there.

Sure Billy. Whatever you say. I'm done with this.

xan 12-13-2005 11:06 AM

Brooks' tone is petulant and whiney. His choice of words (for lack of a better phrase because I believe that English is difficult for him) suggests that he's not the leader of the team, but just a poor guy being dissed for no good reason. His answer to the final question on Haslett and his finale of "It is what it is" could be one of the more memorable disasterous interview lines of all time.

I'm surprised he didn't say "It be what it am"

jrmllb 12-13-2005 11:08 AM

I think they were making fun of us in a sort of "Do you get what we are trying to say?" kinda way...I'm ready to see the next QB for the rest of the season and I don't mean Bouman, they need to evaluate A-Mac in a game not in training camp, in training camp everyone looks good, example AB vs. Blake!

In respose to the comment that we are not talking about anything specific in AB's interview, how about a paraphrased reading between the lines quote "WAAAAA WAAAAAA WAAAAAA (i suck) I WANNA GO HOME, BENSON IS MEAN, COACH YELLED AT ME WAAAAAA WAAAAA WAAAAA, THE BLACK AND GOLD GUYS THINK I"M DUMB AND SHOULD NOT PLAY ANYMORE WAAAA WAAAA WAAAAAA"

Seriously AB thanks for the memories and (our playoff victory), I wanna see something I have not seen this year, example I'm tired of seeing you sitting on the sidelines laughing while our D tries to keep you in the game, I'm tired of watching Horn, Stallworth, Hakim, and Henderson coming back for underthrown balls and getting their heads spun around, Show me something to entertain me HAZ to keep me watchin and believin', show me A-MAC vs. Carolina or Detroit, I know our D is can make Harrington look like a fool but I wanna see A-Mac run wild on their D, I wanna see more A-Train and ASmith stiff arm some more safeties and plow for 12 yards

Anyone else just wanting to see something else?

Exactly what I thought. It was like, there are first round picks from that draft who have been bounced, and you guys are still sticking with Brooks? Too funny.

In other words, you continue your OPINION that you and everybody else has obviously held for years about him. What SPECIFICALLY makes him an idiot? Why are you questioning the man's intelligence? If he was a crybaby, why hasn't he had this type of interview before? ....and again what did he say that the other 51 (PLUS MITCH BERGER) haven't said?

Let's be specific. I understand that none of you like him and that's fine, we are all entitled to like and dislike, but what SPECIFICALLY can you say to back up your talk about him being an idiot and a moron?

FrenzyFan 12-13-2005 11:35 AM

I am simply furious. No fancy adjectives - just furious.

I am an older man, and I haven't seen any physical violence in my life in decades (not since the Army). Listening to that ignorant, illiterate, and classless fool makes me want to pop him in the teeth. How dare he pretend that he knows ANYTHING about hardship this year?

My office was completely destroyed by the hurricane. Everything I owned in my professional environment was taken away by the storm surge, never to be seen again. I am in a temporary facility as I write this, and I have no idea when any new buildings will even BEGIN being constructed. There are no assurances that my job will even remain next year - let alone where I will be working it. Nevertheless, I am thankful to be working and being paid so that I can provide some kind of Christmas holiday for my daughter.

I am expected and required to continuously put out great product. To do any less, I feel, is a stain on me. I don't make excuses for when I screw up and I don't whine because things aren't going my way. You know why? I pass the tent cities on my way to work - seeing those people struggling with absolutely no place to live. I've helped out my friends and neighbors clean the sodden sheet-rock from their home and to stack all of their belongings on the street side. I've heard some people talk about the embarassment they feel saying that they feel as if their whole life and all its intimate details is sitting in the sun for all to see. Many of them have not managed to get their affairs in order enough to even BEGIN rebuilding. My mother-in-law's house was a slab, swept clean except for a few scraps of hardwood flooring.

Terrible sight after terrible sight, and this TOTALLY IGNORANT, FILTHY @$%# dares to whine about his situation?!?! I'm am just sick about this. I pray that Aaron Brooks is no longer on my Saints next year. I just don't know what I'll do if he's still here.

Of all time?

GPC2 12-13-2005 11:52 AM

FrenzyFan,

Everything is relative.

Brooks was speaking about the conditions he and the rest of the organization are dealing with RELATIVE TO THE OTHER 31 NFL TEAMS. He made no indication that he felt like in the whole scheme of things his life was horrible. Let's be real here. If based on that interview you don't want him on your team next year then, as I have repeatedly stated, you don't want ANY OF THE 53 players on the current roster to be on the team next year.

If you are frustrated by his play (and that's your opinion), and you don't want him on your team for that reason, then that's different, but because he vented about the RELATIVELY poor conditions that an NFL team is dealing with, which by the way is an opinion shared by many people inside and outside of the organization.

Again - if you don't like him for past transgressions - fine, but don't point to this interview and get into the condescending name calling and personal attacks.

....and saintswhodi, this is precisely why I generally don't post to message boards, because there is usually very little discussion and a whole bunch of hate and personal attacks.

saintswhodi 12-13-2005 12:01 PM

Wait, I said I was done. Why bring me back into it Billy? Noone here has to explain themselves to you. You believe what you wish, and others will do the same. Funny though, you are arguing with me on another forum, and thus, after two consec posts by you with no mention of me, you bring me up again, for no reason, after we both had moved on to other convos. Give it a rest.

gandhi1007 12-13-2005 12:03 PM

Here goes- BROOKS SUCKS!!!!!!!! He's dumb as a brick, can't lead his receivers, has fumbleitis, and is a total moronic A@#HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That ought to do it. Now, it's all out. Please stop defending this sanitation specialist. HE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
