People just need to realize, it doesn't matter what Drew or the Saints do or accomplish, including Super Bowls, records, and wins, people "out there" are always not going to like it. The guy simply cannot catch a break. If they had pulled Drew it would have been articles saying the exact opposite, about "why didn't Payton keep him in to go for the record?" and that the Saints must be weak or are going to slip because they didn't keep Drew in.

People "out there" just like hating on the Saints, and trying to tear them down, because the Saints and New Orleans were not invited to the media's little party of sculpted media stories and pet favorites... Drew was the guy they ALL wrote off, and frankly a lot of people DON'T LIKE THE CITY, either, so there's no room in these guys' imaginary story line for the Saints to be good or be a favorite. Once you recognize that fact, and make your peace with it, that no matter WHAT Drew or the Saints do they will NEVER get acclaim or respect from these people, then you will feel MUCH better as a Saints fan about all the wonderful things this team has accomplished over the last few years.

In professional sports, you disrespect an opponent by showboating, by playing your backups, by basically deliberately underperforming.

Did you take the poll on this article? Most people agree with us...stop whining, Falbabies!

No.

No, because the Packers were 18 point in front with 20 minutes to go. And with the Packers' defense, that's not a sure thing.

The Failcons and a few others have disrespected the NFL by coming unprepared. How many times do we have to take Brees out of a game? He deserves to play.

Again...

1973 in New Orleans
Falcons 63
Saints 7

Now STFU... again.

This should have been a great achievement for Brees instead it has turned into something of a distraction.Why? This has not been achieved in 27 years. A lot of people and sports analysts feel like he disrespected the Falcons throwing so late in the game. So what! They are disrespecting Brees after a major accomplishment that has not been accomplished in 27 years. This is just hard to believe, wonder whats next?

Whatever is next, I bet we get it in buckets after the Saints win another SB.

When are these guys gonna MAN UP?

Jesus.
