Brees still wearing a Saints cap!!
 

"In summation, a racehorse that began the day the property of the 2008 NBA MVP ended it as the property of the 2009 NFL MVP. Of course, the horse doesn't realize any of this because, well, he's a horse."


Of course, Brees was NOT the 2009 MVP. He was ROBBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009 Super Bowl MVP is a better title anyway!

Duh! What the hell you think he'd be wearing?

I'm sure fans of at least 29 teams wish it were their own!

A Purdue BoilerMakers cap, or no cap at all?

Bullcrap. He is a Saints first and foremost.

If he was, he would have signed one of the three contracts the Saints have offered him already!!

Just sayin'!!

Bingo!!!

C'mon man!

Dude has to be able to feed his family.

What the hell is he feeding them? Gold & platinum laced food?

I started laughing before I even started the video. And I'm not even drunk.

If he signs a contract now he's an idiot. Brees is going to be a saint forever. He's not signing a contract. He's signing a retirement plan.
He needs to make sure when he's playing with the Saints 5 years from now at 38 that when he's making 18-20 million a year the new QB's are not making 20-25 million a year. Inflation and the details of how he will retire, meaning , does he decide? Is it a owner or coach decision ? His stats? , can he have a bad year?
Im sure the "contract " is very complicated, and its not all about money.
For all we know the hold up is that they won't let him decide when he wants to retire or some small detail like that. Maybe he wants and option to coach, who knows. I know he wants to live in NO, and raise his kids here.
In any event , after his last season he's not going to get a better chance to bargain than right now. He'll hold out to the last possible moment , then sign.
I guarantee it. Brees will always be a Saint.

It could be a file photo.

Wait, what...Brees bought this horse so he can feed his family?! :D

Is that the horse family !!!!

when did Gasol & Bryant buy a horse?

or glue for around the house

I don't know if I would have bought Kobe's race horse. I'm sure it's always bringing up the rear!:doh:

Even as a fan from another team I really want Brees to get signed. He is black and gold at heart and he needs to get that deal inked.

NOTHING is going to happen until after the arbiter rules on whether Brees should be counted as a first-year franchise tag player or a second-year franchise tag player. So relax, go to the beach, have a margarita, chill with your family and pets, take up knitting, or do some "honey do" stuff you've been meaning to get to around the house. Sit back, NOTHING is going to happen until arbitrator Stephen Burbank is scheduled to hear the grievance June 27. It's not a bad sign, it's not a good sign, it just is what it is.

If Brees is ruled to be a first-year franchise player, then the Saints could franchise him again in 2013 with a required raise of 20 percent ($19.6 million) and a third time in 2014 with a raise of 44 percent ($28.3 million). However, if Brees is ruled to be a second-year franchise player, the Saints could only franchise him one more time in 2013 at a raise of 44 percent ($23.6 million).

The decision won't affect Brees' status or salary this year. But it makes a pretty big difference in how he would get paid NEXT year, or how all of the various worst case doomsday scenarios might play out, including Brees getting injured, Mayan calendar apocalypse, etc etc which OF COURSE Drew has to be thinking about before he signs anything. And there isn't a single person on this message board with any sense, who would sign a deal right now with the Saints, without getting this one arbitration point cleared up first, if it were them instead of Drew. It makes a difference to Drew only under a few hypothetical scenarios, that will never happen, but as long as there's a chance in the universe of them happening to him, even if he wanted to sign with the Saints right now today, he has to protect himself first, and see what the arbiter says.

So we wait. Even if you're worried, stressed, angry, ticked off, whatever, it does not really matter right now. Repeat, NOTHING willl happen, until this is decided.
