I dont know Drew has a Hella lock on that. Saying something you don't believe to appease a group. Drew is at the top

I'd like to believe that if I were in Brees' shoes I'd refrain from wearing a name on my helmet that makes a martyr out of a criminal but he's in a tough situation. The entire team put that clown's name on their helmet so Brees followed suit to avoid another blow up. Inevitably, that chicken**** Jenkins would bring the issue to the media and the team would have to deal with that drama again... right before the season starts.

I don't think that it's a stretch to say that Brees is selling his soul in hopes of winning the Lombardi trophy in February and then becoming an announcer for a tv station next season. What a dumpster fire year for him.

I think it was several things. First I think his wife got scared that the people would be in front of their home and threaten them and their kids. Second I think he was worried about not being invited to work as an announcer/analyst, and lastly I believe he was worried the team wouldn't heal.

Either way I think he is a giant P and have 0 respect for him now. I have literally 0 interest in the NFL. I haven't even looked at any info. I honestly am hopeful the Saints lose often. Sorry to the fans I've known on the board for so long but I have no respect for any of them anymore. The players not the guys here.

I primarily refer to Drew as deep throat now for how he pleased MJ

THe other option is Brees is a man of character, ambassador to this city and he wanted to show unity and be understood as someone who cares, was taken wrong and doesn’t have a racist bone in his body

What he said when he said it was insensitive

HOw little it takes to despise the person who nearly singlehandedly brought the Saints to a position of prominence and pride.

The team discussed boycotting practice and as a team they came up with the idea of placing a name on every player's helmet as opposed to missing a vital practice. It was all or none. I respect the fact that they want to win for each other. If it pisses off some closed minded individuals then fine. Those individuals just need to grow a pair.

You're quick to label people "close-minded" for not thinking like you. That's called irony.

Regarding Brees, he's still my favorite football player. He's in a bad situation and has to make his decisions based on politics. I hate to see the guy that brought so much hope to a region have to placate the mob in order for some semblance of peace but here we are.
