Thank you Drew.

Yep, thanks Drew. I'll never forget that first fateful offseason after Katrina, when Payton was hired, Brees was signed, Colston was drafted and the Saints not only rebuilt the team but in some sense the city. For various reasons I have been thinking about that time period a lot lately.

Brees has been phenomenal and it's been quite a journey - the first season, the Super Bowl, bounty gate, all the records, the post-season heartbreaks. And if Drew hangs it up it we will be fine, the team will continue to surprise and delight in various ways. Could be a great new chapter for Payton.

Couldn't have said it better myself. As the game was winding down I felt flooded with all these emotions. All of what you just typed was what was washing over me in those last few minutes and I just started crying.
