I referenced Brady because he played without the shoulder injury that hampered Brees most the season and without the facia injury, as well. If Brees feels like he can fully recover this offseason I can see him wanting to continue playing for the same reason as Brady ... the love of the game.

As for Brittney's statements, I believe it shows her active support. That is critical in any decision to continue or quit. He has said the decision to return was made by them both over the past few years.

There is a subtle difference between supporting him and having a vote in the decision. Every year he decides to return she supports his decision and gives him the head nod. If he chooses to retire she is not going to give him the thumbs down and send his arse back out. She is his voice of reason but it is his own decision to make when he looks in that mirror.

Do you or does anyone know when Drew last played healthy Guido?

Think about this, do you remember when we used to hope Drew didn't go out and have a bad game? Well now we hope Drew goes out and has a good game and that brother is you're brain ignoring your heart.. It is very subtle and happened slowly but subconsciously you know he is not consistent or healthy enough for a whole season.

I wish it were not true, I wish he could get the Lee Majors overhaul and get right back out there playing with no caution. He cant, he is too cautious at this age, you can see it in his eyes when the camera is on him.

You don't have any idea how and what I think. I've never hoped Drew didn't go out and have a bad game. That sentiment is oozing with negativity. That's simply not a part of my thought processes. Of course, I don't have your incredible ability to read a player's mind via camera shot. Perhaps you think the ability of reading my mind is just as readily available.

And don't for a minute believe that Brittany doesn't have a vote. It may not be the deciding vote, but if she said she doesn't want him to return I would expect it to carry tremendous weight even if he was leaning toward returning himself. Conversely, if he was truly undecided I would expect her wishes for him to continue would carry just as much weight. That's just the way it is in a good solid marriage.
