True, but the same could be said about the post he quoted.

Ahh, I see this thread is going through the stages of grief...many are stuck in anger.

THANK YOU DREW! You helped make the Saints a viable NFL organization.

After recently injuring my right shoulder, I have a new appreciation for pain and what you accomplished. Not only do you have a heart of gold, you have the pain threshold of a madman!!!

Its always about him, even when he is quitting on the team as they lose a game.

When he is right he comes on here to gloat. He avoided this board for weeks after the season was over because he was scared to have it said "Told you so".

We all know what this dude is.

Drew was phenomenal player and his drive to be great was evident. Watching him was like watching a surgeon. He was absolutely the best player the Saints have ever had. He is going to be in the HOF first year he is eligible. It is deserved, he is one of the greatest QB's of all time.

I cannot look at him the same for his cowardice this offseason. It doesn't change his greatness as a player, but that's my honest view.

It was a great ride.

I was responding to a negative comment by someone making about him and his type.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

Thank you, shawnkytonk. That's what I was trying to point out. Brees was the single greatest thing that ever happened to our franchise and I have no doubt whatsoever he is loved by each and every teammate he has ever had. Trying to stir up racist hatred isn't fitting.

Re: Drew Brees Officially Announces Retirement
 

Drew Brees kept my glass full. He gave me reason to always be positive about my Saints. I certainly hope something shows up in the not too distant future to once again give me some semblance of hope. But for now I am prepared to return to the days of celebrating those sporadic times of positive events. I was there for over forty years before he came as the savior so I suppose I can handle the next forty or more.
