During the season he'll be traveling more than he ever did playing. Half his games were home games and they usually traveled Saturday evening for Sunday away games and returned that night. He'll now be leaving Thursday night or Friday morning every week to meet with the Notre Dame staff to prep for the Saturday games and then fly into Stamford, Connecticut where the Sunday Night studio show is hosted. He'll then most likely return home Monday. I'm sure he'll have additional responsibilities throughout the week.

Reads like a song lyric.

Who's glad we have a competent coach to lead this team in this transition?
Some here have argued that the coach is less than competent.

As a general manager, definitely...

Goodbye Drew and thank you!

I have to admit its sad to see you go but I think you have made the right decision.

Its been an absolute privilege to see you play for the Saints for all these years and to witness what a true gentleman you are and a true ambassador for all that is good about the game of football.

Now hang up your pads and enjoy a wonderful time with your family.

Also, good luck with your upcoming TV career, I'm sure you will do well!

WHO DAT! GEAUX SAINTS!

They were just discussing the post Brees era for the Saints and were saying that the Saints fans need to be prepared for life after Brees. They gave comparisons of how Miami is still looking for a replacement for Dan Marino decades later. The same with Elway until Manning made a brief appearance and now they are back to looking again. The Jets still haven't found the replacement for Namath. They said several other franchises have never even had a QB of that caliber to even replace. They said while Payton can coach anyone, the offense will have to be different because Brees was so special that he could handle that offense. They said there's no way to expect anyone else to step in and execute that offense. And the leadership will be impossible to replace. His ability to lead was unparalleled.

Re: Saints QB Drew Brees retires from NFL after 20 seasons: 'I am not retiring from New Orleans'

So many damn memories he helped create along that great run.
I'm forever grateful for what he brought to the the table as a player on and off the field..True class act if there were ever one man.
The countless times he battled back keeping us in games with the bulk ending up being great comeback W's..
I almost always felt we had a chance with #9 at the helm.
Besides the SB Win,one of my greatest memories was that Monday night game when we beat the brakes off of Crybaby-Brady and Sir Bellicheat, leaving them on the sideline in utter disbelief as we dismantled them leaving them in a wake of destruction and embarrassment lol
We Destroyed the Giants too in similar fashion.
I enjoyed watching our team shut the talking heads you know what's 😎


Enjoy your semi-retirement #9 and enjoy spending some of the loot you earned along the way without being hindered by a beaten,battered ,and bruised up carcass;Although after 20yrs of gridiron play there will be some lingering ailments no doubt.Hopefully not many Peyton and Mickey did a damn good job keeping him upright through the years for the most part.
Best of luck to him on SNF, and well into the future.

His dedication and realness being fueled by a fire many don't and will ever possess was something to take notice and behold for sure.

Alot of added pressure was put in place the last 5 years or so ,with most being self-inflicted knowing the end was approaching faster by every seasons end.
That wasn't easy man.
I wasn't mad he was being allowed to chase another championship.
Don't get me started on the zebra's in easily visible wolves clothing.
Yes,they are truly a pack of inbred Fk-Ups!!


H.O.F needs to get that man's jacket and bronze to the front of the pack.
A true Leader is coming for what's rightfully his.


Thanks for All the memories #9

Again,
Thank You Sir

Look at our records for the forty years prior to Brees. That's mediocrity. The expectation that the chance of making it to the Super Bowl is unreasonable. That is mediocrity. Celebrating making it to the playoffs once a decade. That's mediocrity.
