They talked about how much Drew enjoys seeing his boys play ball and how that's going to become more difficult with the TV gig than when he was the Saints QB. The whole argument that he'll have more time with his kids now is flawed since he'll be out of town on Saturdays. Weis said that Brees is going to learn that fast.

Good point. But does a TeeBee gig take more time than Brees' was putting in as QB for the Saints? I remember reading he was reporting at 5AM at Airline Highway.

But this Saint showed us the light and the path forward so the journey continues. `

Reads like a song lyric.

Who's glad we have a competent coach to lead this team in this transition?
