Bill Simmons is part of a group of writers and analysts who have been critical of Brees' performance as a studio analyst for NBC, describing him as a "corpse" in front of the camera.

Since then, the New York Post has reported that Brees is out after one season with NBC, which didn't like his chances of becoming the network's next top NFL analyst.

Brees took to Twitter to say that he is "undecided" on his future, leaving open the possibility of doing something else altogether.

When Arrington took over the discussion, the critique of Brees turned more harsh.

I’m not sure I get the cartoon reference. Did Brees support Blake?

The NFL did. I don't think it was an option whether or not to wear some sort of propaganda on their helmets. If it was an option and a player didn't, I'm sure they were crucified for it until they conformed.
