I blame your avatar for my lack of focus...just so you know. LOL

Im starting to focus on Zoey now. You know she's really pre.... SLAAAAAAP! nono Baby, I ...well, if you compare her wholesomeness to the girl on Mathius av. with those nice big boo---SLAAAAAAP! nono, I just mean, you know, theyre all hanging ou----POW! I wasnt looking at them, I just saw. . . accidently... (stare) nevermind.

ok, we can go home now.

Count me in the This Is No Problem camp. I think we're under a misconception that players do crunches for 5 hours, then spend another 6 on film study, and then sit in a dark room another 2 "focusing" on the next game. Its not like he's out clubbing, shooting himself in the leg***, & being dubiously close to mysterious stabbings, etc. I mean these guys have a life, and they can multi-task. I think we would be surprised how much time they spend playing Madden, and watching movies. Hebert and Gajan used to fish. Bum rode cutting horses.

I dont even know if I agree with his stance, but he's a good writer. good communicator.

*** I think Plaxico's sentence was complete bull****.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil* is that good men** do nothing." quote from Edmund Burke.

*Evil > tyranny > aka Supreme Court.
** Good men > Leader > aka Drew Brees.

I'm OK with Brees exercising his God given ability as a leader on this matter. If this is how he chooses to spend his down-time then he has my blessing. Now if the Supreme Court summons him to come give a deposition on the matter during the playoffs... then I take issue. But basically all Drew did here was submit an op-ed piece to the Washington Post, and it probably took him less time to write it than it did for me to write this post.

But I'm OK too with Xan bringing this up for discussion because he's a concerned Whodat!

My thought on this is....Mathius should bring back his previous Avatar. Otherwise, this article should have no affect on the game at all. If anything it was something that was probably on Drew's mind, so getting it off his chest helped. It directly impacts his "workplace", so he has the right.

How many chances does either Drew Brees or the Saints for a Super Bowl appearance over their lifetimes? Two years in the wilderness doesn't seem like enough time to ponder the difference between the total commitment of a winner and someone who's along for the ride.

If it doesn't have to do with running, throwing catching, blocking or tackling, it shouldn't be on their plate until February 10. The "court of public opinion" rarely has sway over our appellate judicial system, so either Mr. Brees is selectively stupid or he's purposely being misled to care about something over which he has no power. Either way, if we lose, I'm blaming him. (unless our defense decides to imitate a pasta sieve)

I think drew is the last one we need to worry about when it comes to concentrating and putting in extra work.

as far as the interviews and commercials go, this team is small market and anything to bring attention to us or help the franchises appeal isnt a bad thing.

Personally, if we lose I am going to blame you, because you have every bit as much of a material affect on the outcome of a game as does the penning of a short letter. It will be entirely upon your shoulders if our beloved Saints fail to advance. You will have single-handedly sabotaged the season and sent millions of Saints fans into deep state of depression. Yes, you, Xan, will be the one to blame.

There have been plenty of cases where teams have won championships and not been focusing or obsessing about their game 24/7 beforehand. I seriously doubt Roethlisberger spent every single moment before the superbowl last year or before the first one he won. Drew doing thi is no different than a player taking time to play xbox, walk the dog, play with the kids, or take a crap. The idea that this takes away from his focus on the Saint's first playoff game is laughable.
