Where is your mind, Drew Brees?

What the hell are you doing focusing on this? Isn't there a little more time, say, in late February, when you could spare a few brainwaves for this issue?

The NFL wants a subtle clarification of the property rights laws. This is not something one would see in a defensive secondary or a playbook.

Furthermore, unless you can state what it is exactly that will make the league more or less competitive by NFL challenge, then STAY OUT OF THE DISCUSSION. You failed to do this on both ends.

Jeez. Win baby, just freakin win.

This is the kind of crap I've been talking about for the last few weeks. These guys are being way too distracted making commercials, going on Leno and all that other crap. Now this! This kind of junk can't wait three or four more weeks? Can't sombody petition the Supreme Court to delay this court date for a few weeks? Holy cow Drew, this is what you've worked your whole life for.

I'm sorry, but I see no problem with this at all. Drew Brees is an intelligent, articulate individual who is quite capable of sitting down and writing a short letter without it affecting his whole mindset. Relax. Many other players would be more distracted trying to order breakfast at McDonald's.

Agreed. What, Drew has ADD and can't focus?

Besides, he is not a robot. If that is what is on his mind, then clear it out. And he has done that in a very reasonable letter IMO. Now he can concentrate more on the matter at hand.

BTW, did you notice the 80 yard TD pass in the letter. Premonition or what?

I do have to admit I have had similar thoughts as it seems like every time you turn around you hear of players out doing autograph signings, radio/TV interviews, speaking to "at risk" students, helping the poor, etc.

However, I don't see a problem with this. In fact, it would not surprise me in the least to learn that the letter was actually ghost written by someone else. It's not that I don't think that Drew is capable, but it would make sense for him work with someone on this -- perhaps someone who works on his agent's staff.

Ghostwriting happens all the time. In fact, I have someone else draft most of my posts on here.

I No problem with this. The minute it was over Drew was think about football.

All Drew did was sign an editorial written by lawyers. It's not like it took
hours away from his practice time. But you're right, I don't like distractions,
even small ones.
