I'm not one of these people who think Athletes are role models, but as an athlete, as a person, he is worthy. Surely Tom and Rita are aware of his merits, and I have faith he will retire wearing Black and Gold.

Okay, I LOVE Brees too, but this is a little overboard. You don't think the FANS in Indy, or NE, or several other places don't and can't say this about someone on their team? I get it -- Brees brought us a Championship and that is INCREDIBLE, but I think it's a little 'jaded' to be making such statements.

Again, we are ALL emotional about Brees because of what he did, but the facts are facts --- I highly doubt he should be (or will be) the highest paid player in the league. Personally, I doubt he will be the highest paid QB when the dust settles.
