Isn't burning the flag illegal? I can't remember the legislature concerning it, but at least in Finland it's illegal to burn the nation's flag - I mean it is only a fine, but still. The only occasion where you are allowed to (or should) burn the flag is if it accidentally touches the ground when you are taking it down, because it is supposedly tainted after that.

As for the topic, I usually don't like public expressions of emotion - being Finnish - but I think it is OK for Brees to be a bit of a showman, since that is part of his job as the "face of the franchise." And usually when he appears in a talk show etc. he is also promoting some good cause like the "NFL Play 60," so I never get the sense that he is only appearing in public to promote himself or his desire to be noticed.

And as for the PB, I like the idea of it being more of an award show and a recap of the season with the added skills competitions etc., because the skills comps have always been my favorite part of the whole weekend - and the only thing worth watching. With the PB being more of an award show recapping the past season, it would also allow for it to be after the SB, so that players from those last two teams standing could also once again participate in the event.
