I'm pissed because so many people assume its Loomis thats the bottleneck instead of Condon. I've never been more supportive of Mickey Loomis than I am this season, and its mostly due to the Brees contract issue. I trust Mickey Loomis MUCH MUCH MUCH more than Tom Condon and Drew Brees. |

Some see the glass as half empty ... I see it as having just chugged the whole damn thing and am watching it being refilled for the next round. WHO DAT!!! |

The CBA stuff was right in his wheelhouse, dealing with the good of the whole. These negotiations are personal and I assure you that there is a GREAT deal of difference.

Now, I'm not blaming him for getting as much as he can, but Drew as some 'caught up' victim in this whole thing doesn't wash...even a little... |

It will get done. Now that Manning is signed. Bounty Gate will happen next then Drew. Then on to the Draft and to the OTA'S. In Loomis I trust.
