SaintNik --

Man, I\'m glad you brought this to light.

I\'m not going to call anyone out on this issue. You know who you are. But, Brooks\' salary has been criticized mightly. I\'ve often disagreed with most folks on this issue.

Some say Brooks didn\'t deserve his pay because he hadn\'t proven to be worth it.

Well, in the NFL most players are paid on potential. Just look at what some of these rookies (Eil Manning) will be paid -- on nothing but potential this year. Most of these people that are criticising Brooks know this though. They just need something to ***** about. :P

Something else, these people that have criticised Brooks\' deal don\'t look very far down the road. But, then again, they didn\'t want to see anything but an opportunity to bash Brooks.

It now seems as though this was a very wise move by the Saints.

As far as Payton goes. If anyone\'s worth it, it\'s Payton. If Brooks is able to match Paytons production, then who knows what will happen. I would suspect we should have a bunch of folks screaming for Brooks to get equal pay since he\'s one of the top QB\'s in the league. But, we know a snowball has a better chance in HELL --
