Lot of words:

You probably heard that Drew Brees said that players don't trust Goodell.

Drew Brees explained last night what he meant by those comments and that he wasn't trying to start some war with Goodell.

First take literally this morning just a few hours after this thread was made had skip bayless trashing Brees because he felt that Brees had "backed off" of his original comments.

I personally don't watch ESPN or first take that much anymore cause skip is probably just told to be the devils advocate and everyone else is supposed to be shocked.

But this mildly annoyed me because Skip has exaggerated and misread quotes before but this just went off the deep end by basically insulting Drew Brees character for no reason. Not to mention that Skip said that he thinks that the rest of the Saints players have lost respect for Brees. That was the part that was the most frustrating seeing as Skip has never touched a football or pads in his life and when you at the fact that every player that comes on first take almost ALWAYS disagrees with Skip. Plus the fact that skip had to lie that he did well when he played basketball.


The problem with his argument was that Brees DIDN'T back off of his comments. Brees said that players don't trust Goodell and idiots in the media(like skip and stephan) took it as if the players were going to assassinate Goodell and Brees was the ringleader. So what does Brees do? He goes on TV and explains that he's not trying to start a smear campaign or start a war and just explained his HONEST opinion based off of the many players that he's talked. "Backing off" of his original comments would imply that Brees suddenly thinks that players DO trust Goodell(which he did the exact opposite of) or try something like saying that the words were taken out of context.

Just saying what's on my mind and it especially aggravated me. Especially now when the whole media praises tebow for being such a good guy even though I feel Brees has done WAY more moral wise than Tebow. Oh and if my grammar is bad, I apologize. I have a nerve disorder.
