The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

Saints quarterback Drew Brees has fielded hundreds of questions this preseason, but one in particular is getting asked again and again - and getting under his skin.

"What's it like to have Sean Payton back?"

"He has been asked that question so many times, and I have been asked that question so many times," Brees said wearily in the team's final media availability before Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins. "I think for us, it's really in the past."

Brees also debunks the theory that last year's Bounty suspensions are fueling the fire to succeed this season.

"We are on to the next season," Brees said. "We are always motivated. We are always inspired to go out. Our mindset is forget what you did the year before whether it was good or bad. You have to prove it again this year. There is always another challenge. We feel that no time has passed, and we are right back in line with Sean Payton's program. It's what we do, so it's not like I walk out of here at practice and see him and be like, 'Whoa, it's Sean Payton. He's back.'"

The "Payton Returns" storyline may have run its course within the walls of Saints camp in Metairie, but it will no doubt be a headline again next week when the Saints kick start the regular season with a matchup at home versus the Atlanta Falcons, their division rival.

What are you really thinking about on the sideline during game 4 of the preseason?

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

One that was missed but comes up an awful lot around here.

Why were you such a flaming hypocrite during the CBA negotiations?

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

What should we do for the old players who had to work day jobs in the offseason, and are now in wheelchairs & cant pay their bills? You know, the guys who built the league where you can come in now and make a billion dollars?

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

What? Are you a Falcons fan?

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

I dont know, Ice. I love Drew, and still think he's a good guy. Obviously,
I'm rooting for him. I love my family, but I disagree with things they do.
I disagree with his take on past players, and also I wasnt happy with his
negotiation process--- in fact, I think it hurt the team, and his own image.

But Im still a fan.

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

I agree with you and Danno. I was just giving Danno a taste of his own medicine. Trying to be funny but I didn't want to use a smiley. I'm not usually a "smiley" guy. Unless I've had some drinks. Then the smileys are abundant.

Regarding Brees, I'm not a fan of a guy getting paid so much that it hurts his team. What's the purpose? To say that you were the highest paid player in the NFL at one time? If that's the case, good job. Now please spread the wealth so that the defense can help the team get to the Superbowl.

His comments on past players was pretty spot on in my book. Although each player is/was different it seems like a lot of these guys came out of the woodwork with a bat in hand trying to break the big 'ol NFL pinata and scoop up all the candy when it finally broke.

Regarding Danno, I like the man. A lot. I'm never trying to make enemies here. Though I worry that what I say sometimes angers people, I try my best to be considered a pal. (Insert appropriate smiley here.)

Start with one and get used to it. :)
Or maybe three, that's like one with training wheels :):):).

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

Okay, but some of these need to be explained to me.

Unless that guy is you ;)

Re: The question Drew Brees is sick of answering
 

Using my phone so not all of them show for me... 99% of the smileys were here when I arrived.

Smileys are like underoos, they serve a purpose but not around co-workers.

I doubt being a smart-ass to my boss then sticking my tongue out at him would go over well.

:)

i agree completely.

which is why I love this site. Some of us think the other ones of us are full of crap, about some things, but so do most of my personal friends. (think Im full O crap about some things.) But it seldom
seems to devolve into a personal flame-fest. The net-rage factor here is way below normal. : )

Im not a smiley-guy either. I feel too old and too male.
