Okay, this just finally jumped out at me. Where did you get the idea that Brees counter offered, or even openly refused, any of the Saints offers? First of all, what difference does it make if there were counter offers? That is the definition of negotiating. And even if there were, how would that in anyway prevent the Saints from knuckling under to the demands of Nicks' agent? And were you in the room while that negotiating was taking place, or did you once again base it all on presumptuous articles by media members and other fans following the media lemmings over the cliff?

Are you getting the theme of this conversation?
