Bang on Brees? Did you even know what you were replying to when you made your snarky comment to me? I'm not banging on Brees. But I've said he isn't the player he used to be, and people always hate that. When someone else gave the same opinion I simply said, in so many words, get ready because the Brees defenders will come. And when I say "defender" I'm not talking about someone saying he's a good QB. I say he's still good, too. It's the people who will question someone's fandom, or intellect, because they think Brees isn't playing at as high of a level. They annoy me.

By the way, I'm aware Brees had a good game last week. Didn't say anything to the contrary. But no one "single handidly" wins a game. That kind of statement is just not accurate.

Yesterday, he didn't have such a good first half did he? But, to his credit, he pulled it together in the second half. That top rated defense? People told me it was overrated during the week, to which I objected a bit, and pointed to the Saints' struggles on both lines against them in the first meeting, and said this would be a difficult matchup. Not too many people, if any, agreed with me. Well it turns out it was a pretty tough matchup, wasn't it? They made a run. But it wasn't enough.

They had a good season and they lost to the #2 seed. I'm not bashing them by pointing out simple observable facts.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
