He missed 5 games last year because of a freak accident caused by a POS left guard. His biggest problem is that his O line can't stay healthy.

I guess I'll have to start watching football on Monday night again.

Guess there's a slim chance Brees goes full Witten and works horribly as a commentator then unretires, right?

Lol

I really hope Drew does well because that was awful for Witten. The whole MNF crew has been garbage for the last several years, but oddly enough I still like them more than Troy and Buck.

I’m actually in genuine disbelief...where have the years gone?!

I seriously doubt Brees will be doing games. How could he say something like Subway Halftime report when he owns all those Jimmy Johns. Not gonna happen. I'm thinking his own show or in a bunch of segments.

I am not reading anywhere that he is retiring after this year, only that he has a contract for after he retires.

On the choice.. espn are hacks, NBC also owns FPT.

SP's statement...contract for after football. Wall and writing?

You have to consider he is close, very close and quite possibly this year is it. I think there's a very good chance we are watching his final season. Hopefully that motivates those around him

I think Brees even said in the beginning he was coming back to take one more shot at the SB.
I agree that the writing is on the wall. It’s going to be hard for some people to accept but it will probably be time.
