Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments

rezburna · 06-03-2020, 06:56 PM

He can read any defense. Gotta read the room. Some say his teammates are going against him. Seems to me like he went against his teammates. I wanna be a fly on the wall in that locker room meeting.

OldMaid · 06-03-2020, 07:06 PM

I saw . I came straight here.
I did read any comments yet.
Who are these folks PR people?
Someone from his camp should have told him last Friday when Don Lemon started calling on entertainers and athletes to say something, “Drew , make sure you shut da ‘ ***c up before you say anything.”
Noooo. He had to post up.
Let his little pea brain and crooked fingers do some talking. Let me post.
Malcolm Jenkins got on CNN . Brees is trending On line. What a mess.
I always say people need to not post up every little stupid thought their brain farts out.
I learned the hard way many of times putting my two left ,size 11 feet in my mouth, shut da ‘ *** up.
I have said uhhhhh, some doozies . It took me about 30 years to figure out to shut da’ ***c up.
Sometimes you just cannot say stuff.
Ex. An oops, but I can live with for the next 10-25 years. I recently commented to m niece about about her fiancé. Why did I not shut da’ ***c up, lol. We don’t speak. Maybe in 10-25 years from now. I made my peace with it. I ate that. Done said is done said. We don't speak. She speaks to her mother’s sister who made a comment, same comment. Another thing, some comments of the same can come from some people, but not others.
Back to Brees.
Brees goofed. I know Wifey Brittney and SeanP are pizzed. Brees just has to sit in it now. Hell, people Black, White, Conservative, Liberal , etc., are after Beyonce and JayZ for posting up.
This is a very controversial, difficult time. LilWayne , Prince William and Kate got bashed on social media. Tyler Perry too.
Oh well. I cannot worry about him I got a wedding to go to later this. Gawd, I do not want to go. I will and I smilesmilelaugh and shut da’ ***c up.

Oh I hope Brees does not backstroke and do the ole apology. No. It is out there now. Trust me, a semi- retired Foot- in- Mouth pro , that does not work. I apologized and each time I did in my mess, twice, and it got worst each time.

What a mess Brees made . It will pass ...like in October.

Same thing happened last year when he associated himself with an anti gay association. People blamed his PR person. Here we are a year later with this ****. He has a lot to learn if he wants to be a politician starting with how to pander.
I don’t see how in the world these guys are going to want to play for him.
It’s going to be really sad if these comments wind up tarnishing his career.

The best way to get what you want from people is to strategically plant seeds of hate and distrust between two people. Eventually it will come to a head and while they’re busy fighting and trying to kill each other you have all the time in the world to go through all their **** and rob them of everything while they are distracted. In the end you have both peoples stuff while one is dead and the other is facing consequences.
This scenario applies to every aspect of life.

I am good with Drew for expressing his opinion and not sugar-coating it. I am also cool with several Saints current and former showing their saltiness about it. Emotions are high after the George Floyd execution and whatever you believe it is just more heartfelt now than it ever was before.

Here is what I hope ... it would be great if we cross racial lines on this issue. Meaning at least one of our black Saints aligns with Drew and says he also can't get behind kneeling during the anthem, and likewise at least one of our white Saints kneels during the anthem because the feeling of alienation moves him to do so.

We've got a strong locker room, and as soon as the cleats hit the field we'll find a way to bring the humility and comradery back.

Very good points.

Even Obama's approval ratings were in the 40%. Can't make everyone happy no matter what you say. Who cares.

Retired Army Veteran... When the National anthem is played the Correct protocol is standing with hand over your heart or saluting the flag ... Period ... Standing with Drew... And For all who served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom that can no longer standoff themselves.

Standard protocol for the anthem is not hand over heart, that protocol is for the pledge of allegiance...

In before the media writes us off and says we have no chance because we don't agree. Then we go and beat the brakes off the Bucs. It will be like angry married couple make up sex (with a cat in tow)
