They'll play for him because they know and respect him. They have already cleared the air on that. They'll play for him because they are football players and want to win.

Guido, I like you; you know that. And also I consider you an authority, for the most part.

But there are people, for whom the number one most important thing in all universal existence is the color of their skin, and yours. I supersedes everything, including logic, job, duty, and truth.

This cancer will not die, and they will go nowhere. And you know thats hard for me to say.

I wouldnt buy a ticket, merchandise, or watch a game, until these haters apologize to HIM and to US. (and if you know my racial makeup, i dont exactly qualify for the aryans) I mean Americans. It comes before games and sports. I can tell you Media isnt doing well this year... CBS just had massive layoffs. These fools are about to find out who pays the freight.

I don't think you are giving these men enough credit, Mike. They all know Brees far better than us. If they say they have forgiven Brees for his words then I believe them. I believe Brees is sincere and I have no doubt they do as well. The cancer is with the media for fueling exchanges such as this. Brees and his teammates are not stupid. They know what is going on. They were able to talk personally yesterday and have apparently found common ground. People tend to react to extremes quickly these days. Brees is the same man he was one week ago. For anyone to say that they have lost respect for him forever is pretty shallow thinking.

And those haters are the media, Mike. They are the ones that fan the flames and feed the fire.
