You can't spin this one - it was a schitt move on Jenkins' part who was supposedly brought in to show the younger players how to handle themselves...

He mostly likely overreacted. I'm sure it pissed off others like yourself, but as long as the two of them worked it out behind "closed doors", it no longer matters what others think.

And I'm not the one spinning anything, JP. If Jenkins, and the others, said they have spoken with Brees and they have an understanding then it is those that are making it out to be something bigger that are doing the negative spinning. It goes both ways, my friend.

Do you really think it's all over? It's going to continue in the season if theres a season.

Yes. I absolutely think it is all over as for any issue between Brees and the others. Do I think the protests are over? Absolutely not.

And there is very little likelihood that there will NOT be a season.

I have personally had serious disagreements with others and have calmly worked things out and mended fences. Most all of us have. Today on NFL Radio Bruce Murray and Brady Quinn were talking about this very subject and both agreed that to a man everyone on that Saints roster knows Brees as being a kind and caring individual and both sounded confident that it was not going to be an issue moving forward. That is the last thing that the general media wants because it doesn't sell clicks.
