Tom Brady Reportedly Had ‘Serious Interest’ In The Saints If Drew Brees Retired

SmashMouth · 06-06-2020, 09:23 AM

Remember when sporting news was all about where Tom Brady was going to play? Seems like years ago. Anyway, Brady was apparently very interested in the Saints if Drew Brees was to retire and the Saints were interested in him...

Brees is younger and better than Tom Brady! Brady is a diva and we don't need those on the team. I hope Drew never retires but this newest saga may take the wind out of his sails.

Oh, and Jenkins can kiss my a$$. You don't curse your QB in public. In private? Oh hell yeah! But to cuss the man on twitter left me with almost no respect for Jenkins. I liked him as a player but I don't respect him now. However, I still respect Drew. Jenkins could learn something from Demario Davis.

Agreed about Jenkins and Demario, D.Davis is a pillar that people should look up to and respect, seems to be an amazing person and talked about Drews comments in a respectful but direct way.

I get that its a very passionate and extremely important cause and I have no idea nor experience on what the black community endure on a day to day basis, just didn't think it was appropriate for Jenkins to record videos swearing here and there and chastising Brees' character when Davis managed to get his point across and enlighten people without even raising his voice.

Not saying Jenkins overall message was wrong as I fully support it, I just didnt like the way he delivered his responses.

Have you read Brees' book? This newest saga should actually ADD wind to his sails. He thrives on adversity. That said, the whole ordeal is most likely far less impactful than what fans and clickbait generating media believe.

Of course the media engages in hyperbole and click baiting. But it only takes a tiny amount of discernment to figure out that the reactions of his teammates are not click bait. These are THEIR words that THEY made public on twitter. Drew was asked a question and responded. And it was a reasonable answer. But his teammates acted like a bunch of bigots and not only jumped down his throat about it but, as I said, did so publicly.

It's kind of pathetic the lengths some people will go to in order to excuse the behavior of their beloved football heroes. There is literally no way to construe this reaction by the players as being a media narrative. The media and the players have INVENTED this narrative, together, and no doubt the media will milk it for all it's worth, but this never would have been an issue if these guys knew how to handle a disagreement like grown men.

Now Drew has bent over to political correctness, instead of standing his ground. I'm not sure there is a single principled person left in the NFL.

All that said, I'll bet you are FAR more bent out of shape about it than are those players. Adults work things out with those they work with.

You'd lose that bet really badly. You know how I know that? It's not a crystal ball... They ALREADY handled the situation like children, NOT adults. You know what adults do? They work out their problems in PRIVATE, and they don't call each other names in the process.

These little child-men had temper tantrums in PUBLIC. And what is this you call "working it out" that you claim they've done? They bullied Brees into taking their side, and throwing his principles in the garbage (which doesn't speak well of him, either). That's not working it out. Grown men don't bully each other into taking a side so that they can stay in the cool kids club.

The fact that you haven't made that connection is absurd. You are addicted to this team, and will not see anything negative that impacts your emotional bond to football. And that's your business. But don't pretend to have the high ground in conversation with other adults, if that's how you want to be.

Well then it's about time you abandon the Saints and the NFL for good if it upsets you so. I'm sure that would treat them right for hurting your feelings.

I already have cut ties with both. But they didn't "hurt" my "feelings".

When someone does something that you think is reprehensible, and you say "I have no respect for that person" or "those people", does that mean your feelings are hurt by it? Does finding a problem with something automatically equate to hurt feelings in your little bubble?

Try not to embarrass yourself.

Demario Davis's Father was a career enlisted soldier in the US Army and combat veteran.
So here's a guy who knows both sides of the coin. The guy endured two bad franchises before coming to the Saints.
A Man of God and apparently wise beyond his years.
