Most often it’s far better to keep your opinion to yourself and too be thought a fool than express it to the public and confirm the obvious. The Blake issue was way past the Brees BLM Kneeling/Jenkins/Brees’s controversy. You don’t have to agree or like it but your innuendo/comment is unnecessary.

We'll see. I know several people that felt the same way after the 2019 season. Only Brees will know for sure and I believe him when he says he won't know until AFTER the season is over and he's had a few weeks to evaluate those two questions.

37-11 during the regular season, but 2-3 when the games actually matter.

Three seasons, Three failures on an epic level, including going 13-3 and losing in a wild card game.

That being said, I also think the Saints are a better team, “top to bottom” than the last three years of playoff failures have proven. The Saints are going to need those players to take success to the next level. Problem with the mindset of going “all in” is that if you don’t actually win the entire enchilada, then the entire year is a waste.

If you never go "all in" you may never even get close to a side of beans and rice, however. In that case you have decades of wasted years.

There is a ton of luck involved in winning a Super Bowl. Only one team can do it every year and it takes plenty of lucky bounces.

I am more than happy to discuss these issues on the merits. If you feel you can keep up, then let's have it.

I don't know what innuendo you are talking about. Jacob Blake is a sex offender. Drew Brees wore the man's name on his helmet. I think it is disgustingly pathetic.

The point is that no one believes that Drew would allow his wife to be alone with that person, but apparently Drew is okay with propping him up.

That's where this non sensible and evil movement leads people - to say and do things they know are not true. Blake was no hero and we should not treat him as such.

There are real people suffering because of this movement. And Drew is willing to go along with it - and I believe it is all because he wants play long enough to be in the discussion with Manning and Brady as the goat.

I don't remember anyone declaring Jacob Blake as any sort of "hero". Nor any of the others being recognized as having been inequitably treated by a few bad cops. The name tags were there as a gesture agreed upon via vote by the whole team. Every single player had the same name tag on their helmet. The individual players did not make that decision independently. But, regardless, the labeling it as hero worship of some sort is ludicrous and totally misinformed, just as the ludicrous notion that kneeling during the national anthem had something to do with the military. A number of persons made that connection because they were upset that the "uppity" blacks were complaining. These people claimed that they were upset because the military was being disrespected by the kneeling and claimed that the "uppity" blacks should find another way to protest. Well, now the same people are complaining about this other method of bringing attention to the inequalities. Is it truly the military being disrespected or are the "uppity" blacks and white snowflakes disrespecting someone else, instead?

I doubt Jacob Blake's victim cares too much for the distinction you are trying to make. The man is a repeat sexual offender and his victim deserves to have what he did to her to be taken into consideration before celebrity athletes adorn their helmets with his name.

I can see where there is room to argue against the position that kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful to the military. I can also see the argument for why it is disrespectful to those who have served, even if that is not the intent.

What I can't agree with is the position that kneeling is not disrespectful to the National Anthem and the flag. O have heard that argument made and it is, IMO, disingenuous. Showing contempt is exactly the purpose.

If anyone had any doubt that "the movement" was destructive before Memorial Day, there has been more than enough evidence since to remove that doubt. The people who have suffered the most are the most vulnerable who live in those communities.
