How does it help for someone that hasn’t been involved for months to come in and start giving their opinion? That usually just makes the process more difficult.

He was probably going to be in New York for a promo anyway.

While I think this labor deal dispute has tried to put a tarnish on my boy Drew’s image, this guy is a solid and unbelievably giving person. I have nothing but respect for Drew and his family. We love him down here, not only for bringing a championship, but also for his great community leadership. We actually have quality athletes who represent the organization as well as the community well. The last 6 years have been hell to recover from, but by God Himself, we are doing it..even if it did take something like a football team to rally the people. Drew is not just a football player. He has a job to do too…and just like any of us who worked a job we deemed was being unfair to us, if we had a chance (like a union) to make things better for all of us, wouldn’t we? Yeah I know..they make millions, but there is a lot that goes into making millions..it’s not like they sit around counting their chips. There is a thing Uncle Sam calls taxes…and more of it goes to the government than people realize or understand.

YES! That means the deal is done. Brees is going to show up and bask in the glory all his hard work created.

And totally agree Brees is way out of his element when trying to take a seat at the negotiating table, or making those ridiculous statements. Now Drew is saying they – the NFLPA – has always had the retired players interest at the head of their proposals.

Sounds a bit different than from what he said earlier about the retired players pissing away their money.

if things go south will he blame it on the turf like his teammate did?

Gotta say – good interview with Scott and Billy Ray this am – out here in SD – and hey – won’t give away your “undisclosed” beach location.

And you are quicker getting this post up than the negotiations are proceeding, that’s for sure.

So far – Drew is really non-commital (so far in the interview) re: any substance on why he “might” be going to NY tomorrow. He is still here in SD – Del Mar – right now.

It’s too bad Scott Kaplan is the 2nd worst radio sports host behind Hacksaw.

Brees wants to make sure mole removal is covered in players insurance.

He should join in the talks. He gets paid $300,000 per year by the union to be their mouthpiece.

The talks have been somewhat positive since Brees has not been involved. Why ruin a good thing, the guy just can’t keep his big mouth shut.

Why?

Based on his decades of experience in the nuisances of contract negotiation, U.S. labor law, collective bargaining and hands on operation of billion dollar enterprises?

He throws a football for a living. That’s like asking the negotiators to take snaps under center.

I like you Brees, but man, for all our sake, just stay home.

Hopefully he’ll be wearing his best leisure suit.
