Winner.

atwatercrushesokoye: Jonathan Vilma will pay the first $10,000

Honorable Mention.

Seriously tho, if that money doesn’t go back to the idiots who sent it or some nola charity, this guy is gonna find some backfire

*suggested the money go to charity instead of Brees
*suggested that this is anything other than a joke
*made blanket statements about a fanbase in the millions based on what a couple fans are doing

then you are an idiot and should have your internet license revoked.

And come on Mike, you’re just handing these sheeple spun-misinformation…

Actually those are positives — it’s when the Quarter doesn’t smell like urine and puke that New Orleans is in trouble — it means there aren’t any tourists.

I told everyone already ” contract, no contact” just wait itll get done drew and sean are still working out the plans for the season

No, you can still make fun of Packer fans who bought stock. I mean come on, the Packer fans seriously believe they own the team by going out of their way to cough up $250. Thats hilarious and fans across many different sports laugh at that.

As part of the new Vikings Stadium deal, the City of Minneapolis will have to pay at least $678 million over the 30 year lease deal, to cover construction and operation costs, among other things.

The City of Minneapolis has a population of about 382,000.

If you do the math, that comes out to each resident of Minneapolis paying an average of about $1,775 for the new stadium, regardless of whether or not they’re even Vikings fans, let alone whether or not they’d want to contribute to the stadium. (Obviously, I know this number is inflated as it doesn’t take into account taxes from businesses. I’m just trying to keep it simplistic. Either way, it’s definitely more than the $250 those Packers fans paid for stock).

That also doesn’t take into account the over $300 million the State of Minnesota is throwing into the stadium as well. And this is the same for nearly every new stadium, as self-financing is quite rare.

So……you still want to make fun of Packers fans voluntarily giving $250 to their team…..while fans of other teams are having more than $250 taken out of their taxes against their will?

Yes, I do. Because at the end of the day, NOTHING came out of my pocket and the stadium got built. Even if I did live in Minneapolis, I would not go around saying that I am part owner of an NFL franchise. Packer fans are absolutely blinded by the lore of a teams history to the point where they will throw away their money in order to say “you know that history…yea, I belong to it”.

There is no way that Brees would accept it. I think the lawyer would have went further with Brees had he said it would go to the Brees Dream Foundation instead of offering it to him. When I read it, I took from it that the lawyer fan was doing it to put into Benson & Loomis’s faces. Not Drew Brees. I sure hope a deal gets done soon myself. All you Saints haters, get a life and you won’t be clicking on every blog that mentions the Saints. See ya this fall when it matters! WHO DAT!

“It will be his decision to accept this BONUS; however, even should he decide that our gesture is not necessary and kindly reject it, the funds will go to his Brees Dream Foundation. It is a no lose proposition.”

It’s amazing what you can learn when you read a little.

…Says the fan of a team whose new boondoggle stadium will put its state further in debt when electronic pull tabs fail to take anyone beyond 60-year-old, chain-smoking, bar hags by storm.

I put “stock” in quotes as it’s really a voluntary donation to help the team do things like renovate their stadium without sticking it to the taxpayers. You will be hard-pressed to find one “stock-holder” who doesn’t refer to his or herself as an owner without their tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Donating to the Drew Brees cause is foolish because: A. fans pay for his salary anyway, B. he’s not going anywhere, and C. neither are the Saints this year – no matter how delusional some of their fans might be.

If some people want to be dopey enough to make that gesture for Brees with their own money they actually earned from working, I can (and do) laugh but it’s their dime.
