Oh I see, you realized how idiotic your statement originally was and changed it


No...I like Brees and think he would rather have team success than individual success, but the way the record was handled seemed wrong to me...excessive...at the time. I understand what Terry is saying! AND I am being passive-aggressive again!

If you haven't noticed, the sports media (and the media at large) are ridiculous about their infatuation with records and always have been. If the treatment of Brees's record was 'excessive,' that's symptomatic of the media and sports world rather than something unique to the Saints

Go look at Favre's 421st td, Bradys 50th td, Ripken Jrs record breaking start, and PLEASE look at Emmitt Smiths yardage record breaking run....and tell me how Brees did anything excessive.

The biggest difference for Brees over the Favre and Brady TDs is that his was at home.

Of course the crowd and announcer will revel in it more.

Payton previously said he didn’t want to attend the game.

The black light of justice likely would reveal extensive lawyer fingerprints on this decision. It was horribly misguided to let Williams attend a game, especially after he gave a sworn statement implicating Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma as offering $10,000 to anyone who knocked former Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC title game. To erase the appearance of preferential treatment, the NFL had to extend a similar courtesy to the other folks who have been suspended.

It’s possible, if not probable, that Brees made the request not because he wants them there, but because he knows in his capacity as a member of the NFLPA Executive Committee that a rejection would have helped the cause of the players who face re-issued bounty suspensions, particularly Vilma.

And I don't understand what some of you people think Brees should have done. Should have have tried NOT to throw a TD pass since he was 0-4?
