saying Brees doesnt give a shite anymore isnt very valid.

Are you not watching the same post game interviews and pressers as i am this season?

There's no intensity. No spark.

Of course the guy still cares. Of course he still tries. But do i think he is trying nearly as hard as he did a few years ago? Do i think he is nearly as invested in the team and in the preparation as he was a few years ago? Absolutely not. He's getting older, he has 4 kids, he has a worse oline. There's plenty of reasons why his play might not be as stellar. I'm not discussing that. Mentally he is not as invested. Neither is Payton.

It's understandable. Throwing yourself completely into your profession for 5 or 6 years wears on anyone. No one can sustain that kind of commitment forever. And especially now he has 4 young kids he wants to be there for.
