There's a bunch of bitches up in here who don't know the difference between a game color analyst and a studio analyst/talking head.

Brees is fantastic as a color analyst. A natural. Anyone who says otherwise has never heard him in the booth dissecting a game. He's on-par with Romo.

As a studio analyst, yes, he's vanilla and doesn't show much personality. But I learned that when I couldn't finish his boring book after reading Sean Payton's highly entertaining book in half a day. Still, NBC is wasting him in studio (& sedating audiences) by not having him in the booth.

The main problem is he tries to be to technical, explaining how every play is designed and rain,he uses his knowledge more than needed

Yes. I can’t even listen to him as a guest on Russillo’s show. I just skip it.

Drew Brees comes across as Mr. Clean. Wonder how angry he gets at home ?

Some people have a real tendency to point out what they perceive as weakness in others but gloss over their own weakness. I'll bet you cave (compromise) on a daily basis. Whether it involves an issue in your family or at work when a boss tells you to do something you don't think you should but you cave in and do it because the alternative could be rather unpleasant. Unless you can prove that you have never ever caved in (compromised) in any situation you are no more than a hypocrite whether woke or not. You have no way of truly knowing if he did what he did to please someone or protect his family or any other myriad of reasons.

It’s cause Brees is fake as frick. It comes through on TV.


And, he isn't quick with his words.

I disagree with whoever said he was worse in the studio. I think he is bearable in the studio, bc he has time to think, but he is horrible working a live game. Too much dead time when it is his turn.

That fake, greedy pos will eventually get better and make that grandpa, who would also say frick him, proud.

Well, given how some seeminly innocuous comments were taken a couple of years ago, I kinda get his hesitation.

You can tell the football knowledge is extensive, he's just too stiff at this point. I think he'll improve the longer he's in front of the camera

Romo was a beast the first time he picked up a mic.

Romo is the reason brees gets a chance.

Every station is looking for a Romo.

Brees is and always has been too PC to seem interesting. He’s always “on” and never gives an opinion about something off the cuff unless he thinks the answer is pleasing to his audience. He’s like a politician. Talking points essentially. yes, he’s boring as frick and says nothing other than the obvious.

He did it to himself. Dude was in a unique position that he didn't have to kneel down to them and he didn't say anything wrong. But he chose to take a knee and swallow that cock to his hearts content.

He's always had an awkwardly lame personality. Great guy and clearly had a different persona on the field, but I agree that this isn't a natural fit for him. Doesn't mean he won't work on it and become pretty decent over time.


There are very few I’d rather have in my huddle but anywhere else he’s just another guy and not a world class talent

Also, Tirico and Dungy must be borderline midgets. Brees is noticeably taller than both of them.
