Brees won New Orleans a Superbowl. He can open a taco bell in front of Jackson Square for all I give a shite.

That's a beautiful building are you kidding me?
Man people on this site know literally dick about architecture. Everybody bitches about NO Arena and it's probably the best looking sports stadium built for under $100 million since 1995.

Beautiful? No. Adequate? Yes. Nothing on maple st is as you seem to imagine it. Maple st is not a place that would be considered quintessential New Orleans. I don't see how jimmy johns is any worse than brunos or fresco cafe.

It's Painfully obvious you don't live in new Orleans. I wonder if you were this vocal when they put a Starbucks on maple street or on magazine st
Here is a list of small businesses on magazine st
Popeyes
Sherwan Williams
Ace hardware
Walgreens
Shell
I could go on and on
Which of these chains were started by New Orleans celebrities?
(Popeyes doesn't count as it is a chain that started out locally in Arabi)
I don't have any beef with Drew's Jimmy Johns franchise, but you have to admit it is a little weird for someone who is a big representative of our city to open a chain restaurant that serves sandwiches in the middle of a city renowned for its local style sandwich shops.

Not really. There are a bazillion subways all over uptown. I do not understand the opposition to jimmy johns AT ALL. As far as Poboy restaurants go there are only a handful of good ones uptown anyway. Parasols, domilices, crabby jacks...after that I got nothing

Are you saying that these Subways were opened by local celebrities? There's a difference between some guys in a board room in Milford, Connecticut saying "Hey, we think we can make a decent return on our investment if we move Subways into the Gulf Coast region" compared to a local celebrity of a city opening a sandwich chain in the middle of a city known for its style of sandwiches.
If Bobby Hebert opened up a Red Lobster in New Orleans, wouldn't you think he was screwy? (okay, more screwy than he already is...)

Not to Spoil all the Sandwich shop fun, But my original point has nothing to do with fanatics like us who post on these boards and bleed and cry for this team.
The Point is that NO American athlete commands more national respect, attention and goodwill than Brees does today. His talent for deflecting negativity, redirecting criticism and creating goodwill among even the most hardass interviewers, Hello David Letterman.
He may well be the villian in these negotiations, his ego run amok, and his demands ultimately destructive to the fabric of this team.
As it stands now however, National perception says that he is a Team first player, a wonderful father, and a selfless paragon of virtue in a cesspool of "Look at Me" thugs.

I do... Drew is single-handedly destroying the city he and his team helped revive with his rogue sandwich shops.

Tulane students will eat the shite out of Jimmy John's. Are you kidding me with the hate?
All of New Orleans is so scared of a little bit of change. Outside corps like this, albeit small ones, incorporated into NOLA on occasion will help the rebirth of this city. New, young blood from the outside has become the savior of N.O., quit fearing it.

MinnesotaTiger derailed the frick out of this thread on the very first response.

Well, yeah, Brees doesn't deserve all this praise.
He's a shell of his former self.
