ESPN

quote:

Shaquille O'Neal urged the New Orleans Saints last Thursday not to let the media divide them in the wake of Drew Brees' national anthem comments, a source confirmed to ESPN.

"They're going to try to divide you, just like they divided us with the Lakers! Me and Kobe [Bryant], we had a great thing going, but the media divided our team," O'Neal said in the message during a virtual team meeting. "We could have won five more championships! Stay strong. Don't let the media divide you! Don't let social media divide you!"

Honestly a great message. Wish he could have delivered it before one of the defensive leaders told the QB to shut the frick up and post it to the public......Could have saved me from having to watch a game this year in the freezing cold Ralph

He’s right. But the fans are the only ones who care what the media is saying.

The locker room is good.

The locker room guys are the ones who gave fuel to a fire that didnt need to burn in the first place. A good chunk of the fans follow the lead of the players opinion. I dont know why they do, but they do.

thank god. It would have been tough for most of us to enjoy this upcoming season if half the team hated the guts of the greatest player to ever put the uniform on in his last year..

Shaw never ceases to amaze me. He gets it. He sees it. And he has the resume to speak up & have people listen. Can only hope the right folks are listening.
