quote:

Bill Simmons is part of a group of writers and analysts who have been critical of Brees' performance as a studio analyst for NBC, describing him as a "corpse" in front of the camera.

Since then, the New York Post has reported that Brees is out after one season with NBC, which didn't like his chances of becoming the network's next top NFL analyst.


quote:

After NBC apparently leaked news that Brees won't be coming back, Quinn points out that "he's not really wanted by NBC, he's not really wanted by the Saints. Maybe he will end up with Fox, but that's a tough pill to swallow if you're a first-ballot Hall of Famer."

When Arrington took over the discussion, the critique of Brees turned more harsh.

"He's just not as popular as he thinks he is," the former Washington linebacker said. "He's not as loved as he thinks he is and he acts out when it doesn't go the way he would like for it go. He's reaching out and he's crying out for attention."

Drew caved to the woke mob and back tracked about standing for the national anthem now looking back at the BLM movement bullshite he looks like an idiot. BLM cares about one thing and it isn’t black lives it’s putting money into the idiots pockets that run it.

If he didn’t stand up for his values and integrity, then why should people stand up for him?

I like how that cartoonist felt he had to put Brees' name on the front of his jersey. That is someone who is well aware of how dumb their audience is

Anyone taking this from a talking head is idiotic.

Sports talk is little more than gossip. Its where people stretch the truth and bash others for their own benefit.

He handles that whole thing so poorly and made himself a huge laughing stock in the process.

Brees cucked out to get in the good graces of NBC corporate.

They don't like him anymore because his rating obviously suck so they are kicking him to the curb.

Lesson learned: don't act out against your principles and look weak and undignified. Sure you would have never landed the NBC gig but at this point you would likely be in a minor Fox Sports role anyway. At least you would still have your principles and dignity in tact and be more popular with long term loyal fans. But now you lost NBC and you still don't have the previously loyal fans you lost a couple of years ago.
