Big John Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Undecided on what he is going to do, but unretiring is on his list. https://twitter.com/drewbrees/status/1525989165824847873?s=20&t=y9yDMfF5YZtfjmdEvFwb5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Sounds like this all relates to news that Brees is out at NBC after just one year. https://nypost.com/2022/05/15/drew-brees-done-at-nbc-after-one-season-as-nfl-analyst/ https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/05/16/drew-brees-responds-nbc-departure-analyst Strange drama from Brees, maybe he's hurt that NBC didn't want see him as their future game analyst and then Fox throws 100 zillion dollars at Brady to be their guy, whenever he decides he's done playing.

CrazyCajun Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) They didn't give him a chance. You cant expect a rookie to be perfect after his first time. Give the man a chance. He is usually a well spoke person. I think they didn't like how everyone was pulling for Tampa to stomp the Saints and he was the only one voting for the Saints and he was right at the end. He needs to be the breakdown play person like Romo. Edited May 16, 2022 by CrazyCajun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I used to be on a forum that had a log of discussion of sports broadcasting and they read and follow many in the industry. The consensus of experts is some guys are good at doing the game broadcast and offering commentary, others are better suited to a studio show, be it pre/post/halftime or completely separate. I don't watch much of those shows including Football Night In America where Brees joined Tony Dungy. I also don't watch college football so didn't see how he was on ND games. The networks are making major changes, looking for the next Romo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also did one NFL playoff game (Raiders-Bengals), one article I read (NY Post) said he did poorly in that, I don't really recall. Most broadcasters are not great or horrible, some I just find annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCajun Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) So I just watched an exchange between Dan Orlovsky and Stephen A. Well Stephen is starting to aggravate the crap out of me more lately. This man doesn't know manure about teams. Dan is the only analyst I seen so far that knows the Saints are so underrated and a quiet storm is coming. He knows if Brees were to come back and Saints bring him in it would be the worst decision ever. I love Brees but he cant throw the deep ball. That's why they got Olave so Winston can do what he does best. They need more explosive plays and Winston is a good QB for that potential.

Terrible habit, but it is what it is. I had to move my morning alarm up 10 minutes so I could change the channel in time (from ESPN to NFLN) so I wouldn't get woken up to SAS yelling at me at 7am. By far the most annoying sports TV personality out there right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen A has definitely said comments that can be considered as racist by some. But whatever…he gets paid to flap his mouth, and inevitably sometimes stupid stuff comes out. I tend to give people a pass unless it’s just obvious and relatively consistent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the most annoying sports TV personality out there right now. I tuned out SAS completely after some episode a few years back where he was screaming about somebody who had been retired for like a year or something. The screaming is one thing, the screaming + not knowing what you are talking about is more than I can handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Stephen the big A-hole Smith, how anybody could stand to listen to that guy is beyond me. As for Brees and the drama, I think some of that is attributed to him saying he may return to NBC when reports are that relationship is over and it was mutual. And of course joking about returning to the NFL. He should focus on the pickleball stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a white guy was as pro-white as he is pro-black he'd be called a racist 7 days a week. Somehow it's excepted and tolerated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 He might be fine for basketball, idk because I don't watch basketball much. I think the problem is he tries to act like an expert on football and he clearly doesn't like it or pay attention enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 If it was at all possible, I have much more appreciation for Drew's ability to, not only overcome his shoulder injury, but to do it at such a high level. It's amazing to say that the injury likely and ultimately cut an incredible career short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
