Brees Gate

Yes, the addition of the word gate to scandalous activity continues. I have indeed invented "Brees Gate" detailing the most disturbing scandal of the NFL offseason. 


 If Tom Brady had his contract up at the end of a season could you imagine Bill Belichick not getting Tommy a new contract before the trade deadline? What about if Aaron Rodgers was in the same situation, can you imagine Ted Thompson not immediately signing Aaron Rodgers? If you said yes to the first one you are probably a Jets fan. If you said yes to the second one you are probably a bears fan, and both of you are full of wishful thinking tonight.


  I would wager that not even the Carolina Panthers with unproven second year QB Cam Newton would allow him to be going on the last year of his contract past the trade deadline, much less into the offseason. So why does it seem that Mickey Loomis is stuck playing hardball with record setting quarterback Drew Brees?


 The most common exscuse I hear is, "well, you know, Mr. Loomis has been busy with a bounty scandal." Too which I say, phooey! He should have had him signed before we even got into the playoffs, at least two months before any bounty scandal news. 


 I say if Mickey Loomis doesn't sign Drew Brees before the start of the pre-season Mickey Loomis should be fired on the spot. Now, I don't believe for one second that Drew Brees will miss any pre-season games, much less regular season games. But if he does, Loomis should be fired. It is simple  the Saints are a super bowl contender with Drew Brees. Without him they are a 7-9 team if that.


So in closing, Saints fans, if Drew Brees is not signed before mandatory team activities (training camp) begin we need to call our General Manager and get the real scandal of the offseason taken care of.
