They play Vikings Oct.28. Anthony Barr will take Brees out.

It’s exciting to have another team to watch. Could you imagine a #1 overall pick, haha! Then we’d draft Rodgers replacement and go another 15 years with HOF QB play

Drew Brees is 39. I hope he gets cancer.

NO! A bone spur will do the trick.

I'll see your bunion and raise you IBS.

FYI: Jeff Gillooly changed his name to Jeff Stone, in case anyone is looking for him...

Is it wrong to hope brees dies and leaves fatherless children behind for a high draft pick?

[run pMc]

Brees seems like a good guy, I don't wish him or NO ill unless GB has to play them. Even a late R1 is worth a lot IMO and normally where GB picks. Let's say NO ends up at #25 next year; you can package that with your own #32 to move up or use it to trade down with a team that wants to get back in later. It gives them a lot of options going forward. Of course, NO could totally tank and that benefits GB as well.

Gutey could still trade the pick for an early R2 this year, but I doubt it. I'd like to see them use those Day3 picks to get back into tomorrow. Lot of talent still on the board.

It seems like they waffle between great and poor every year, so my expectation is they will have a down year despite pretty legit talent. It stinks the corner they landed last year is so good, that will go a long way towards a legit defense.

Let's be kind. Broken rib or plantar fasciitits is all we need.

I mean, technically all you're actually hoping for is the silver lining... The residual guilt would be the touch of grey.

That's my Grateful Dead reference for this season.

[Bossman641]

Unless something dramatic happens, tough to imagine the doubts picking any higher then about 25.

[mraynrand]

Mark your calendars: 9-16-2018 Browns at Saints. Gregg 'bounty' Williams returns to exact revenge upon the Saints.

foreshadowing?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I don't get the uncool hatreds/death threats/death wishes fans aim at good, normal players, especially those whom, for whatever reason, choked in the clutch. It's just a fucking game. Yes, when your favorite team loses in a playoff game, and you live a wretched existence, you feel like emptying out your tiny bank account, marching to Vegas, and when the frogskin's gone, jump into a lake. But still, in the grand scale of things, it's just a meaningless game.

I can understand fans wanting Rae Carruth to rot in Hades, but what monstrous deed has Brees done? Believing that everyone should stand for the anthem doesn't justify damnation.

When I was 16 or so, and da Bulls had just won their 6th title, a local sports writer for the local paper wrote a column about Michael Jordan not being the GOAT. After reading it, I was pissed as hell. I sent said writer a fuck-filled letter condemning his opinion. That was the closest I ever came to sending someone a hate letter.
