NFL GDT: 2021 NFC Divisional Round: (2) New Orleans Saints vs (5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

but now this sets skip up for an all or nothing prospect since he feels VERY differently about Aaron Rodgers

Skip feels Rodgers robbed Favre another year in Green Bay. Favre was the ultimate diva, all about him.

Listen, I am a pro-wrestling guy. At the end of your career, you're going out on your back. That's how it goes.

Would've loved to get a Brees/Rodgers playoff game at some point, but just didn't get to happen

Michael Thomas had 0 catches?!

did Tampa secretly trade for Jalen Ramsey/Tre'Davious White

 

[Ted Hoffman]

Phillip Rivers isnt an all time great. Brees is.

Brees has a Super Bowl win. Rivers doesn't even have a SB appearance.

Marino went to an AFC title game two other times, for 3 total. Rivers went there once.

If you want someone who's the best comparison - great QB, put up stats, never won a title - it's clearly Rivers.

 

[These Are The Days]

No one will ever.... EVER hype like Dickie V

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Brees retiring makes me feel old...end of an era

Yeah. He doesn't like Aaron Rodgers at all.

Skip is going to be on pins and needles all week.

 

[jcs0218]

I’d pay to see Aikman knock goober bayless the f*** out

Skip once spread a rumor about Aikman.

 

[jcs0218]

Listen, I am a pro-wrestling guy. At the end of your career, you're going out on your back. That's how it goes.

Bret Hart didn't agree in 1997.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Yeah, thats what I’m referring to

Brees retiring makes me feel old...end of an era

He's about 10 years older than I am, I knew I was old when Luke Kuechly retired last year and he's 3 years younger than me and was in the league for 8 seasons.

Carlton Davis is crazy good

 

[These Are The Days]

Not really. Jameis is an upgrade on Brees.

You're too generous my guy. My severely arthritic grandmother is an upgrade over Winston. The Saints need to get out from under him while they still can. If they're lucky he will throw only 21 INT's as a starter

 

[GKJ]

Bret Hart didn't agree in 1997.

All they had to do was let him drop the title to Austin in the US

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Damn, yeah I’m a little bit younger than you but that’s definitely a gut punch.

The other night I was watching the Ranger game and announcer said ‘...veteran defenseman Tony DeAngelo...’ and that shit hit me.

Yeah I know the feeling, lol.

 

[GKJ]

The killer is when you remember when you saw them drafted. A time before they were in the league. And I knew of Brees the year before his draft.

 

[jcs0218]

That would have ruined their Wrestlemania 14 storyline though. Because then you wouldn't have had Austin winning his first title going up against D-X and Tyson.

 

[Tom Brady]

Carlton Davis is most underrated player in the league

He's a great player.

******* Arians embaressed him when he put him on Hill with no help over the top in the Chiefs game.

I didn't realize this until recently, but he was a 2nd round pick in 2001. The only thing I remember about the 2001 draft was Vick going #1 and LT going to the 1-15 Chargers at #5.

 

[DueDiligence]

Arians doesn't call the defense. That was all on Bowles.

It was shitty what happened, but probably right that it did.

 

[EpochLink]

His expression says it all.

I’ll miss you sir, enjoy retirement and see you in the HOF.

I remember thinking 'this seems dumb to make this trade' and then made more sense when Brees was picked in round 2.

Also remember the Mel Kiper graphic at the end of the previous draft as his top prospects for the following year. Was among the last times I was ever at my grandmother's.

 

[Terry Yake]

what a shitty way for brees to go out

sucks the stadium couldn't be packed to honor the guy who singlehandedly saved that entire franchise and took them to places they had never been before

 

[kovacro]

As a Saints fan, the last 15 years have been some kind of ride with Brees and Peyton together. The SuperBowl was a tremendous high for me especially considering my father had passed away the eve of the NFC Championship game versus the Vikes.

Very emotional when Hartley knocked in that game winning FG in OT to advance to the SB.

There were lows too, especially the last few seasons with the NFCG loss, Minny Miracle and last seasons OT loss. It was also unfortunate the Saints wasted a chunk of Drew’s prime years by not addressing the defensive side of the ball.

Thanks for the memories, Drew. Huge part in turning a laughingstock franchise and lifting a city that was just getting back on its feet after Hurricane Katrina. That Monday Night game, the first one back in the dome versus Atlanta when Steve Gleason blocked the punt early in the game was something you just always remember.

Going to be odd not to see him at the helm running the offense anymore. Next stop, Canton.
