Drew Brees has led the New Orleans Saints to only two winning seasons in the last six years and for that was offered a two year contract worth $50 million. Franchise owners are making so much money the green backs have no value to them. Even during losing seasons, football revenue keeps rolling in. Its like taking candy from a baby.
Sports writers will now tell everyone that Brees is worth every penny and how he will lead the Saints to another Super Bowl. They will tick off all kinds of personal stats for Brees like they have been doing all year but the most important stat is lacking, and the stat that is lacking is a consistent winning record. Saint fans ae already being told how the team will be much improved over last years team. But don't drink the kool aid.
One sports writer for the Times Picayune wrote the following: THE TWO YEAR $50 MILLION CONTRACT WILL LET DREW BREES SET MORE PASSINGH RECORDS AS A NEW ORLEANS SAINT. It seems that the writer thinks it is all about personal records and not a team effort. In the sports section of the T.P. dated 3/14, is a list of the top five paid quarterbacks and Tom Brady did not make the list. Its obvious the New England Patriots are receiving more for their money than any of the teams those five quarterbacks are playing for and Drew Brees and the Saints are one of them.
Saint fans beware, the team may not even make the play offs this coming season. And when it happens, you read it here first in PolitiDose and Brees will not have earned his salary once again.
