New Orleans radio guy says Saints hiding Brees injury

[Miaoww]

Yeah, I mean I get why he wouldn't want the other players to know, but why is he playing at all if he's hurt that bad? One wrong step or hit could end his career.

Cos he's a football player. Those guys are generally insane.

People thought microfracture was what screwed up DeShaun Foster.

Did his microfracture surgery, which I believe he had his rookie season?, cause him to carry the ball like a loaf of bread allowing defenders far and wide to easily strip the ball?

No?

Guess that one's settled.

Just thought I'd add something here, guys. I'm really leaning towards not believing this story is true for these reasons: 1.) Why would they let him play football with these injuries without a knee brace? 2.) Why has he taken every snap in practice up to this point? And 3.) Why did he dropkick balls in practice and do jumping jacks in front of the press today to prove that he's healthy? Plus, he laughed when he heard the story.

Classy post. Not surprised really.

My only question is if he's hurt, why are they playing him, and more importantly why is HE playing. Something like that could end his career if not taken care of.

So they won't lose their bandwagon. Bandwagon > Drew Brees' Career

It was a joke (and an obvious Karate Kid reference). Lighten up man.

Ah, he pulls the class card now, even though his defensive coordinator publicly says poo like that. What a joke.

it's alright when gregg williams tells his defense to do that, but not when other teams want to?

DeShaun Foster or Stephen Davis?

Thank you Madden curse! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

fwiw...there's a whole lot that has come out that say's it's bunk and wilkerson himself has very little credibility as a rule.

How can something be 100 thousand-trillion-million percent accurate?

Heck of a percentage...

It'd depend pretty heavily not so much on him, but his source.

If his source is indeed a current member of the training staff, you'd have to take it pretty seriously.

If the source is a former member of the training staff (or a relative or friend or some such) then it starts to get iffy.

As far as the story, the notion that Brees would hide something like this is pretty easy to believe given the "soldier" mentality of the average pro player.

Likewise, the idea that the Saints - a team with a recent locker room drug scandal cover up in its history - would work to keep something like this hush-hush is no stretch either.

a guy with credibility equal to that of PFT might have the scoop on something that everyone else riding on the saints/new orleans/brees jock is covering up or ignoring might be the case. at the moment, the only explanations why this guy would be reporting this and not anyone else ventures into tinfoil hat territory.

saints went to some lengths yesterday bunking this report.
