New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees(notes) downplayed reports that Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was rude and condescending to him and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Drew Brees during a bargaining session at the Super Bowl.

“I think there was a lot of rumors probably coming out of that CBA negotiating session that Saturday at the Super Bowl," Brees told XX 1090 Radio in San Diego, per SportsRadioInterviews.com. "To be honest, I haven’t even seen the comment that was made, but I heard it was from Jay Feely(notes) who kicks for the Jets. And he wasn’t there at the meeting. I’m not sure of how that got out or why.

"But no, I mean, it was my first bargaining session to be at and obviously there was a lot talked about. And emotions run high at times, but there was nothing that was derogatory or demeaning, so I’m not sure how that got blown out of proportion.”

I am a bit disappointed, actually, because I was proud of JR after thinking it through. Manning has no more business in JRs meeting as JR has in Manning's huddle (although JR has been in the Colt huddle before and Manning has never been in a negotiation of this nature, I am willing to bet). If you want to crunch numbers and you only know Xs and Os, then prepare to be schooled.

I would have believed it from a Jerry Jones, but if JR said it, it needs to be said. Many got upset with his tone at the news conference. He was putting the reporters in place. They are like dogs waiting for scraps at the table. Many cross the line between reporting the news and creating it. He don't play dat.

For the record this came out several days ago on the record and then the fact that Jerry was actually a dick was confirmed off the record so I feel like we're just going back in time here but OK let's pretend this article means something and Drew Brees plays for the Colts.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By frankw · Posted

      I think the Bevell hire has more to do with adding actual veteran head coaching experience to the staff than anything else. But I do wholeheartedly agree that the obsession in general with Seattle needs to come to an end. I mean we plucked the one guy there to be our GM who turned out to be our worst GM in franchise history in just a few short years and that's really saying something given our history there. Clearly trying to mimick Seattle in any way has not been productive. As far as Idzik many of us have asked the same question but at this point in time it doesn't really matter anymore because Canales is either going to lead this franchise to a winning record or he will be shown the door.

      That’s why Bevell is a good move. Idzik might not be chopped liver, he is just inexperienced and even less ready to be the play caller than Canales. I still say the playbook is limited which is a hinderance to calling plays, I would imagine.    Anyway Beavis lol… no Bevell, got to consecutive SBs as an OC and won one with 48 points or something. Should have won the second one. And had several more good years there.    They were the team we had to learn how to beat it took us til the third year I think before we could go into Seattle and successfully compete.   That is glass half full thinking, yep, but that is head and shoulders over what we have had here for a while. Certainly now.     In addition.. It was Canales’ boss. He knew more then , I would bet he knows more now. I can’t look at this as anything but a potential positive thing.  Hell he might be the guy that can look at Dave and say what the fug are you doing? And Dave will listen. I think I can hope for that.  Maybe not.
