I usually am seeing things right along with you, so this is one of the few times that we disagree, and that's cool.
One thing that I have to clarify (again): I'm not upset. I have much bigger things in life to direct my worry toward, and he doesn't even remotely come close to making the cut. However, I do have a choice of who I support and who I don't, and my choice is to not support him because of this.
I also disagree about Drew being the face of the city. I have somewhat of an advantage on you in that I don't live in the state any longer. I get lots of people that stop me in stores when I'm wearing Saints gear to mention Drew Brees, and many aren't football fans. He's one of those athletes that transcends sports because of all his humanitarian efforts, especially in NOLA. Not to mention, I don't think there's a product to hawk that he's ever turned down, so he's everywhere on TV, too. :hihi:
Anyway, as far as Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless, I think if you were to compare any analyst or writer worth their salt to either one of those guys, I think they'd be highly offended. I can just about guarantee that Nick Underhill would be - he's great at what he does, and it's not close to those guys. Those guys are essentially the shock jocks of football that are given their points of view to debate, but I know you know that.
