1918 yards rushing. A 3 headed running back by committee. 17th in the league for yardage. 6th in the league for touchdowns. The 84 fins had an OK rushing attack but used Marinos arm more. Sound like any team we know?

I was just about to post something like this. Basically, it comes down to something similar to "old money" vs. "new money".

West Egg all the way baby!!!

Really?!! Please tell me what channel you are watching, because I got up the next morning so proud of Drew I couldnt wait to turn on the sports programs to hear everyone gush about Drew and what he did....but

Do you know what I heard? All I heard was how the record is tainted, the record needs an asterisk by it, the record is not the same because we make it too easy for receivers now, records not the same cuz the game is not the same, I heard how Drew was disrespectful for attaining it the way he did scoring on the last drive. So please enlighten me on where all this praise is coming from

Want the Truth? If this were Brady, Manning, or Rodgers...you would hear nothing but the highest praise coming from all the talking head...no one would make the comment about "football now is different from when Marino played"...no one would dare talk about an asterisk much less doubt throwing the ball constantly with under two minutes just to attain the record...No no no, any other quarterback would be called elite for doing what Drew did.

But this is New Orleans so we will have to put up with the backhanded compliments and disrespect...

This, I heard more about Tony Romo's "Bruised throwing hand" than I heard about Drew breaking the record. I saw nearly a 10+ minute segment on NFL network about who wins the NFCeast the morning after.

The only national shows that I thought gave major props and talked a lot about it was Fox Sports Radio.

One talking head said the record isn't the most interesting part of Brees career and played the bit where Oprah tried to wipe his birthmark off after our SB victory.
