New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees retires from NFL after 20 seasons

<snipit>

One of the most prolific careers in NFL history has come to an end, as New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees announced Sunday on Instagram he has decided to retire after 20 seasons.

=================================================================================
There are only two professional athletes that I can honestly call my favorite.  Nolan Ryan and Drew Brees.  Both exemplified drive, grit, and guts to put up legendary numbers with little fanfare or bravado along the way.  True professionals.  Also, I really enjoyed how he made the retirement announcement by letting his children take the mic.  One class act for sure.

In recent years, I have deep 6'ed football.  With Brees retiring, it just gives me another reason not to come back.

Drew Brees is a perfect example of Kurt Shlichter's column today:  He took a stand against the National Anthem kneeling craze, then he caved and apologized for it, for which he won zero respect.

Yep.  Not his most sterling moment. Still he is a better guy than 90% of the thugs that infest that league.

And that's all he'll be remembered for.

Which is a crying shame, because he is talented.

Drew Brees will be in the Canton HOF, shortly, because of his ranking football skills
while the toddlers addicted to political horse manure will be instantly forgotten.

Because who is best at moving a ball over a chalk line is so much more important than whether or not Americans retain the individual right of self determination.

Brees' career was deemed to be over in 2005 by the San Diego Chargers.  The Saints got a steal.  The Chargers ended up with Phillip Rivers only because Eli Manning refused to play for them.

Brees - 571 TDs, 80,000 passing yds, 1 Super Bowl win
Rivers - 421 TDs, 63,000 passing yds, 0 Super Bowl wins
Manning - 366 TDs, 57,000 passing yds, 2 Super Bowl wins
