12/27 (Brees) Quickie

Found December 27, 2011 on Dan Shanoff:
PLAYERS: Drew Brees,  Pierre Thomas,  Ricky Rubio,  John Wall,  Marcus Thornton,  Andrew Bynum
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints,  Minnesota Timberwolves,  Washington Wizards,  Sacramento Kings,  Los Angeles Lakers

Drewbrees
Two words: Drew. Brees.*I am no sports prude. I have absolutely no problem with the Saints running up the score on the Falcons last night in order to get Drew Brees that Marino single-season passing record.My problem is with the folks who would chide Pierre Thomas for slapping a bow on a football after his touchdown then handing it to his mother, then turn around and congratulate Brees after the Saints QB would agree to something as superficially classless as continuing to throw the ball up a gazillion points late, simply to get a record he would have earned in about 10 seconds next Sunday.They both fall in the "sportsmanship" bucket, and you either have a wide interpretation of what is sportsmanship (Good for Brees! Good for Thomas!) or a narrow one. Hard to see how you can like one but not the other.*NBA: (1) Rubio! Most of the league tipped off their season last night, and the revelation -- the new hotness of hotness -- was Ricky Rubio, who looked spectacular and instan...

Moment to remember for Brees, Saints

Via Fox Sports  |  December 27, 2011
Once he watches the game replay, Drew Brees will be hard on himself. The New Orleans Saints quarterback will bemoan throwing two uncharacteristic passes into double coverage that were intercepted. He will feel just as badly about trying to call consecutive timeouts late in the second quarter, which is a Football 101 rules violation. There were 16 incompletions and three second-half...

Unnamed Falcons player upset about Saints running up score

Via Shutdown Corner  |  December 27, 2011
On the way to Drew Brees breaking Dan Marino's single-season passing record, the Saints scored a whole lot of touchdowns, and the Falcons resorted to a whole lot of field goals. One writer and an unnamed Falcons player had a problem with the Saints continuing to pass when they were up by 22 points. It was a questionable decision to say the least to go for it in that manner since...
