When Drew Brees speaks, many people listen. And not just in New Orleans. After a training camp practice this past weekend in Metairie, the Saints quarterback fired the latest salvo at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Nobody trusts him. Nobody trusts him," Brees said when asked about players' attitudes toward Goodell. "I'm not talking about a DUI, or using a gun in a strip club, which are pretty clear violations. I think there're too many times where the league has come to its decision in a case before calling a guy in, and the interview is just a façade. I think now if a guy has to come in to talk to Roger, he'll be very hesitant because he'll think the conclusion has already been reached." While two current and two other former Brees teammates with the Saints await word from a New Orleans federal court whether their injunction to block suspensions by the NFL from the 'bounty' scheme claims against the team, the court of public opinion to be stirred by more questions about whether Goodell has used his power fairly in this case.
