Nothing current about this comment but I don't have anywhere else to put it.
I really miss Drew Brees. I've never been much of a Saints fan, I guess because my dad didn't care much for pro football and it wasn't Saints games he brought me to as a kid. But neither did I ever revel in their ineptitude, and when Brees came on board it injected life into a hapless franchise. But for me, it was mostly just about watching him play. Brady is the GOAT, Peyton is maybe the most impressive pure football IQ and I loved to watch him work...a host of other greats in my lifetime....but Brees was the most fun for me to watch. Something about his game was.....happy....for lack of a better word. And while he's not the GOAT, I think he has an argument for being the greatest diagnoser of a defense after the snap moreso than all his contemporaries.
And, it did give me a reason to watch the Saints and wish them well, which I guess satisfied a weird guilt I have for being a Louisiana kid and not giving much of a damn about them.
And for not being much of an NFL guy, I sure do miss him.
