Kiss My Asterisk
Perhaps I owe Mike Freeman and Pete Prisco an apology. Since this fake controversy stewed up by a couple of bitter reporters, all the Saints have done is put together back-to-back six hundred yard games and Drew having press conferences where he’s saying things like:
“We were pulling out all the stops, we play aggressive. We’re not going to apologize for that. That gives guys in the huddle a lot of confidence. We’re not going to pull the reins back. It’s pedal to the metal.”
Check out the stories that started this torrid onslaught of prolific offense:
Last week, CBS’s Mike Freeman had the audacity to make the case that the yardage record that Drew Brees now owns should be written in the record books with an asterisk. Today he wrote that the Packers are the NFL’s only great team. Meanwhile his coworker, Pete Prisco, published an article with this headline: “Brees’ record-breaking night tainted by decision to go for it late,” and still in another corner of the universe Jason Cole asks if we were “right” in running up the score.
I’m forced to ask a simple question: are they watching the same game as us? I can barely express how infuriating this is (on today of all days). Fortunately though, I think I can muster up responses to defend the honor of our quarterback, the quality of this team, and the depth of my hatred for national media coverage today.
