Saints fullback Heath Evans, who filled in Monday as the Skip Bayless foil on ESPN2′sFirst Take, got the ball rolling by explaining that Saints quarterback Drew Brees played for six weeks with a torn MCL.

“Sorry Drew, I love you, but Drew Brees played six weeks with a torn MCL,’’ Evans said, per Brian Allee-Walsh of NewOrleans.com.  “I know what Drew Brees did with a torn MCL.’’

In early October, Ed Werder of ESPN reported that Brees indeed had a “minor

This is getting annoying as hell. People act like every single injury is exactly the same and people's bodies are exactly the same.

Don't worry, Deadset. We cool even if we don't agree on something.

All MCL sprains aren’t alike, however.  Brees’ low-grade sprain and Jay Cutler’s reportedly Grade II sprain are very different injuries.


Key sentence.  Resemblance is there of course.  Evans should have just kept out of it but athletes can't help but running their mouths.

He's an Indians fan. I'll let it go.

I probably wouldn't have said another word in the other thread if I hadn't been directly referred to (since I'm the go-to for all things negative about Cutler).

^ Polamalu plays SS, Drew Brees is a QB just like Cutler. This article has way more substance than any of the numerous tweets going around.
