Here is the transcript from the Jim Grey interview that sunk Aaron Brooks' career.
Full transcript is in this link.
http://saintsdoggle.blogspot.com/2005/12/entire-brooks-interview-transcript.html
JG: Aaron, commissioner Tagliabue stated that he thought the Saints would probably play some of their home games next year in the Superdome. What is you and your teammates thoughts on that?
AB: Wow. One, we don’t know how that’s going to be possible. It’s gonna take a miracle to do that. And two, how loyal are our fans? Are they loyal to the point where they would go back into that Superdome so soon knowing that what happened, what occurred in that Superdome during the evacuation? You know there’s just many questions. And I think as a football team, right now, I don’t know if we can say that we can agree with that.
JG: Do you think that the league has dealt with the Saints fairly throughout this whole tragedy?
AB: No (pause), not at all. I feel that more should have been done. And if they want to put the burden on the owner, I think some needs to fall on the Commissioner, on the NFL. I think everybody’s involved in the situation. I felt like the Commissioner should have came down and spoke to us immediately after it happened – regardless if anyone, whether it was the coach or owner who denied him the right to come down, I thought he should have came down anyway. Because he’s first of all the Commissioner of the NFL. Everything goes through him and the owners and our team needed to be addressed from that standpoint. And I think a lot of it has been swept under the rug. I think it was more of a political platform than anything. And I say that because our first home game was in New York after we just finished traveling from Carolina and other places to play a home game in New York. And when we get there, we got the Commissioner, we got the President, we got all these politicians on the football field in our way so that we can’t warm up. So, I took it personally. I had had to cuss him out. I told him [NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue]: ‘Get the hell off the football field.’ And I thought that was [b.s] because it wasn’t about that. It was a great cause, and I hope all the money went to all the shelters that were needed but I just thought it was [b.s.] and I think that they (inaudible) enough to help us out in the situation. And for those who don’t understand, come down to San Antonio to see what our conditions are like and what we are going through, and see our facility is being shuffled from month to month. And, it’s just bad. And, it’s just uncalled for. The league is worth over billions of dollars and you can’t accommodate a football team that’s probably worth over $600 million better than what we’ve been treated. I just think it’s [b.s.], Jim.
JG: Would you like to see the team return to New Orleans, or would you like to see them move on to San Antonio or Los Angeles or wherever else?
AB: Only if the city is feasible. If the city is feasible enough to where we have working hospitals, a working facility, a conducive environment that people can come back and feel enjoyable, comfortable. The schools are back intact, libraries, everything that a working city has and needs for it to be upwardly mobile, yeah I’d come back. But if it’s not up to par, there’s no need to go back Jim.
JG: Aaron, how do you feel he (Benson) has handled the players and the circumstances?
AB: Well, yeah, that’s just another situation. For me, I’m quite sure he could have done a better job. I’m quite sure he could have done a better job. I don’t know exactly what he was dealt with, and I’m not trying to leave him out of it either. You know, if he sells his team, he walks away with 600 million. I don’t think a couple of million would hurt him to make his players feel very comfortable every week. So, I’m more than sure he could have done a lot more. I’m very sure he could have done a lot more.
JG: Has he (Benson) addressed the team continuously and has he been involved in your guys’ lives?
AB: No, he hasn’t. No, he hasn’t, and neither has the GM. Nobody know what’s going on. We don’t know if we gotta let go of our leases or rent an apartment, rent homes. We don’t know whether the off-season programs are going to be here in San Antonio, back in New Orleans. We don’t know anything. The hurricane happened on August 29th, and we still have no answer on what’s gonna happen, where we’re gonna be, what’s going on. C’mon man, be for real.

Aaron Brooks cont.
http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/new...antonio-new-orleans/9lx071d7iinh1skl0rf51gm5k
Perhaps no career suffered more collateral damage than Brooks'. The quarterback's apparent outward aloofness had drawn criticism from fans before, but once Brooks' frustration with the season bubbled over into an interview with CBS and Westwood One radio personality Jim Gray, his career never recovered.
Brooks called out the NFL for its inaction. He called out owner Tom Benson. He complained of the conditions in San Antonio, at a time when many found it insensitive to complain about anything as Katrina's wake continued to affect New Orleans citizens. That was enough to give the football world red flags. But when he also questioned the city's readiness to reclaim the Saints, he also lost favor with fans.
"If it's not up to par," Brooks told Gray, "There's no need to go back, Jim."
The resulting Saints fan sentiment has endured, to the point that Brooks' induction into the Saints Hall of Fame drew consternation and column inches , despite his standing on the Saints' all-time stat ledger. It's a legacy Brooks regrets, if not the words.
"I don't take back what I said," Brooks said 10 years later. "I just wish I could have said it in a different manner where people could really understand that I truly care.
"I don't think a lot of people know this: I really love New Orleans. I love the culture. I love the people ... But somebody had to come out on our behalf."
Beyond fanfare, Brooks' words might have maimed his football career. Respected New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden suggested as much two years later as Brooks remained on NFL's outside looking in, despite quarterback needs across the league. He says the interview gave the team an excuse to make him the prodigal son. They called an emergency meeting; Benson spoke to the team to clear the air. Haslett sat Brooks down and asked if the quarterback supported his coach. The answer didn't satisfy; Brooks would be benched for 33-year-old Todd Bouman.
"Those who speak out get smacked. They get reprimanded," Brooks said. "And if I had never said anything, they probably don't set me down."
It was an unceremonious end for Brooks, probably the Saints best quarterback since Archie Manning. Haslett hasn't had another head coaching gig in the NFL. And both quickly faded into franchise memory. Drew Brees became New Orleans' quarterback, with a killer combination of a cannon arm, a communal connection and an easy smile. Coach Sean Payton's gutsy wherewithal took them to new heights. Brooks and Haslett, who?
Brooks and Carney lament less the legacies lost that year as they do the opportunities lost. Long before the Saints brought New Orleans a Super Bowl, the players said, the Saints failed the fans of New Orleans in 2005.
"A lot of us wanted to be back there in New Orleans helping our friends and neighbors and being a part of the rebuilding and healing of the city," Carney said. "Which of course was tough to do from San Antonio."
Brooks feels any number of gestures could have served fans better and given them reason to support a team flirting with San Antonio, a team losing every Sunday, a team still wearing the symbol of its city but staying away from its borders. The Saints could have issued PSAs, he said, or built houses, sent ambassadors — anything to present a presence.
"We could have eased the tension," Brooks said. "Eased the pressure. Eased all that stuff from their minds and their hearts, because they loved the New Orleans Saints."
Instead, the Saints brass seemed content to spend the season at arm's length from New Orleans, doing little to dispel San Antonio intrigue and relocation rumors while the Superdome partly built on the foundation of public funds sat empty.
"We were a disgrace," said Brooks. "Even though it doesn't seem like we messed up, we messed up. Because our city was messed up. If our fans are unhappy, then our team is unhappy. If our team is unhappy, then the city is unhappy. Because New Orleans is the team. The city of New Orleans is the football team."
I get more women wheni don't care what i look like that day. Women need to be the stars, so if you're too crisp, they don't fuck with you. This is why dusty dudes get all the play. She can always look and feel superior to him, all while field comments like "Girl, you can do so much better than him. He's not on your level." Old broads like the clean cut, well-groomed look. Cut the grass, take the trash to the curb, and go pull some females...in THAT order.
I've also gotten a lot play wearing a wedding band. I asked one of my female friends about that, and she told me, "That's because you've already been vetted."
@MissMighty is cute

@ backwards azz female logic
Pussy dont cause AIDS. If it did the whole earth of people would've died off a loooong time ago
I'm still going to practice safe sex.
I will NOT boycott the NFL this season! I do support C.K. and I applaud him for his activism, but until every player decides to boycott, I will keep watching.
Next, I wish the word coon, bed wench/buck and any other derogatory word describing Black people whose opinions and lifestyle differ from those who claim to be progressive, conscious or "woke" would die! I understand people believe in shaming those who are deemed toxic for the Black community, but name calling is not the answer! I say to simply don't associate with people who think differently, if it bothers you that much!

We agree.
There's no such thing as a stuck up/bougie chick. Either she fucks with you or she don't.

Going to comb through this thread
I never really had an opinion of the passionate, fiery, angry black leaders/activist of the black community. Whenever they used to talk they shit I used to be like "here we go wit this shit".
I now take them more serious than I did in the past. They can see and understand something that many black people cant, and its, that love, compassion, respect, equality, fair treatment yall want from white supremacy, yall are NEVER gonna get.
White supremacy has a longstanding track record of not doing it and has never given black folks even a small taste of what they have wanted/needed. Black people are waiting around for the white man to do something he just aint gonna do.
Only when white supremacy HAS to take a hit in some shape form or fashion for not complying with us, then and only then will they hear/understand us.
Black people need to acquire power

Funny you should mention this, because I have a relative who played ball with David Justice in college.
David Justice said the EXACT same thing about her, to my relative when they broke up.
She really isn't anything special once you get past her cute face.
What song is this from
If you haven't gotten it now you're probably not gonna get it.
Gang Starr "DWYCK".
HODL
Never been a Kanye fan,I have yet to listen to College Drop Out..I dig his production though
GOD, JESUS, and the DEVIL are as real as the tooth fairy
Prince is overrated. Has hundreds of songs, and MAYBE only 10 are good.
