Whatever you think of Drew Brees, you can’t deny that his assuming the analyst role for NBC’s Notre Dame broadcasts drew interest. After all, he surely will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, and folks always want to know about such former players’ post-football activities. Now, he reportedly is done at NBC after only one season. However, he was quick to refute the report on Twitter and has instead left his future open to speculation:
Despite speculation from media about my future this fall, I’m currently undecided. I may work for NBC, I may play football again, I may focus on business and philanthropy, I may train for the pickleball tour, senior golf tour, coach my kids or all of the above. I’ll let you know

There’s no telling how much of this tweet Brees is serious about. He really might not know what his next move is, or he might just be trolling everybody. Either way, it might be in NBC’s best interest to start looking for a new analyst for its Irish broadcasts. Perhaps it’s just as well because with Mike Tirico’s tenure as play-by-play announcer also up in the air, the time to start fresh appears to be now.
