The New Orleans Saints reportedly held a 100-minute meeting via teleconference Thursday that featured an emotional apology from Drew Brees and basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal urging the team not to divide from within moving forward.
Peter King provided details in his Football Morning in America column, noting he is "pretty sure" Brees cried during his apology.
What's more, one witness told King that O'Neal told the Saints a message along the lines of "They're going to try to divide you, just like they divided us with the Lakers! Me and Kobe [Bryant], we had a great thing going, but the media divided our team.
