Drew Brees

Myth & Fact about Drew Brees:

Myth: Drew Brees was athletic as a child.

Fact: Drew Brees was never a child. He was came out 100% full grown bad-ass. Here is a picture of Drew Brees at 5 months of age.

Respect.

I will argue that Brees is the most valuable athlete in America.  Brees does not rake in the most sponsorships of any athlete.  Brees does not have the largest contract even in the NFL.  Brees does not even have a Super Bowl ring (yet!).

What makes Brees the most valuable athlete in the nation is what he gives to the city of the New Orleans.  He gives wins - and plenty of them.  But Brees also gives a sense of pride and a fighting spirit for a city that thrives on emotion and passion.

Brees is the shortest QB in the NFL, who was tossed around at San Diego before finding a home in NOLA.  He came here to a franchise in seemingly eternal disrepair, which was often dubbed the most love-able losers in sports.  He built a home in the city, built a damn good football team, and has carried the hopes and dreams of our city on his back all along the way.

We are lucky indeed to have him with our Saints.

Thank Breesus.
