Drew Brees is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL right now and Brees is thankful for the chance that the New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton gave him. After Brees and the San Diego Chargers could not come to terms on a new deal back in 2005 Brees’ options were the Saints or the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were reluctant to take Brees because of his shoulder injury that required surgery. It was the Saints who took a chance on Brees and they have reaped the benefits of sticking with Brees.
Since Brees joined the Saints they have won their first Super Bowl and have been a perennial playoff team for the past few seasons. Brees was quoted this past Thursday and had this to say in regards to head coach Sean Payton: “Sean Payton gave me an opportunity when a lot of people were not there to give me that opportunity.” Brees owes a lot of his success to the Saints and Sean Payton and it has proved to be a win-win situation for the Saints as well as Brees.

In a world where drop kicks are attempted in the Pro Bowl, New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees did his best to try accomplish the feat.
Sadly for Brees, the drop kick he attempted didn't even come close:

Dear Mr. Shawn Payton,
It's just a game.

The Detroit Lions 10-6 season ended when they traveled to the Superdome in New Orleans and while they held strong for three quarters, got beat by the Saints 45-28. Overall, Detroit fans took the loss pretty well. Not many expected the Lions to beat the Saints after the Lions were dominated by New Orleans...

On the New Orleans Saints official twitter page, @Saints, Drew Brees shared his thoughts on his tight end, Jimmy Graham. Brees had this to say, “He has a chip on his shoulder that I feel is always going to be there because the kid wants to be the best.” I think Jimmy Graham having a “chip on his shoulder” is a great thing for such a great athlete to have. For one, it ensures...

The Detroit Lions needed some help in their playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints. Defensive help that is and not help from any crazy fans, like the one who thought it was a smart idea to phone in a bomb threat to the Superdome during the game.The fan, 34-year-old Shawn Payton of Jackson, Michigan, called the Superdome during the game and asked the receptionist to pass along a threat...

Carolina Panters Rookie of the Year Cam Newton played the entire second half of the Probowl Sunday in relief of Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees, and kind of stunk up the joint — Newton completed just 9-of-27 passes for 186 yards, with three interceptions — including one that was returned for a touchdown. He did do very well off the field...

---Drew Brees said in a sideline interview of Sunday's Pro Bowl that when he and Doug Flutie had been teammates in San Diego Flutie, a master of the drop kick, had taught him how to do it.
So with Flutie in the broadcast booth, Brees decided it was the perfect moment to emulate him, but the kick for an extra point was too low. Brees told Flutie that his drop was too...

Shawn Payton threatened to blow up the Superdome in New Orleans?
Yes, apparently he did. And no, it wasn't the coach of the Saints (whose name is spelled Sean) who called in the threat on his own building.
According to federal court records attained by The Detroit News, Shawn Payton of Jackson, Mich., twice phoned in a threat to the Superdome...

In case you missed it, you can catch highlights of Sunday's NHL All-Star Game above. It featured slightly more defense and competitiveness than the Pro Bowl, although with Drew Brees attempting drop kicks, maybe that's not saying much. Your announcing schedule for the week on ice is below.

The Pro Bowl has mercifully ended in a 59-41 AFC win and the Saints players that were involved all had notable moments. The NFC coaches decide to leave Cam Newton in for the entire second half, and he was an absolute disaster out there. He was horribly inaccurate with his throws, his footwork was terrible, he threw three miserable interceptions, and he struggled to shake off the...

Last night, the worst all-star game in professional sports was saved by one prevailing thought for football fans –there is an actual game next week to look forward to. Otherwise, the Pro Bowl of 2012 was the same four quarters of defenseless crap that has stormed the beaches of Honolulu for years. No one tried to stop any of the six quarterbacks from marching down the field, allowing...
