Drew Brees’ latest play: selling burgers from a shipping container

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has put more money in the restaurant business with an investment in Smalls Sliders, a new fast-food burger joint.

If there's something I dislike about DB, it's this right here.
The guy is a professional athlete for the past 20 years, he doesn't eat gluten, dairy and what not, but invests in Fast Food chains again and again.

Does he have the right to make a living an "provide for his family"? Yeah, of course, this is the USA.

However, from NFL/commercials he already got enough money to take care of his kids and their grand kids.
Why not invest in the community and the nation by pushing more health-aware food products?

You can dislike this as much as you want, but I think it is slightly hypocrite for a pro athlete to sell burgers, sandwiches and doughnuts.

I'm generally hesitant to suggest what others ought to do with their money and resources. I tend to concentrate more on what I do with my own.

I bet you are quick to point fingers and judge ex-NFL players who wind up blowing all their money post-career.

He has a dairy allergy. His family has eaten pizza, albeit cheeseless pizza, his entire time in New Orleans. IIRC, he has a specialty pizza at some local joint named after him that he helped develop. And is on record as having a favorite In-N-Out burger (animal style) whenever he is in California. It's not like he's following the Brady diet or anything.

So I think he can help by showing folks that its fine to enjoy these as "sometimes" foods.

Congrat's. It's only Monday morning and you are already in the running for the dumbest post on the internet.

Coveting and jealousy isn't a good thing td2w.
Be happy and joyous for anyone that does financially well in life.
And then use him as a role model.

Just saying!

DB has invested our money very well since 2006

Who is Bress, and why do we care?

 

[Thunderchild]

Brees is a business man and sees the potential in hamburger vs tofuburger.

He also gives back a lot of what he has earned to the community in terms of both money and time.

I don't see one scintilla of hypocrisy in how he runs his life. And I certainly believe that I would be the hypocrite if I felt the moral superiority to tell someone else how they should give back to their community.

Never get high on your own supply...of burgers, sandwiches and doughtnuts that is.

 

[RKNSaint]

Morality aside I think its a bad investment. Burger places have been red hot for 2+ but I have begun to turn to healthier options. He may have missed the sweet spot.

 

[gavinj]

I think Brees is on to something here. For those of us that love burgers but are trying to be healthier about it, portion control is the key. “Smalls sliders” sounds like the opposite of Whopper or Big Mac and may indeed be the healthier option. I will definitely give it a try.

At least he isn't invested in dog fighting or seedy massage parlours in Florida. I am sure Drew being invested in Burger World won't hurt his Hall of Fame chances so no reason to worry it's his choice on where to invest his money. I don't see it as hypocritical it's a business investment.

I'm not sure why you care how he invest his money. I'm happy he re-invests it into the Louisiana area. Deuce did car dealerships and went broke with it. Also a little more research shows it's not just fast food places. Here is what he has in addition to the burger place: Jimmy John’s, Walk-On’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Title Boxing Club.

When you look these they aren't nearly as unhealthy as you think, except Dunkin and maybe the burger place. All Jimmy John's sandwiches can be an un-wich. It's basically a sandwich with no bread, or other wise known as a salad. Walk On's is a full restaurant. Also, you know the Boxing club isn't fast food.

Chill guys, everything is dipped with some humor. It's off season!

I don't care what he does with his money and yeah, he is much smarter that the broke retired NFL/NBA players.

I'd just rather see people making more "impact" investments (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_investing), but maybe it's just me!
