Brees to Payton: "You are the reason that I am here … I want to win a championship for you" - article (1 Viewer)

INCREDIBLE article. Thanks for posting this.

"A year ago during the bye week, players are getting out of here. I was leaving the building on Sunday, and out on the field I see this guy in shorts with a ball," Payton says.
"It's Brees out there by himself, Sunday, 1:30. And I say, 'What are you doing?'
"He says, 'I'm just trying to stay in my routine, simulate a game, so my body is still in condition.' "

Not the best part about the article, but that amazes me.

and the part about Micah brought a tear to my eye.

"Micah was very depressed because he knew his time was coming to an end," his mother says. "But when Drew came in with Brittany, I started screaming, 'Drew Brees is here!'

"Micah woke up and started talking to Drew. They began to play the Wii games. The two of them were inseparable."

Brees wore a mask because Micah's immune system was so weak. Micah won every game.

"After his visit, my son began to do what Drew Brees does every Sunday: He continues to fight and win," Roshell says. "Three weeks ago, we went to the clinic, and nobody recognized Micah. He looked that different."

Says Micah, "Drew told me to keep fighting."

Micah is healthy enough to have a November bone marrow transplant."

As someone who works in healthcare, this kind of thing is very powerful. Never underestimate the power of love to another human being. Obviously, to Drew Brees love is a verb.

Now, go and get us that Lombardi trophy!!

Great and positive story by a national media outlet. That's a story in itself

Yes - the NOLA media has been good at covering Brees' off field activities but there has been very little national coverage. It is nice to see an article in a national newspaper that mentions more than his shoulder injury, passing yards and TD's.

That story about Micha really made me well up a little... outstanding human being, and I'm glad he's one of us.

You know, I'm not into man crushes or anything even remotely related to that sort of thing, but Drew Brees makes me want to be a better man.

Drew, you and coach are worthy of our praise. You are two beautiful human beings. Now go out there and win us a freaking Super Bowl, and stop crying together over your playbooks in coach's office.

 

[Frank The Rat]

Wow...that has to be one of the best articles I have ever read on anyone on the team, much less Drew. Drew is The Man!!!

 

[The SAINTaholic]

WHY WHY WHY in God's name would you want to give the enemy any more ammo....

 

[Big Lob]

Everyone knows football is all about man love. lol
