Drew Brees at Target in Metairie (1 Viewer)

Me and Drew are just the same! We both shop at Target! I better hurry up and get out to Airline Drive. Can't let my back up see the field, even in mini camp.

Oh I bet he's shaking in his boots every time you walk in the door.............:hihi:
 
Something about seeing a kid's reaction to seeing a star makes me smile.
 
Since Drew came to New Orleans, he has always frequented the places the average person does.
one year we went to see the Christmas lights at Lafreniere Park. while we were leaving, traffic was backed up. Then when it started moving again, I realized why. Drew was standing in the Median looking at the lights. just hanging out talking to people.
My wife's co worker was at the mall with her nephew to get his picture taken with Santa Clause. She said Drew and his family came in and got in line a little behind them. She said they waited in line for about an hour before it was their turn. He doesn't see himself as higher class than the normal person. I will bet Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, during their career, never waiting in line to see Santa Clause. Something tells me they had their own private Santa come to their house.
I also read somewhere that they do no have anyone clean/cook, etc for them or have a Nanny. He's a down to earth guy. People around here love him for that. No doubt he could run for Mayor and win in a landslide victory against ANY opponent.
 
Looks like a lot of time spent with the cute blonde Mom. ;)

My fiancée very quickly met Zack Strief about 4-5 years ago in one of the various French Quarter Irish-Italian parades going on. He was grand marshall, sitting on a convertible drinking a beer. She ran over to get a picture, shook his hand and talked for maybe 10 seconds. She still talks about this. He's not even her favorite player. She still talks about this.

To be fair, I saw Drew Brees come out of the elevator next to me at the Ritz and just gave him a head nod (I was coming from the Hornets game looking like a hot mess and his wife was with him and very pregnant with their first... didn't seem like the time to stop him for anything) and I still bring that up.

I've met Mike McKenzie twice down here. Once at a Heat game and once at the Shuck 'n Dive in Ft. Lauderdale where many of us gather to watch the games. I was more excited the first time, because he had just retired (it was before we re-signed him for a few games in 2009), so he was still in shape, and not exactly used to being retired. And, he was like the first guy I met and talked to like that, so I was just shocked to have the opportunity. We chatted for like 20 minutes both times. He's pretty chill. But as I'm sitting court side 2nd row, thanks to my friend's old company, and I see Mike sitting at the baseline floor like 20 seats from Dan Marino, I was shocked, I just blurted out "Mike McKenzie, what are you doing here?" and he's like "I live here, gotta watch my Hornets play" (back when that was us).

So, TL;DR, I totally understand the reaction.
