RIP, my prayers to Drew and his family as well.

Wow. I had an argument with my mother earlier today and when I read this, I called her back and apologized. Life is too short to not make every moment count with both your family and friends.

God bless you Drew. My prayers go out to you and your family.

not sure what 'pertains' means in this context-- but neither you nor I nor anyone else here knows what went on with Brees and his mother, or what type of person she was-- so i would hate to try to judge him based on their relationship.

One could infer that he didn't want his likeness used by someone that is shaking down business owners. It may not be but, if true, it certainly says a lot about her ethical boundaries.

Man I really hope Brees is okay. I hate to hear of anyone's parents dying.

As a man who lost his mother this past February to breast cancer, I can understand maybe some small part of the pain Drew Brees may be feeling right now. You feel so numb at first then the reality begins to sink in and that nagging gnawing feeling torments you or can hit a person at any possible moment. There have been times in the past 6 months when the memories become so raw that it defied any attempt by me to intellectualize it, instead it was an extreme sense of emotional turmoil. There were some days I didn't want to be on Sr.com, I was an emotional basket case in the few first few months. I didn't let anyone in because I was trying to figure it all out myself(still am in some respects).


You never ever stop loving your parents and they never stopped being that even after they die, that's the wonderful thing I can say about parents. One day I will see my Mother in a much better place, a place that makes more sense. Where there only be joy, happiness, no pain, and no death. That's something I really believe in as I type this perhaps getting tearing up as I write all this down.

I can only keep striving to use the God-given abilities to the very best in my life and remember the lessons she taught me and what my father continues to teach me on.

Mina Brees raised a very good son that in so many different ways made her proud, differences aside. She gave him a wonderful foundation on which to build on and from that foundation he gave an embittered city and a cynical fan base something to believe in again.

It's faith, it's determination, but it's also a miracle, and the greatest of all miracles come from people who teach us all that when we're on our knees, almost down for the count, to get back up on our feet, and to keep fighting.

That's why Chris Paul and Drew Brees are so special to us as New Orleans sports fans. They gave this city something to believe in again and in turn prevented us all from drowning even more emotionally after Katrina devastated this region so extensively.

I mean nothing sarcastic with that statement, trust me. I'd give Brees a free pass with my woman.

Moving on...

okey-dokey

When things settle down, I hope Drew takes it out on the field by punking our opponents for 5000 plus yards and a Lombardi trophy.

i kinda hope he doesn't because that would mean that our offense isn't very balanced and would probably lead to another 8-8 season.


but :17: to the Trophy.

Sad story. I'm glad the reason he missed practice wasn't because of his kid though.

my prayers go out to the entire Brees family
