Apparently New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton compared quarterback Drew Brees to Ferris Bueller last week. I don't have the exact quote handy, but that seems about right.
Brees is pretty darn cool out on the football field. And he's very popular among the fans: the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads-- they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
I just hope the Saints will never leave New Orleans due to "something 'D-O-O' economics".

I've been looking for a Ferris Bueller soundtrack for quite some time, but I think they made the movie before all of the hoopla over soundtracks as another way to milk money for the film industry came rolling in.
So, Payton basically said Brees' philosophy is "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it"?
Kewl. Save Drew Brees!
If Drew can average a measley 309 yards per game through the next 10 games, he will break the all-time single season yardage record, held by Dan Marino...
He's doing this all on a surgically repaired throwing shoulder.
This is the guy that former LSU Head Coach Nick Saban decided wouldn't hold up long-term and chose Daunte Culpepper over...
Neither of those two clowns are even in the League, anymore...
I think Brees' story is one that folks identify with: A high school football legend playing and coming up in Austin, but shunned by his hometown and state University in Austin in favor of a kid from-where else-Baton Rouge in Major Applewhite.
He goes to toil in the Big 10, setting all sorts of records...
Gets drafted and plays for a crappy team after Eli Manning-another New Orleanian-refuses to play for San Diego in a bit of a childish forcing of the League's hand.
Brings them back to respectability, but then has them draft another phenom QB behind him, and gets his shoulder hurt on the last play of the last game of his career in San Diego, which helps them avoid paying him, and he's shunned again...
New Orleans embraces him, he finds a kindred spirit in Payton, and finds a town who loves him, and simply becomes the best player at his position in the league today.
Who can't love that story?
You are a neo-maxi zoom dweebie.

Is "Neo-Maxi Zoom" a reference to some cool new Nike kicks that I'm out of the loop on?
Seriously...plug me in to that 411, homeskillet...I mean, on the real...
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
