For more than a year, for Drew Brees it must seem like forever, the media has been talking about New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees turning 40. The actual event has to be a bit anticlimactic. But, here it is, finally, Drew Brees, born on this date in 1979, is 40. The big four oh.
And if the savior of the city of New Orleans, the man who lifted the beloved Saints to a Super Bowl victory in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, is Breesus, then today is Breesmas and cause for appropriate celebration.
The gigantic wall that the media has made out of a man’s 40th birthday doesn’t look so big now.
