METAIRIE, La. -- Drew Brees has had enough time to cool off now. But he had not yet reached that point just two weeks after the New Orleans Saints' gut-wrenching loss in the NFC Championship Game.
When asked if he enjoyed seeing a fellow 40-something win the Super Bowl when Tom Brady won his sixth ring in February, Brees admitted, “No. I was still pissed.”
Maybe the Saints will never be able to get over the way they lost that NFC title game -- the victims of the infamous “no-call” that led to drastic changes in the NFL’s pass-interference replay rules.
