Drew Brees says he might make a "difference" in politics

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Would Drew Brees consider a post-football career in politics?

The Super Bowl XLIV "MVP" and Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year" for 2010 admits it is something he has thought about.

"There are a lot of things I think about. I want to do this or that. I feel I could make a difference doing this or that. That's one of the things I feel I could make a difference. We'll see. It's a long way away."

Brees made the comment Wednesday at a meeting with reporters at Saints headquarters.

When asked whether he envisions having a political career when his playing days are over, Brees said "maybe."

"I'm not closing any doors. but I'm hoping I can play football for quite a while longer and then we'll take a look at potential opportunities."

Steve Young used to say the same thing.

I imagine Peyton Manning has given it a thought or two as well.

Your both ignorant. There are a lot of conservatives that come out of “Nawlens.” They just only go back to visit.

Born and raised- and still live in Jefferson Parish- and a registered Republican to the RIGHT of Rush Limbaugh! I was the first of my family to register Republican , during the Vietnam war, and my first vote was for Richard Nixon. So there goes your generalization.
We’re here- don’t know about Brees, don’t care- we’re outnumbered, but we’re here.
