Shooting the Political Brees

Seeing as it’s a political year and we all know sports and politics go hand in hand like peanut butter & jelly, let’s just cut to the chase. No sense of me blowing smoke up people(s), (or should I say voters) asses to try to get them to read this piece in my Sports Scuttlebutt. I’ll just come straight with it, Drew Brees’s style and have my agent send threatening letters to everybody who doesn’t read this!
Okay, so Drew didn’t exactly do that, but he did have his agent send his mother, Mina Brees, a letter Oct. 20 threatening legal action. Apparently Drew doesn’t like, want, or condone being in TV commercials. Can you really blame the guy…Eveybody who does those Chunky Campbell’s Soup ads always get hurt. And seeing as how he’s coming off an injury, I don’t think it’d be a wise career move. Although this was not in reference to a Campbell’s ad, it was in response to his mother using a picture of her son in the uniform of his former team, the San Diego Chargers, to emphasize her ties to football, as she touts her candidacy for a Texas appeals court. Um, Mina, here’s some inside information…Your son plays for the New Orleans Saints now. I think that might be sending the wrong message to voters as you are showing them you aren’t up with the times in your own family…So how would you be a good fit in the court of appeals? I don’t know, I might be totally off the wall here…It just might be a thought some voters raise? Who are your campaign advisers, Dumb & Dumber?
Although the bigger issue here is, what is up with the Brees family…Getting agents involved in family affairs? I’ve heard of dysfunctional families before, even have had the pleasure witnessing first hand, but never have heard of this. Drew, asking his agent to draw up a letter to send to momma Brees threatening legal action? "I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved," Drew Brees said. We get the point there Drew! What are you, a Republican and let me guess, she’s running as a Democrat, right? Got to love the politicians…Anything to win an election! However, I guess a simple phone call, email, text message, or even a fax was out of the question to notify her of your disapproval. Well LastRowSports.com is happy to report that Drew said he got no response from his mother when he first heard about the ads and called her to ask that she stop using them. So then yeah…She definitely had legal action coming her way then!
Although, I’m a bit confused here…Aren’t I always though? Momma Brees said her connection to football is relevant to her campaign because her father, a successful high school coach, used sports to teach her a strong work ethic that she would bring to the judicial bench. How does the Cover Two defense and Zone Blocking schemes relate to the judicial bench?
As a voter in this country, (well, honestly I must first renew my card) but hypelthhedicly speaking, I know everybody has his/her own problems at home…However, if one can’t control the issues in his/her own house as voters how are we supposed to give you our vote and put our faith in you as a politician? I mean Bill Clinton got away with his little misfortune largely in part due to the fact that every man in this country could relate to him in some way, shape or form. It’s fair to say his issues affected his personal life just like in your case, however the difference being his actions stemmed from the sexual variety, whereas in your case, I would have to question your ability to rule when it’s quite apparent you have troubles governing your own family. "I love Drew very much, and I'm very proud of him. But sometimes when people are following a career path, they change," she said. Perhaps this might be the perfect opportunity to put your career on hold and put your focus back on your family? That is if it’s more important to you than the Texas appeals court, Mina?
