Drew Brees just broke Dan Marino's single season passing record.
It was a moment to remember and Drew Brees handled it with the class that has always characterized his career. What impresses me about Brees (likewise with Joe Montana) is that he’s not the prototypical 6’4” quarterback. He look so ordinary — he could pass for a clerk at Home Depot — but when the football is in his hand, he weaves a special kind of magic.
You’re right re_nortex, he is a class act. So cool he did it with a touchdown pass. Saints just won the NFC South.
I love that guy! If he worked at Home Depot, he’d be one of the most handsome workers there. I’d definitely shop there more often. He deserves the record. Who Dat?!
Awesome!
Awesome!
A real class act! Congrats to Brees and the Saints.
In the Super Bowl Brees will slaughter the Pack!
The Pack has no pass defensive qualities! :<(
Brees is great and all, but I don't even think he could make the Saints switch to the AFC.
It’s worth noting that Brees, a Pro Bowler for the Chargers, wasn’t needed by San Diego and was available to any team that wanted to sign him. Including my 49ers, who ignored the opportunity, and also ignored local boys Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers when they came out in the draft. Must be karma for having had Joe Montana and Steve Young back to back.
Indeed, a Packers-Saints Super Bowl will be one for the record books. :-)
LOL
Drew may best the Packers in the NFC championship but not the super bowl. To bad the Cowboys didn’t get him from the Chargers!
I saw him on Leno a few weeks back. I had to look up how tall he is afterwards, and I doubt he's even the listed six feet flat.
You guys have had a great year.
Just hoping you guys lose to the Rams so Saints get the second seed.
I just saw Brees taking a knee in the locker room while Sean Peyton was talking to the team, ala Tim Tebow.

How many games were in the NFL season when Marino played?
If it was not 16, then Brees’s record does not mean that much for now. But I’m sure he has a few good seasons left in him.
