Who Dats already thought the Saints' Drew Brees was a god, and according to Sports Illustrated's list “The Fortunate 50,” his pay reflects his divinity. With a salary of $40,000,000 and another $7,800,000 in endorsements (including his recent Wrangler deal), Breesus rounds out the trinity at number three, out of all of the athletes in the country.

Drew Brees is expanding his dynasty to denim. The Saints star signed with Wrangler brand jeans, joining the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brett Favre.  Soon, you'll see him outside of your newsfeed, striking poses on posters in nearby Targets, Walmarts, and K-Marts.

A mere two weeks after hosting the Super Bowl, New Orleans is ready to announce another huge event. Tom Benson, Da Mayor and the Saints are ready to make the official announcement about a big event coming to Da Dome next year. An advisory about the latest big news went out Friday, with details about an event in Spring 2014, but not the identity of this mystery event.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the economic impact of the Super Bowl on the city, but local businesses aren’t the only beneficiaries. Winners have been determined for the Super Service Challenge, as five local charities have received $25,000 through a partnership between the Brees Dream Foundation and Companies with a Mission.

A Two Dat Super Bowl win is out of the question, but our Saints are still getting some national recognition. It was announced Saturday that New Orleans Saints RG Jahri Evans and punter, Thomas Morestead will be joining QB Drew Brees in Hawaii for the Pro Bowl on January 27th.
 

On Monday afternoon, tourists won’t be the only ones using the French Quarter as a giant playground. The Verizon and Drew Brees-hosted “Verizon Race to Super Bowl XLVII” are offering an interactive adventure through the Vieux Carre, a kind of technology-based scavenger hunt for grown ups. The best part is, the four lucky winners win tickets to Super Bowl XLVII.

Once again, Breesus has emerged from the mountain with new wisdom, and it didn't include kind words for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. At a press conference Wednesday, Brees weighed in on the decision by former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to reverse the Bounty suspensions of Jon Vilma, Will Smith and two former Saints. "Basically what got overturned was 31 games of suspension, millions of dollars of salary, but most importantly their reputations," Brees said.
