JUST BREES-ING ALONG

Some inmates at the Beaver County correctional facility had a surprise guest speaker when New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees showed up at the southern Utah jail on Friday.

County officials had heard he was coming, but even they were skeptical.

"I was pretty blown away by the idea that somebody like him would come to a small town like Beaver, Utah," Sgt. Curt Heslington of the Beaver County sheriff's department said. "But, lo and behold, Drew Brees showed up today."

Brees spoke Friday to 124 inmates in the Beaver County residential treatment program. In two one-hour sessions, Brees encouraged the inmates with reflections on the trials and tribulations of his life and career.

"What Drew Brees did for us was incredible," Heslington said. "He just basically focused on the highs and lows of life. It was highly motivating, not only for our residents but for me and for the staff."


I just don't understand? How in the HELL do the Chargers let someone like Drew Brees go, it's unbelievable. But, thankyou GOD that Nick "I CAN'T STAY LONG" Saban made the biggest move in the NFL for the 2006 season. Brees is the type of natural born leader on and off the field that we've been needing around here for a long, long time. So whenever your giving thanks for whatever, give an old thanks to "NICK THE QUICK" for making one of the DUMBEST moves in football history, a move that still haunts the Dolphins to this day.
