Saints teammates try to keep Drew Brees 'cool' despite generation gap

Can you be considered "cool" if you're in your upper 30s and you're constantly around those barely old enough to drink?

Drew Brees faces that dilemma on a daily basis in the New Orleans Saints locker room.

Brees is 37 years old. He works with 12 wide receivers who are the combined average age of 23.3.

I'm 57 and still play rugby with the youngsters. I play, but I'm not as competitive as I am in the over 55 group. I feel your pain Drew. Having to show the young guns how to drink is tough on an older body.

The fact that you used the term "youngsters" speaks volumes lol.

I think the lifestyle of being a family man with a lot of kids at home is probably more limiting than the age difference.
