Drew Brees says wife Brittany ‘went above and beyond’ with 40th birthday bash
 

It must be hard to surprise Drew Brees with how meticulous and regimented his daily schedule is, but his wife Brittany pulled off the feat Sunday night.

After the New Orleans Saints beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, Brees went to Port Orleans Brewing Co. where his friends, family, teammates and coaches were waiting for him at a surprise 40th birthday party, and the quarterback said Monday it was a “total surprise.”

Brees turns 40 on Tuesday, and his party with about 150 people was certainly befitting.

Among the non-Saints special guests were Trombone Shorty, Keegan-Michael Key and Choppa. There were specialty cocktails topped with printed photos, including ones from Brees' childhood. The guests enjoyed a Superdome-shaped cake topped with a tiny goat. The swag included shirts, trucker hats and Yeti tumblers. There was an ice luge carved into the number 40. The floor was AstroTurf with yard markings that said 40 and DB. The Molly Ringwalds and DJ Mike Swift provided the music. Ellen DeGeneres sent a video tribute. The color scheme, obviously, was black and gold.

“My wife went above and beyond,” Brees said.

Several current Saints players attended the party, including Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram, Michael Thomas, Thomas Morstead, Wil Lutz, Terron Armstead, Max Unger, Demario Davis and A.J. Klein and Benjamin Watson. Watson, 38, joked that he and Brees were probably the only players who recognized some of the songs from the 1980s.

Coach Sean Payton was there as was former Saints offensive tackle Zach Strief, who co-owns the brewery.

“Everybody was there,” Ingram said.

And most importantly, Brees enjoyed it, and he was glad the party followed a win, one that sent the Saints to the NFC Championship next Sunday.
