Default Drew Brees

Ok so I'll admit a bias.
I am a fanatic Saints fan despite a lukewarm relationship with the NFL itself. For a number of reasons, I dislike what the game has become.

But I wanted to shout out about Drew Brees and his remarkable career!
Look at what he's doing and the amazing records he is compiling.
He's also a very humble and grounded man who classes up the NFL a bit. Oh, were it to be that there were more players like him.

While I'm at it...does anyone understand the "passer rating" metric that the league came up with?

Last night,despite an all-time record for pass completion percentage, 4TD, no interceptions and 300+ yards, his "rating" was less than the perfect score.

A few guys get this mysterious perfect score each season. But to top the game that Brees had yesterday would be statistically pretty difficult. I suppose it must be the total yards. But I dont know the calculation method that leaves this game short.

Oh well. Congrats to Drew on a fantastic game. And a fantastic career. He's got a few more years to build on his records too.

Geaux Saints!
