I was recently prompted to consider the possibility that Drew Brees is the first great quarterback that New Orleans has ever had. Wow, the first! Being that I’m a Dallas fan and we have such an amazing history of talent (no bias there), the idea of a modern NFL franchise just now celebrating their first high caliber quarterback seems ridiculous.
It is hard to deny that Drew had a great year. He not only had ten 300+ yard games last season, but he also welcomed his first born into the world. Baby Baylen was actually born on Drew’s 30th birthday. This may sound cute, but I would really hate it. The LAST thing I want to do on my special day is spend it enduring a kid’s birthday party!
You may be lucky enough to have someone else around that buys presents for the children in your life. For those who have to make solo selections on kiddie gifts, I have a simple idea for you. It will help you avoid having to enter any toy stores or launching online gift hunts. Simply go into a major movie rental store (Blockbuster is a safe bet) and pick up the bucket style microwavable popcorn and one (or two) boxes of candy. Grab a $5 or $10 gift card and throw the candy and gift card in the bucket of popcorn. Not only do you have a great kid’s gift (ages 3-13), but you don’t even have to wrap it. I tried it recently and the kids at the party got excited at the mere sight of the $15 gift. Kids love the treats, but they also enjoy the power of making their own selections at the video store (especially if they have siblings). Trust me, it’s a winner! You’re the quarterback; I’m just here to protect you.
