QB Drew's Mean Streak


Saw this in one of the Deadspin mailbags, and I have to admit, it frightened me a little:

"I worked at a summer camp in Texas throughout college. The camp director, an old Texas high school football coach, told numerous stories about the camp's most famous alum, Drew Brees. One of his favorites involved Drew's absolute dominance for many years of camp dodgeball, breaking several noses along the way."

Guess he's not always such a nice guy!

i want to play dodgeball right now

not against drew though

Yes, Sean Payton is the new Zorro. He leads wild adventures, quaffs the finest wines, embarrasses his enemies and leaves a extravagant calling card in his wake. Try as you might to stop him, but he's always one sip ahead.

Note to self

Don’t play dodge ball with Bressus

Players who should be in the Hall of Fame: Pat TIllman, Dwight White, Donnie Shell, L.C. Greenwood, Ray Guy, Steve Tasker, Greg Llyod, Andy Russel, Cris Carter, Kevin Greene and Jerry Kramer

It's the law of the middle school jungle

It has nothing to do with being mean.
There are those who throw lasers and those who get their noses broken.
Where did you think Drew would be in the heirarchy?

I'm telling it again

8th grade Junction City Junior High School gym, skinny doofy farm kid Ralph got the dodge ball (volley ball) right square in the face from a freshman who probably flunked a couple of grades. His glasses exploded, Ralph dropped to his knees, spit his front tooth (and blood) out on to the new gym floor. Almost 40 years ago, I’ll never forget it.

There was a kid I went to camp with...

Dude was about a 7th grader at Alpine Camp in Mentone, Al. He threw the ball so hard one time, a kid ducked and the ball splintered a wooden plank in the gym wall behind him. The thing just exploded. I’ve never forgotten it.

Then there was the time I was at summer-school at McCallie in Chatanooga. I drilled this dork at point blank range, basically spiked the ball on him. The ball rebounded so high off him that it knocked out one of the lights hanging overhead in the gym. It was legendary.

Anybody else with good dodgeball stories?

BY THE WAY . . .

I didn’t really mean “mean,” or rather, I meant it in a good way. The opponent’s physical well-being is not an overriding concern, let’s say.

  1. plays hard, and if you don’t want to get hurt, stay out of his way.

by DrZin on Mar 11, 2010 5:25 PM CST reply actions  

And This One Time, At Dodgeball Camp.....

I remember Brees being interviewed once and it mentioned that Brees threw at the facemask of his receivers. I wonder if there is any correlation to being a Bad @ss Dodgeballer who breaks noses and his aim at the facemask of receivers.

He’s just trying to give them a belated birthmark. Kind of like the Elway Cross, only facial.
