Saints News, 7/23/14: Intense-Looking Drew Brees Graces Cover Of This Week's Sports Illustrated

Brees appears on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, in which he details his training regiment in preparation for his 14th NFL season. The pic is pretty awesome. Dude looks like he's about to morph into The Incredible Hulk! Don't make Drew angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. In other Brees-related news, Drew became the honorary mayor of Comfort, Texas today. Thus spake Saint Drew to about 1,500 people from a platform on the field there, "Well, now down to business. Now that I am the mayor, NO taxes," but then quickly added, "I don't think I have that authority."
