Drew Brees is officially done at NBC Sports after one year. NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua told The Associated Press that Brees will not be a part of the network's NFL and Notre Dame coverage this year.
The New Orleans Saints and suspended coach Sean Payton will indeed be together again next season as the bounty scandal fades into history and the bid to win a second Super Bowl resumes.
Drew Brees threw a long touchdown pass to take ownership of another prestigious NFL passing record, hit three more scoring passes in an emotional victory, and then spoke hopefully of salvaging a season that had looked lost after defeats in New Orleans' first four games.
The 'real' refs very nearly took center stage in the Green Bay Packers game, who overcame a controversial call and 446 passing yards by New Orleans' Drew Brees to even their record at 2-2 and keep the Saints winless in Week 4 NFL action.
