Drew Brees retires. Unless he is not.
Fitness Trainer Todd Durkin recently posted a video on Instagram which shows Brees pushing a weighted sled while Durkin utters a string of superlatives: ‘What is he doing? . . . Drew, what are you doing? OK, he’s never done that before! . . . Do not know what he is doing. . . . I’m not sure what he’s doing. Never done before! . . . This is a new record, because it’s never been done before! ”
At one point, these words appear in the video: “Not sure WHY he’s so crazy today, but something needs to breed.”
The video surfaced at a time when Brees had not yet retired, and when more and more people were wondering if he would do it. After watching Tom Brady’s Buccaneers (a team that swept the Saints in the regular season) win the Super Bowl, Brees may consider continuing his career for at least another year.
Either way, Brees does not work like someone who generally commits to a healthy lifestyle, but like someone who exercises for something. Something that, as Durkin noted on his video, ‘needs to breed’.
