Superbowl MVP Drew Brees Visits David Letterman At Late Show
Drew Brees visited David Letterman at the Late Show last night to discuss the New Orleans Saints' win at Super Bowl XLIV. Letterman, an Indianapolis native, confessed that while he was sad to see the Colts lose, his disappointment melted away when he saw Brees celebrating with his adorable son.
Brees says that a focus for the Saints was to never look at the scoreboard, and they were down by 10 Sunday before coming back to beat the Colts 31-17. Brees and even sends Letterman out for a pass to close out the segment.
Letterman congratulated Brees, despite confessing his initial frustration over the loss of the TV host's hometown team, the Indianapolis Colts. He told Brees that was angry about the loss, but "then I saw that image of you and your son, and suddenly I just felt fine about everything because to me that coalesces, that crystallizes, that explains visually what really it is all about. Congratulations for that moment right there, that's fantastic."
Letterman and Brees spoke about the moment when Brees held his baby son Baylen to celebrate after the big win. "When we saw you on TV with your son, it looked like you were both sort of just looking around, enjoying the experience. Is that what it was?"
Brees responded to Letterman, "That's exactly what it was — just trying to enjoy the moment. And you know, I'd been dreaming of that for a long time, even before he was born. Having the opportunity to win the Super Bowl and stand up on that during the trophy presentation and have him in my arms and just to be able to take it all in and I'm sitting here telling him the whole time just how much I love him and just telling him, 'You know, little boy, you just don't even know what you're experiencing right now.'"
