New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is more than just a little amped about playing tonight’s preseason game at the Superdome.
The opponent is the San Diego Chargers, the franchise that five years ago was less than enthused about trying to keep Brees on its roster and eventually let him walk in free agency to the Saints.
Brees has never forgotten about his departure from San Diego and his arrival in New Orleans.
But the excitement for Brees, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, has nothing to do with getting an opportunity to rub it in to the Chargers. Instead, it stems from this being the third and perhaps most important of the Saints’ four preseason games.
