02/11/2010

Quarterback and MVP Drew Brees or Breesus, as he’s known in New Orleans, is an icon to the team and to the city. He has been a firm believer ever since he came to the team just after Katrina that the city and the team can come back from anything.

As I walked into the Equestrian Center in Alfred where the event was held, I felt a flashback into old western times. I could hear the music playing, and through the windows, I could see a group of people showing off their best line dancing moves.
