Geez, Everyone In The NFL Has A Book These Days, Including Drew Brees – 40 Points

It is my sincere hope that every new offseason in the NFL moving forward will feature the release of a book by multiple players and coaches who had good-to-great seasons the previous year. Because that won’t remotely get old… ever.

Look… Drew’s new book may be the best thing ever put to paper.  But you can’t tell me that Brees, Payton, and Rex Ryan’s books are all three absolutely necessary to the cultural landscape.  Did Chris Johnson write a book about breaking the combined yards record?  No, no he did not.  Is the newest fad in the NFL to write a book about yourself after one good season?  Shoot, Rex Ryan only has one season as a coach under his large belt.

In an age where the media seems finally ready to rip on diva behavior in athletes–I’m specifically thinking of Lebron’s self-aggrandizing hour-long special–I think we need at least one person to stand up and say “writing books after one season of decent work is probably just as selfish as Lebron’s Decision.”  And I will be that person.

40 points for Drew Brees’ owners.
