Drew Brees has another record on his accomplishments list.

When it comes to quarterback play, it’s very difficult to compare the star passers of the 50’s and 60’s to the star passers of today.  The NFL these days is a much more wide-open league, with faster, bigger players and an emphasis on the pass not seen since the glory days of the West Coast Offense.  Still, there’s one measure that counts:  consistency.  Drew Brees has individual season passing records, team point scoring records, and now, he’s officially the most consistently excellent quarterback in history.  During last night’s comeback win versus the San Diego Chargers, Drew Brees broke Johnny Unitas’s consecutive games with a touchdown pass record.

Johnny U threw for touchdowns in 47 straight games, which was unheard of at the time and remained one of the few passing records quarterbacks couldn’t challenge until Brees came along.  Good day or bad, Brees is good for at least one touchdown, and it’s a streak that shows no signs of breaking any time soon.  Take, for example, last night.  The Saints were awful, but Brees still threw touchdown passes to Devery Henderson (who caught the record-breaker) and Marques Colston (his franchise record 52nd touchdown catch as a Saint).  Eventually, he had his team back in the game and when the final horn sounded, the Saints had bested the Chargers.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
