In one of those stories that would be funny if it weren't sad, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his politician mother aren't seeing eye to eye. After learning that his image had appeared in one of her television ads, Brees had his agent send a letter threatening legal action against his mother, Mina Brees, an Austin attorney who is running for a spot on Texas' 3rd Court of Appeals. In commercials running on Austin stations, Mina Brees had been using a picture of her son in the uniform of his former team, the San Diego Chargers, to emphasize her ties to football.
"I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved," Drew Brees said Monday.
Brees and his mom have been estranged since he entered the NFL and chose not to hire her as his agent. Mina Brees's campaign web site still touts her relationship with her son and includes a picture of him. She was in the news four months ago when she continued campaigning despite suffering a heart attack.
