re: Has anyone met Drew Brees?

Met him at the opening of the Gleason House. Was as nice as everyone always says. Was incredibly patient while the bankers asked questions that indicated a complete lack of football knowledge, including one about his birthmark. 
But in their defense, they gave a shite-ton of money to Gleason House.
He signed a bunch of stuff for my aunt for her ALS fundraiser. I quietly slipped him a wiseass comment about Goddell that clearly surprised him in the room of people we were in, he laughed and signed something for my buddy's kid. Nice guy.
Gleason and his family were as inspiring as you would think.

Prior to the season in 2006 i was at a fundraiser in conjunction with the reopening of Saks at Canal Place. Drew and Brittney were there. Literally no one talked to them other than Archie and Olivia Manning - i imagine most of the people did not know who they were at that time. Most of the time they were just standing around alone. They were standing only a few feet from our group and i thought about going over to talk to them, but i did not take the initiative. After the season started and he was kicking arse i regretted it. We could have been bros!

Yes, he is a super nice, genuine guy. I ran into him at Whole Foods but didn't want to bother him so I didnt say anything. Then he came up next to me in line so I had no choice

I think athletes are nicer then actors and musicians

This probably doesn't count, but I cover the Saints for the Lafayette newspaper so I've met just about all the players, including Brees, who I am proud to say I am taller than.

So, who is cool and who is not?

I've met him at his wife's hair salon as it is my wife's as well. We were both there waiting to pick the girls up. He's a genuine good guy. Very humble .

He's about 6'1"

Met Drew and Brittany a few years ago informally. Actually had one of their cell numbers because we had to make arrangements regarding some tickets. I've been around Brittany more than Drew, but they both seem very nice to me.

I've always heard Greer was a nice guy by the few people I know that met him
I've seen and met Greer a few times actually once he even came into CC's coffee while I was in line like a normal dude it was kind of funny because no one even paid him any attention because I don't think anyone knew who he was...friggin hipsters
the times I talked to him he likes being in New Orleans and he is in a great mood each time I've seen or talked to him

Lol. Patrick Robinson works out at my gym and nobody recognizes him. I wished him good luck this season and he seemed genuinely surprised I knew who he was.
Also, I sold Will Smith his PS3. I remember him being pretty cool for the most part, Charles Grant on the other hand was a complete tool when he came into my Best Buy.

Met a few guys when they came down to the West Palm area for a Heath Evans charity once.
Talked to Evans, David Thomas, Hartley, Chris Ivory, Harper, and Pierre. They were all really nice people, Saints must do a great job of getting high character guys. David Thomas was the best because I was with my little sister and he talked to her for like 5 minutes.
