“In a conversation tonight with Drew Brees, the Saints quarterback said that doctors have been encouraged by his progress — specifically improvement in lung function and the continued dissipation of the pneumothorax suffered last week. They’ve also discovered 6 more rib fractures.”

Leading two TD drives with 11 broken ribs and a collapsed lung might be one of the greatest accomplishment of his life. Incredible

Not to be nit picky, but I don't think

necessarily equates to

11 broken ribs


Could have been additional fractures on some of the same ribs.

Still, Brees is a tough mofo to stay in the game after sustaining those.

So with 46% of his ribs broken and a punctured lung he still played almost 9 minutes to end the second half with a scoring drive.

I thought the Saints fired all their shitty doctors.

It only took two weeks to find all of his broken ribs.

Good thing he didn’t use most of his body when sacked, huh?
