Best Week Ever: NBA vs. Drew Brees





Sorry about last week folks, I had some technical difficulties (by "technical difficulties," I mean that my ghostwriter dropped the ball, and I was forced to fire her), but no worries, I am back and better than ever. In my continuing quest to stay hip and fresh, I will take a page out of VH1's playbook and decide who had the best week ever: the NBA or Drew Brees.


On Sunday the NBA hosted its 59th All-Star Game at Jerry's World (or, if you prefer, Cowboy Stadium) in Arlington, TX. The game was extremely competitive, with the East pulling out a 141-139 victory over the West. While in past years the game took a backseat to the festivities that take place during the weekend, the game was...how can I put this...actually good! There was not a lot of the sloppy play that has plagued this game in the past, and there were many highlights. The NBA gets extra points for actually showing women during their halftime show. Shakira straddled a cage..um, I mean performed first. The NBA is truly the place where "amazing happens" because they allowed Shakira to perform, and if a walrobe malfunction were to occur, it would be during a Shakira performance (what is the over/under on that?). Shakira performing would have been enough, but then the NBA pulled out their trump card: Alicia Keys. Her beauty and elegance is only matched by her musical talent. Oh, and Usher performed, too. A great game, good performances and no shootouts...all in all, a pretty good weekend for the NBA, but they will be deducted points because of a surprisingly uneventful All Star Saturday night that saw Nate Robinson(aka Gary Coleman-lite) win his third Slam-Dunk contest.

So that means that the winner of
(granted during the introductions). This Is True's first (and last) best week ever competition is (drum roll....envelope....can't open it....what!...it's in braille?...I need a blind person....okay, got a blind person...okay, the winner please) Drew Brees! Did anyone really think that the Superbowl was the end of the football season? Well, the season is just heating up. Drew Brees has been everywhere, no seriously. He was on Ellen, Oprah (sorry, this was the best clip I could get. Oprah refused to meet with my people), Letterman and of course that horrible Disney commercial (which is a time honored tradition for every Superbowl MVP...well, except this guy). Next Drew Brees will be given the Noble Peace Prize, but there will be no uproar unlike the time this guy won it. Then Brees will be knighted, christened as a saint and get his own book in the Bible. Yup, that is one hell of a week. So Drew Brees, if you are reading (I could always use your support), you are truly Dontelicious!
