The NFL has not been the same without former Saints quarterback Drew Brees in a black-and-gold uniform. Following Brees's retirement from the NFL in March, he joined the NBC Sports' broadcasting crew.
With Brees calling the Saints-Bills game on Thanksgiving night, the NBC broadcast team chose to honor him on the field at halftime. However, during his recognition, a familiar face—Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady—had a funny message for the longtime New Orleans quarterback on the big screen inside Caesars Superdome.
“Thank you for retiring Drew, don’t ever come back," Brady said.
Brees, who played 20 NFL seasons while spending 15 in New Orleans, retired as the NFL's all-time leading passer with 80,358 yards before Brady conquered his record.
