School loyalties run deeper than blood for Drew Brees' oldest son.
While on Monday's "Dan Patrick Show," the New Orleans Saints quarterback said his son, 6-year-old Baylen, was rooting for the New York Giants' duo of Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. because he attends Isidore Newman School - the same school the pair attended while they were growing up in New Orleans.
"Here was the problem with yesterday's game. My sons go to Newman School, which is where Eli Manning and Odell Beckham went to high school," explained Brees. "So my oldest one decided that he was gonna cheer for Odell Beckham and Eli Manning during the game. And Eli goes and throws six touchdowns and Odell scores three.
"But I said 'Buddy, you're lucky we won that game.'"
Brees led his team to a 52-49 victory, and tied the NFL record for single-game touchdown passes with seven.
"Now he wants an Odell Beckham jersey, so we're having to contemplate this decision," continued Brees.
