Drew Brees FIRST Saints Game! (Saints vs. Browns 2006, Week 1) 

The saints really added Marques Colston, Drew Brees, and Reggie Bush in one offseason

Drew Brees instantly made the saints more relevant and himself a hall of fame quarterback

Also, RIP to DE Will Smith.

This was the best gift given to New Orleans after Katrina

Reminder of how hyped Reggie Bush was, tbh.

Y’all have been just sitting on the edge of your seats WAITING to post this haven’t you

Dude was quicker with this video than the NFL was announcing Drew’s retirement, impressive

This was back when Reggie Bush was expected to be the franchise player and jersey seller for the Saints and not Drew Brees.

Right after I get the notification for this game, I get a notification saying Drew Brees has retired. Drew to Canton 2026.

2006 Saints are one of the most underrated teams ever

Am I the only one who started getting annoyed by the noise the Fox scoreboard on the top kept making?! Once you heard it, you couldn’t help but hear it every time!!!

it was an honor to watch this man play football he will be missed

As An Eagles Fan, He owned our franchise for nearly a decade. It's sad that his career was wasted on a team that had a terrible defense from 2011-16 during his prime, and got an elite defense as age and injuries caught up to him. At least he got his ring. You will be missed. Carrying and creating the Saints

Brees: Retires from NFL and first Ballot HOF Winslow: Going to Jail for the Rest of his life Crazy how life shakes out

As a Browns fan, I remember this game distinctly. It was at the beginning of my senior year of HS, which turned our to be a pretty dramatic year. Anyways, that first play from scrimmage TD called back on a holding call summed up that season and most of the teams during that time period. Our record never really reflected it (except in 2007), but most of those losing years, we had SO MANY CLOSE games that we just couldn't find a way to win. Go back and look at some of the scores during this time period and up until about 2016 or so (16 and 17 were awful). This game was one of them. Our first play was a TD called back because of a hold. Our last offensive play was a quick slant pass that bounced right off Braylon Edwards hands for an INT. We lose by 5. Also, 15 years later. This is just crazy.

Ah yes! Those were the days when Fox used to have a big orange square as a “logo” for the Cleveland Browns. Good times 😂😂😂

I'm gonna miss Drew Brees! It will never be the same

Drew Brees will be one of the best QBs ever it will be wierd with out him. Today is the anniversary of the day the he signed with the saints

It's so crazy that this is brees' first game in Nola, and all they talked about was reggie bush.

My goat 🐐🏈Drew Brees. The whole reason why i started watching football and fell in love with the game 13 years ago. If it wasn't for drew who inspired me i wouldn't have turned towards something so great(football) and i would probably be in the streets or dead honestly. Not only did he set records but he help my dad's city as much as he could. Gave New Orleans hope not only in football but outside of it too. He got us to the promise land and help turn this franchise into one of the best franchise for the best part of 14 years. I will always remember his 5,000 yd seasons, great accuracy, and amazing resilience. Will always remember the great games and comebacks all throughout his career from when he one in Miami in 09, to when he dueled eli and Odell in one of the best games I've ever seen in '15 to when he clutched it out against Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins last season. Even tho he had his bad moments i never once thought he sucked cuz everyone does. Lol man i didn't even cry when my grandma died but i can't help feeling like ima cry cuz drew leaving I won't tho. Instead of miss im gonna celebrate the moments he gave to New Orleans appreciate him. Drew Brees not only save my team but he has save me and me other lives in ways most people wouldn't understand. Even tho u might never seen this i gotta say it I appreciate it Drew everything u did for the team, city, others lives and my life too. Thanks for the moments and no matter what anyone says Drew Brees will always be the GOAT to me🐐 Thanks Drew. WHODAT

Feel so bad for Charlie Frye! While he wasn’t the most talented QB he was literally running for his life every pass play

Despite being a die-hard Falcons fan, I put my fandom to the side and genuinely cheered the Saints on throughout the season. At the end of the day, the way the team galvanized NO had to be recognized. Everything else is secondary.

Congrats Brees on a tremendous NFL career!

NFL Throwback, I would love to recommend a game to be shown on this channel, and that’s the Monday Night Football- Colts vs Panthers Week 8 2015 game. The game had both Luck and Newton in their primes, it was exciting to see both young QBs. I also remember the game was decided in Overtime, and was a class prime time thriller that no one talks about. I think that with Cam resigning with New England and Olsen and Thomas Davis retiring it would make sense to show a Panthers game during that wonderful 2015 season. It could maybe be called like “Luck and Newton Duel it out in Primetime” or something of that nature. Regardless, keep up the fantastic work!!!

as a fan of the browns and the saints this puts a large smile on my face

..and so it begins Thank you Drew. Your effect on New Orleans on and especially off the field is immeasurable. Forever a Saint!

Man. Drew Bree’s first game as a Saint, and Reggie Bush’s first NFL game. Definitely a nice throwback to look back on.

Have you posted the Saints first home game in the Superdome since Katrina against Atlanta? I'd love to see that

First year of those new Fox graphics

This was his his first game wow. Time flies

A true Saint on and off the field, going to miss seeing Brees play.

Drew will always be more than just a football player

The day my choking Falcons knew we were in for a heated rivalry for the ages that would feel like it would never end. Thanks for breaking my heart at times and thanks for being one of the best QB’s ever. I will and will not miss you Drew! Happy retirement.

Deuce Mcallister was a BEAST back in the day.

So weird how back in this time 2006 you couldn’t hear the quarterbacks cadence just yet with the on field mics

Thank you for the wonderful memories, Drew. And thank you for being a Saint.

I'm going to miss the pocket passer era. The duel threat QBs are starting to take over the league

Drew Brees was a one of a kind quarterback. He took a butt whipping from my Vikings and gave a butt whipping to my Vikings. What an amazing career.

It's so interesting to see how much the game has changed over the years in terms of strategy, you would never see so many plays under Center in todays NFL. Really impressive that Drew was always able to adapt to the different play styles over the years, I would always think of him as a modern QB even in his older years. That's one of the many reasons why he became a Lock for the HOF!

Geez. This feels like a life time ago.

I remember this game. All those yesterdays. Thanks Drew!

Y’all had this pre prepared no way y’all made this in less than 5 minutes lmao

Drew said New Orleans needed him and he needed New Orleans. Match made in heaven.

Drew Brees' 2006 season is one of those really good forgotten years that no one talks about. Took over a sorry team that went 3-13 the year prior and immediately turns them around, helping them finish with a 10-6 record and an NFC South division title. Made it all the way to the NFC Championship game where the magic ultimately ran out against Chicago, but still a very impressive year nonetheless. Ironically enough, those Bears played Peyton Manning's Colts in the Super Bowl in Miami, something Drew Brees would go onto to do 3 seasons later. Only difference was that Brees came out on top unlike Chicago. One helluva career for the man. Damn shame it ended on such a sour note though. Wishing him all the best in retirement. Next up, Canton, OH.

That Brees interception at 3:20 is unreal. You would never see him throw that ball in him prime

NFL Throwback, Can you please show the game of the Giants and Panthers in 2015? The one where Odell and Norman got into it.

Drew Brees thank you for all the moments that we will never forget as a Niners fan this was the greatest moments is we all have in the past 15 years

One of the best the nfl ever had sad to see him go 💛🖤

0:46 I like how they didn’t show the Browns helmet logo, and it’s just an orange rectangle.

It’s funny how they acted like every time Reggie Bush touched the ball it was gonna be a TD

Don't forget to upload the game where he returned and faced against the Chargers

You will be missed legend..

I was at this game. When Edwards caught that wide open TD (that was called back) on the first play from scrimmage, the whole stadium was chanting “Super Bowl”. Life of a Browns fan, albeit not so much anymore 😉

god I remember Drew’s first game with the chargers which makes feel very old.

Thanks for bringing a championship to New Orleans you gonna be missed ❤️

Might be rivals but thank you for everything you’ve done in the NFL Drew Brees. Absolute icon and a legend

LEGEND🖤 Thank you Drew

What a career drew thank you for everything hope you find much success in your second life 👏🏾

Brees will be missed 🙏🙌👏

Where it all began and Drew Brees was the heart and soul for New Orleans and thank you for all the memories he has gifted us both on and off the field your my all time favorite player and I’m gonna miss you who dat nation

NOLA will never be the same...

I’ll never forget this game. Marques colston coming out party. I was sold on Drew as a great after this one. Rest In Peace William Smith. Reggie bush was that dude.

I remember this game. I was just a freshman in high school ('06-'07 year). Not a Saints fan, but Drew Brees was one of my other favorite NFL QB's besides Tom Brady. Tom Brady will always be my top favorite QB, but Drew Brees was one of my favorite QB's. Congratulations on your career Drew Brees. Thank You Drew.

Great video!

*and a legend was born*

Drew Brees is a legend

This season saved the Saints

This meant so much to me getting to see this game again. It’s always appreciated anytime you guys post a Saints game from 06-09 because my dad and I went to most of those games. It’s great to reminisce.

I forgot COVID didn't exist then. Im looking at the crowd asking "where is their masks & why are they so close?" Quarantine Life.....🤦 Congrats Drew Brees! You left a great legacy! 🎊💯🎉

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING DREW

Drew bress had a great carcer and won a super bowl with the saints and he had a great career and now retire strong

First NFL game I ever attended

Oh yeah I definitely remember this one and this was also Reggie Bush's debut and then you got the great Ron Pitts commentating keep uploading more of his games we love it!

If possible, I’d love to see 49ers vs. Cardinals from Week 5 of 2004 sometime this off-season. It featured a wild comeback by the 49ers and Fitz’s first NFL TD

This play list is a blessing, thank you. Boutta watch every game of the goats first season with my saints 😄

Drew Brees such a Great QB

Amazing Memories of drew Brees to play at Saint

Congrats Drew! See you in Canton from a Giants fan

AWESOME MAN!👍🤙✌💯 GREAT JOB!💯👍

Congrats on a great career drew

Thank you, Drew!

He will be miss it was great watching him play without a doubt a icon definitely op in madden game over the years 🔥💯🐐

what a historic career by Drew Brees

I’m gonna miss Drew 😢

The saints defense was BIG time during their beginning to relevance in NOLA

Awesome to see it condensed I have pretty much as a Saints fan all the games once they started putting them on iTunes and then they would have DVDs of the best of every season which would be three games sometimes four so I have this one I recorded too as well a lot of them on VHS until that ended when finally I got rid of it love to see the legend that is Drew Brees start his Ascension to an elite quarterback

The sound before the snap is ridiculous

Early 2000s easily one of the best decades

Thank You Drew!

That league back in the day had a lot of badass players i was 14 just beginning high school at the time

When Drew took the last nap of this game and took a knee, you could tell quickly thanked God. I could only imagine how this franchise was worried about their gamble for the 06 season.

Drew Brees will be one of the best QBs in the history of the NFL , and yes it will be very weird without him if he decides to call it quits and retire which i can definitely see happening

I remember this. We thought it would just be another losing season with players and coaches that didn't work. It was going on for decades before Brees/Payton. It's probably why today everyone wants Sean back. Payton managed to get Jameis Winston throwing bombs and missiles before leaving. His team finished 9-8 with Trevor Siemian throwing to a no name practice squad offense. At this point in time, we didn't expect anything good to happen. We were used to losing, but still loved our team regardless.

What a fucking career man.

I will really miss this guy.

I'll miss him😔

I’ll miss you Drew

What a time for this to be uploaded

Press f to pay respect

I was at this game in Cleveland a friend of mine took me. My second football game ever. I had binoculars taped to my face. I seen the next one in Cleveland also.
