Drew Brees’ Mom: In a story that could only be described as bizarre, the mother of Saints QB Drew Breese fired off a letter to a bunch of Houston restaurant owners, essentially telling them that their name had ‘expired’ (a 10-year law in Texas), and if they wanted to get it back, they’d have to cough up 20k or 25k. “It looks like a weak attempt to do something like cyber squatting, but the law in Texas is such that — with trade names and trademarks — first use usually prevails,” [a lawyer for the restaurants said.] “Why they would send a letter like that … doesn’t make any sense unless they were trying to take advantage of a restaurateur who does not know the law.” Make sure you read to the end to hear why Brees and her son aren’t close.
