Drew Brees to Mom: Stop trading on my name

What's your problem, Mom? Gosh! [/Napoleon Dynamite]

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees is upset with his mom, an Austin Democrat running to be a judge, for using his name:

The NFL quarterback and Westlake High School graduate has told Mina Brees, an Austin attorney, to stop using his picture in TV commercials as she runs for a spot on Texas' 3rd Court of Appeals, saying their relationship is now "nonexistent" after souring six years ago.

"I think the major point here is that my mother is using me in a campaign, and I've made it known many times I don't want to be involved," he said Monday.

The New Orleans Saints player said he is speaking out now because she did not acknowledge previous requests to keep him out of the campaign.

It's actually a pretty sad story.
