A few other tidbits. Mrs. Brees had a falling out with her famous son when she decided to run for office a few years ago - as a Republican - by using Drew Brees' name in campaign literature as a tacit endorsement. Drew Brees made her stop. Her brother, Marty Akins, besides being a former UT quarterback, once ran for statewide office (forget which office) as a Democrat but lost in the primaries.
