Mina Brees, the mother of Saints quarterback Drew, is running for a spot on Texas's 3rd Court of Appeals. And she's using pictures of her son in her ads. Or was, anyway.

Brees has asked his mother to stop using his picture in TV commercials touting her candidacy for a Texas appeals court… [He] said he got no response from his mother when he first heard about the ads and called her to ask that she stop using them. His agent sent her a letter Oct. 20 threatening legal action, he said. He called his relationship with his mother "nonexistent" after it crumbled six years ago when he refused to hire her as his agent.

Wow, talk about issues. This makes me glad that I've got a such a close relationship with my mother. Of course, I was breast-fed until I was eight.

One of my girlfriends called me a "momma's boy," but she was obviously just jealous. Thats why I buried her in a cornfield in central Illinois one night.
