Of all the images Sports Illustrated could have chosen for its post-Super Bowl issue, they chose
this one.Way to go Sports Illustrated!
As was noted on this blog last week, the scene of Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees holding his son, Baylen, on the field after the game was a priceless fatherhood moment - one for the ages. And now it has been "immortalized" on the cover of the nation's premier sports magazine.
Think of the joy this image will bring Brees' son as he grows up! Every child wants to know he is loved and valued by his father. Baylen Brees will have this indelible image to look back to as a reminder of the affirmation he received from his father during what was certainly a lifetime highlight for dad.
Chalk this one up as a victory for involved, responsible, and committed fatherhood.
