The San Diego Chargers probably regret giving up on Drew Brees after just five seasons with the success he's had in New Orleans. Which is not to be taken as a slight to Philip Rivers, both are quality quarterbacks, but as of right now Drew Brees is the clear bred-winner out of the two. Drew Brees attended Purdue University from 1997 to 2000 where he broke nineteen school records including touchdown passes (90), passing yards (11,792), total offensive yards (12,693), and more. Despite his success at Purdue, Brees finished third in Heisman Trophy voting his senior year.
In the 2001 NFL Draft, Drew Brees was selected 32nd overall in the second round by the San Diego Chargers. While Brees was able to lead the Chargers to the postseason one time in 2004, but after contract disputes with the Chargers, Brees took his talents to New Orleans where he has led the Saints to seven playoff berths. The 12x Pro Bowl nominee also led the Saints to their first Super Bowl (XLIV) victory in 2009 where he was also named the Super Bowl MVP. In 2006, Brees signed a five-year contract with the New Orleans Saints and a five-year extension with the team in 2012 worth $100 million. Brees' latest contract extension with the team was in 2018, for $50 million for two years of service.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
