In a hilarious video released by the Saints, Manning is seen making a salad when he's informed that Brees broke his mark of 71,940 passing yards. Brees now has 499. And thanks to you, that's over now. Cheers to you, Drew. "I don't have time to keep doing these videos for you, congratulating you".

He had a breakout campaign in 2004, but by then the Chargers had drafted Philip Rivers with the fourth overall pick, and in the final game of the 2005 season, Brees suffered a major shoulder injury.
