The latest NFC Championship Game isn't going to fade from the memory of New Orleans Saints fans or their players, including Drew Brees, anytime soon. The Saints appeared on their way to another Super Bowl, but a non-call on what was clearly pass interference denied them the opportunity.
The Saints and their fans were outraged, rightfully so, for a very long time. Sean Payton and owner Gayle Benson ended up banging the table for replay changes at the owners meetings, and they got their wish. In direct response to the controversy, the league made pass interference reviewable for the upcoming 2019 season.
While the league made the rule changes they deemed necessary, it's still not going to put the incident to rest for the Saints. It'll be a subject of discussion for the Saints for a long time, if Drew Brees' latest commercial is any indication. Brees appeared in a commercial for UNTUCKit clothing, and referenced the infamous game, per Josh Katzenstein of NOLA.com.
“Brees, an investor and brand ambassador for UNTUCKit, is in a new advertisement for the clothing company. At the end of the 30-second spot, which debuted Tuesday, Brees walks by a man wearing an UNTUCKit shirt and says, “At least somebody made the right call,” Katzenstein writes.
It's a pretty funny joke, and it's nice to see Brees isn't taking the whole thing too seriously and is able to poke some fun at it. Brees is 40 now, and had a clear shot at another Super Bowl to define his legacy. He'll be looking to run it back and repeat the magic next season, and he'll have some nice new additions like tight end Jared Cook to help him get there.
