NFL legend Drew Brees reveals the shocking reason he passed on Nick Saban and the Dolphins

In a recent sit-down with ESPN, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is finally breaking her silence on the media's "false characterization" of her and the non-stop off-the-court drama in the WNBA.

NFL legend Drew Brees appeared on the "New Heights" podcast and broke down the crazy story of his 2006 free agency. It turns out a failed medical evaluation and an upside-down Chevy truck in a living room changed football history forever.

Back in 2006, coming off a severe shoulder injury in San Diego, the Miami Dolphins looked like a done deal.

"On paper, it was Miami all the way. Miami had Nick Saban. They had just come off a 9-7 season. Defense was lights out. They were running the same offense we were running."

Former Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga rolled out the red carpet to lure Brees to Miami.

"I’m sitting there eating dinner on Wayne Huizenga’s yacht. He’s talking about playing golf in Scotland every summer. No state income tax. I’m like, 'Dude, this is wallpaper. Miami, here I come.'"

Then the Dolphins' medical staff changed everything.
