Sir Brees in WestLaf on Friday

As you may already know, Drew Brees will be in Lafayette and West Lafayette, IN this Friday to promote his new book, Coming Back Stronger. And the tentacles of Boiled Sports will be there -- what, you expected something less?

We're fortunate to have a deputy, Margaret, who is going to be on site and reporting for us. You can find her updates on Twitter @mamargie and she'll also be filing a report for us which we will post here.

In other Drew Brees book-related news, we're in the process of getting our grubby hands on a few copies of his book, which we'll be giving away to you, our loyal and loving readers. We just need to figure out what kind of contest to run....

FWIW, former Indy Star sportswriter Mark Monteith took out an advert years ago in Gold & Black Illustrated offering remaining (signed) copies of his Keady-era book "Passion Play" (basically a Purdue answer to Feinstein's "A Season on the Brink"-- he had all access to the team and coaches)-- at a ri-donkulous price. At the time he said he had a pallet of these books in his garage. Maybe he still does, I dunno-- these wouldn't be bad spiffs, providing the intended is interested in late-80's Keady hoops.

Still, even though I muddled through through the Fred Akers era/experiment of Purdue football, I'd take the Brees book.
