Brees, fam featured in new ad

by Walter Pierce

Look out, Garrett Hartley. Baylen Brees is gunning for you.

Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his family - wife Brittany and sons Baylen and Bowen - are featured in a clever new television commercial advertising a new financial service from Chase.

The commercial includes a cameo by actor Lance E. Nichols (the man barbecuing on his deck in the ad), who plays the character Larry Williams in the critically acclaimed, New Orleans-set HBO series Treme. Not coincidentally, when Brees sends Nichols' character money to cover the damage from Baylen's epic kick, he texts the notice to "Larry." Nice touch, Wall Street fat cats.
