DETROIT HOLDS FIRST PICK IN 2009 DRAFT; NEW ORLEANS WITH 14th OVERALL SELECTION The Detroit Lions will make the first choice of the 2009 National Football League Draft on April 25-26. The New Orleans Saints, who finished the 2008 season with an 8-8 record, own the 14th selection overall.Draft-order ties are resolved by the cumulative record of each team’s opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority.Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl champion will select 32nd and the runner-up 31st.Clubs involved in two-club ties will alternate positions from round-to-round. In ties that involve three or more clubs, the club at the top of a tied segment in a given round will move to the bottom of the segment for the next round, while all other clubs in the segment move up one position. This rotation continues throughout the draft.

Why Brees have done the book “Coming Back Stronger” ? He said he writed a memoir that could help readers find ways to turn adversity into opportunities to improve themselves and their lives.Certainly the New Orleans Saints quarterback,Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees has experience with that.
In the book “Coming Back Stronger” which Brees writed,”I ask myself the question often: Could I have saved her?”the adversity question that Brees asked.Brees often asks himeself if there’s anything he could have done to prevent his mother from committing suicide.
Brees admit that he sitting at his laptop computer in his kitchen writing about his mother’s death could serve as therapy for him and advice for others during many late nights.
“I wanted to address it in a way that was very sensitive to my family, but also very truthful, hoping that if somebody else has gone through that, or not gotten over it, or is not sure how to handle a situation like that,”Brees said.I felt like it was very appropriate because I feel like so many people deal with that, be it the relationship with a parent or death of a loved one, whatever it might be.”
He realise that if it wasn’t for so many experiences in his life and lessons learned through adversity then he certainly wouldn’t be where I am now or have the opportunities that I had to get me to this point.
He is always going to find the positive out of the negative and I’m going to come back stronger,no matter what,it was very much a mentality of,as the New Orleans Saints has taken that philosophy.
So,there’s a quote come my mind “trees get stronger and rooted after suffering storm.
