New Orleans Saints 01/09/2007 8:36 AMThe Times-Picayune reports Saints QB Drew Brees finally received at least one memorable postseason accolade Monday when he was selected to The Associated Press' All-Pro team, edging New Orleans native and Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning by one vote. Brees is joined as a first-team All-Pro selection by left OT Jammal Brown. FB Mike Karney was selected to the second team. Brees and Brown will represent the Saints and the NFC as starters in the Pro Bowl on Feb. 10 in Honolulu. Brees received 25 of the possible 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sports media.

Michael Bidwill and Graves spent the weekend interviewing Chargers offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in San Diego and Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell in Indianapolis. Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow is interviewing today in Tempe, and Pittsburgh assistant head coach Russ Grimm is scheduled for Tuesday.Read more
