Payton’s book debuts among top ten bestsellers

Your move, Drew Brees.

The Saints quarterback and his coach Sean Payton wagered dinner and a bottle of wine on who would sell more books. Payton got a one-week head start and debuted at No. 8 on the New York Times’ bestseller list for Hardcover non-fiction.

(That’s five spots behind Michael Lewis’ The Big Short, an incredible book which I finished last night before a catching a few bass Sunday that could kick Florio’s bass.)

Brees congratulated his coach on the sales, but early signs are promising that he can win the bet. Brees’ book ranks high on Amazon’s bestsellers, and his book inspired an enthusiastic response in New Orleans, to put it mildly.

When was the last book signing where fans arrived the night before and tailgated for a 9AM start?
