Sports & Forks with Kelly Senyei Kelly Senyei

In this inaugural episode of Sports & Forks, host Kelly Senyei sits down with legendary NFL quarterback Drew Brees to explore the fascinating intersection of sports, food and entrepreneurship. Drew Brees, esteemed for his illustrious career as the former quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, takes us through his compelling journey beyond the gridiron and into the world of business, particularly his foray into the spirits industry post-retirement.
Kelly and Drew kick off the conversation with a trip down memory lane to their college football experiences and the connections they've made to Wisconsin. The dialogue soon shifts to the deliciously complex world of coffee liqueurs—a particular point of intrigue for Brees—where they revel in the aromas and flavors of these spirits. They discuss Drew’s favorite brand, State Line Coffee Liqueur, and its recognition in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
They also discuss Brees’ dietary restrictions playing a significant role in his NFL career, and he openly discusses his experience managing these restrictions and how he's reintroduced certain foods post-retirement, from gluten to dairy to nuts.
