New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees has a dilemma: his contract forbids him to ride motorcycles. Ah, but Drew has found a loophole and this is where the fun begins in the hilarious new viral ad for Can-AM by the Escape Pod and directed by Shane Valdes.
The Super Bowl XLIV MVP bursts through an oversized version of his contract, which firmly states 'Drew Brees Cannot Ride Motorcycles.'. Drew reveals he's found a loophole and places a quick call to his agent to break the news: he's retiring so that he can head out for some three-wheeling adventure. While his agent experiences a complete meltdown at the loss of his star client, in true action-movie fashion, a helicopter lowers a crate containing a Can-Am Spyder. Drew exchanges his football helmet and pads for biker leathers and a motorcycle helmet and, in a plume of smoke and a billow of flying doves, he heads out for a ride on his sleek new Spyder. Set to a driving dubstep track, Drew tours the bayous, backwaters and Bourbon Street, all while his agent still sobs at the shock of Drew's sudden retirement.
After a day of riding, Drew and his Spyder cruise back to the stadium. He calls his still-weeping agent to let him know that he's ready to head back to work... For now. The end tag invites viewers to enter a drawing to "Win the Can-Am Spyder That Drew Brees is Contractually Forbidden from Riding.".
