font-size: 12pt;\">So in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vHaxekut2ww\">this Chase Bank commercial<\/a>, Drew Brees&#8217;s son kicks a football in the yard; but because he&#8217;s the son of\u00a0<em>Breesus<\/em>, it&#8217;s implied that he has some genetic football talent passed down onto him despite the fact that his dad is a quarterback and not a Gramatica.\u00a0 That being said, the ball goes sailing at a high velocity, to such a magnitude it breaks through several houses walls and windows, much to the chagrin of Drew Brees himself.\u00a0 Bewildered neighbors stare at the carnage caused by the lead food of Brees Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But no problem, because Drew Brees is an NFL quarterback, Drew Brees is rich as shit.\u00a0 And thanks to his handy new Chase banking app, he&#8217;s able to parlay chunks of his shit-rich to his various neighbors whose homes have incurred damage at the leg of Junior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;d like to point out the part where Drew Brees wires $200 to one of his neighbors for a broken window.\u00a0 Because I am currently dealing with a similar situation currently, however I cannot say that a young place-kicking prodigy kicked a football through my window.\u00a0 No, it was just a freak accident involving my landscaper, a mower, and an errant stone in my yard that went sailing into my glass, shattering it.\u00a0 It is not a big deal at all, considering it technically happened last year, and I&#8217;ve just been too lazy to deal with it until more recently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Basically, this is where I ask my six readers, if they even remotely know where to begin looking for someone to repair this?\u00a0 A cursory Googling of &#8220;window repair&#8221; typically leads to like 60% of results being auto glass repair, and not residential.\u00a0 And then the remaining 40% of results turns out to be people who wish to replace\u00a0<em>entire\u00a0<\/em>windows, and not anything remotely close to simply replacing a broken pane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Long story short, I got estimates for window replacement, which turned out to be well past the $1,000 mark, much to my dismay.\u00a0 Trying to get a second opinion from a business not The Home Depot, I received some good news in the form that a new window isn&#8217;t what I need, but a\u00a0<strong>re-glazing\u00a0<\/strong>of my pane; which would be considerably less than replacing the entire window outright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">But then I learned that it&#8217;s also pretty impossible to find anyone who does window reglazing, much less willing to come out to where I live.\u00a0 Ultimately, I found a guy that I&#8217;m really quite optimistic just might work, but I also had to cold-call at least four other businesses that have scheduled appointments, no-showed appointments, and absolutely failed to deliver anything at all.\u00a0 Leaving me quite frustrated and dejected that I&#8217;m practically begging people to come take money from me, and nobody wants to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The point is, in the commercial, Drew Brees wires a neighbor $200, and it&#8217;s assumed that everything&#8217;s good and square.\u00a0 That is bullshit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">I&#8217;m probably going to spend ~$200, sure, but that&#8217;s also several days of where I&#8217;ve had to take time off work only to get no-showed, the anxious time of waiting for people to show up to my house, take measurements, and hope they&#8217;ll actually come back, and\/or not bend me over and financially stick it to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">In the end, Drew Brees is a cheap motherfucker who only covered the cost of the materials for his son&#8217;s badly booted squib kick.\u00a0 What the commercial doesn&#8217;t show is the two weeks of his attractive cougar-y neighbor ripping her hair out when she can&#8217;t find someone instantaneously to come fix her window, and when she does, she&#8217;s cursing Drew Brees for barely covering the cost of the damage and not the labor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And the next time she watches football with her family, she&#8217;s secretly hoping Ndamukong Suh crushes and murders Drew Brees.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So in\u00a0this Chase Bank commercial, Drew Brees&#8217;s son kicks a football in the yard;
