Drew Brees has addressed the punishments handed down in the NFL's "bounty" investigation for the first time. The quarterback expressed support for coach Sean Payton and admitted that it hurt him to see the team's reputation damaged. "The entire team loves our coach. We'd do anything for him and certainly are with him during this time," Brees said. "Just understanding how difficult it is and we're all trying to get through it. We're hoping for the best." "It's really tough, because we're all a family," he added. "To have some of the things said about us as a team and our coach and our accomplishment, those things hurt. It's been tough for all of us.
