Brees reveals text of pre-game chant

It's well known that Saints quarterback Drew Brees came up with
the pre-game chant that he used throughout the 2009 season after visiting Marines at Guantanamo Bay in the offseason.
Brees previously had not revealed the specific text of the back-and-forth with his teammates. As part of his post-Super Bowl celebration, however, Brees shared the secrets with the crowd assembled at a bar.
TMZ.com has the video. For those of you who refuse to ever go there, here's what Brees and the rest of the team were saying.
Brees: "One."
Team: "Two."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "For you."
Brees: "Three."
Team: "Four."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "Some more."
Brees: "Five."
Team: "Six."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "For kicks."
Brees: "Seven."
Team: "Eight."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "It's great."
Brees: "Nine."
Team: "Ten."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "Again."
Brees: "Win."
Team: "Again."
And they continue with Brees yelling "win" and the team shouting "again" until it melts into a general mass of whooping and yelling.
So, basically, safety Darren Sharper was in the right church but the wrong pew
when he tried to decipher the thing for ESPN's Stuart Scott in November.
For 2009, Brees came up with a replacement for an even better (in our view)
2008 pre-game routine. The challenge for 2010 will be to devise yet another unique and stirring way to get the troops ready for action.
