Competitors that they are, Drew Brees and Sean Payton waged a bet shortly after each decided to write a book this offseason.
Dinner and a bottle of wine are on the line for whoever sells the most books.
Payton got the jump on Brees by a week or so. His book, "Home Team, " debuted at No. 8 on the New York Times' best-seller list for hardcover nonfiction titles.
Not to be outdone, Brees' literary debut, "Coming Back Stronger," came a week later and immediately shot into the top 10. No. 9's first book will debut at No. 3 on the Times' best-seller list this week.
It'll be interesting to see which one finishes strong and ultimately collects on the bet. After all, book sales are something of a timeless process.
While both tomes fall under the Super Bowl championship book genre, they are quite different in content.
