I like the fact that he can make fun of himself.

I think its dumb...but whatever.

I'm sure the kid was happy to get on the field against that team...the team that gave up on him. So let him eat his "W". I bet he slept well last night. Good for him!

That was what I took from it too. I never really cared for his character much, but the guy is a good sport if he can poke fun at his past antics like that.

I posted in the game day thread that I hoped he was busting his own balls and not serious about it. Lol

That’s the smallest I’ve ever seen him. I think he’s ready.

Speakng of Ready. Remember the HOF RB Divine Ozigbo the Saints cut last year. 9 rushes for 27 yds 3.0 Avg.

Ozigbo's absence comes as no surprise considering he hasn't been able to practice since promptly re-injuring the same hamstring that forced him to miss the season's first six games. Considering he seems to have returned too early from his original injury, Ozigbo will likely take extra precautions to make sure his hamstring fully heals this time before he sees the field again

It’s becoming obvious that all those interceptions are just as much on Bruce as they are on his Qb’s. I only heard the tail end of it but I heard a stat that Qb’s under him have thrown more interceptions than any other coach in the league.
Gives me hope for Winston.

I thought he was a bolemic wannabe.

it was stupid then and dumb... but lets face it if you are that way then you might as well own it. He is trying to make it a thing now.

At this point it is what it is, he's a Saint and the team has embraced him and there's no looking back now. From what I see, If his number is called he looks ready to step in.

Drew can't stop licking his fingers either. Maybe it's contagious....:wink:

He stopped doing that. I actually heard that he had to break himself off the habit because of Covid. He said it was hard to stop.

I'll take your word on that my friend. I do remember when we played the Buc's the first time this season there was a count of how often he licked his fingers and the timing of when he licked his fingers on his throwing hand. It was the first game and he had been working on it during the off season, yet it was still automatic. I guess I just hadn't noticed it since then. Thanks for the info. Brittany probably feels a lot better kissing him after a game now.

I think it's funny now, especially after a big victory, but it was definitely an odd thing to do in a pre-game speech. I like that he can make fun of himself. That's a rare quality, cause most people are too uptight and trying to be perfect.

Actually, he was planning on stopping, but continued to lick them. Here's Amie Just on a question about it a few weeks back.

I thought Drew Brees was going to stop licking his fingers?

A: So, he started training camp without issue, but then I noticed on one day in particular, he was back to his old finger lickin' ways. On like the ninth day of practice (or something close to that) I counted that he licked his fingers six times when I was paying attention to him.

I went back and watched the first drive of the Raiders' game and Brees — while he was on camera — licked his fingers 12 times. In the first drive. Here are my notes:

As he's walking onto the field before the first play
As he's breaking the huddle before the first play
Before he takes the first snap
Before he takes the second snap
After the incompletion to Jared Cook
As he's breaking the huddle for the fourth play
Before he takes the fourth snap
Before the snap at 12:40
Before the snap at 12:15
After breaking the huddle at 11:51
Before the snap at 11:49
Before the snap at 11:17

Those finger licks were just when he was on camera, too. So, based on this, it looks like he has a pattern. He definitely licks his fingers after breaking every huddle and before taking every snap. So in the case of finger licks 10 and 11, that's two licks within three seconds. He also — as he's said previously — sometimes licks his fingers after the play, as evidenced by No. 5.

Him stopping his linger licking routine will probably have little to no impact on whether or not he gets infected with covid. While it is possible to spread it from surfaces or your hands, it's actually incredibly unlikely and one of the most overblown things our society has worried about maybe in my lifetime. I think I remember reading a study where maybe 1 in every 650 cases occurred due to surface related spreading and then touching facial area. It's very rare and difficult to spread that way(and thankfully the CDC has finally acknowledged that, as epidemiologists and virologists that have actually studied he virus instead of making some random guesses based on trying to look important on the news or out of fear have been saying that since almost the very beginning). Washing your hands several times a day is good hygiene. Cutting back on touching your face is probably not a bad philosophy either. Neither will probably impact your ability to get the virus unless you are just incredibly unlucky. There is no point in washing your hands until they are so dry that the skin starts to peel off.
