This guy is a frequent poster who I tend to believe:

“ Drew Brees story time. I grew up in South Bend before going to ND. A bunch of my friends went to Purdue. ND and Purdue played every year while we were in school so each year we would take turns going to stay with each other and going to the game.

Our junior year, my friend at Purdue and his roommates ended up with a really cool apartment above a bar. Not quite sure how they got it, but I think one of them knew the previous tenants. We went there to party the night before the nd game and at one point in the night, the door opens and it is Drew Brees with his Wife, brother, and sister in law. He apparently lived there when he went to Purdue. He came in to drink with us, (though he declined to play beer pong). There were many "boiler up" chants as beers were consumed. When we tried to get him to cheers to "go Irish," he said "fuck the Irish".

I have concerns that he may not be the most impartial commentator. Doug Flutie 2.”

Assuming that story is true...

Maybe he does hate the Irish.

Or maybe he was a former Purdue player who had a few beers the night before his former team was playing Notre Dame.


One thing in his favor...

he's not a complete dickbag like Flutie. I'd still rather have Dungy in the booth.
