Sports Illustrated stories on Drew Brees led with a mention of his birthmark as long ago as 1999. So I'm not sure what Oprah's excuse for trying to wipe it off his face will be, but I'm sure it will be almost as amusing as this is. (In typical Brees fashion, he laughed it off.)

You know…something like this happens and people laugh it off. You would think being a "reporter"/"journalist", she would be informed enough to know her interviewee.
Just goes to show you that she isn’t as great as everyone else thinks. She is an idiot.

She is not an idiot. She is a very busy woman who happened to make a mistake at work. We all do. Just goes to show that Oprah has the occassional bad day to.

Um…she was being silly and making a joke about it (more than likely pre-planned). Of course she knew it was a birthmark. Some of you are just gullible and fell for it. Now who’s the idiot?
