Springfield, MO—Drew Brees recently spoke at the 14th Annual Steak & Steak Dinner to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield and completed an astonishing 70.6% of his speech with remarkable accuracy. The Super Bowl MVP set a franchise record for speaking in front of people eating steak while raising money for charity.
The Super Bowl winning New Orleans Saints quarterback won the crowd over by digging deep into his playbook to deliver a speech that was a combination of quick wit and sharp, accurate comments. However, early in the speech Brees faced a deficit of crowd approval by fumbling two attempts at humor. He recovered quickly by handing off to RB Reggie Bush for a quick burst of comic relief.
“This was a great reception. At first, I attempted a flat route with my speech and went with a down and out pattern both failing to produce results. Realizing I was about to be sacked, I called the halfback option and Reggie really provided the jumpstart I needed before he tossed it back to me. This was a team victory,” said Brees.
Brees left the event with guest speaker record highs in verb-noun agreement completion percentage, highest laughs per attempt at humor (LPAH), and most consecutive attempts at conjugation without a fumble or interception of thought. His delivery was on target and he completed the night with an unheard of 94.8% QB rating.
Toward the end of his speech Brees topped off the winning drive with a dazzling quarterback scramble rocketing his message into the hearts of those in attendance. Scoring quickly and efficiently, Brees’ individual statistics led to numerous accolades; he was named the Offensive player of the night.
“Offensive? Who dat? Brees? I didn’t think he was offensive,” said Mary Jimble, who was seated a table near the back of the University Plaza Convention Center banquet hall.
The 14th Annual Steak & Steak Dinner and Charity Auction is the largest annual fundraising event for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield.
