Brees wrote on Twitter earlier this week that he was looking forward to travelling to a top-secret location to film a commercial for PointsBetUSA.
When Brees displayed his excitement on Monday, this definitely wasn’t the outcome he had anticipated. Although it’s still unclear, considering the comment issued by PointsBet Sportsbook, one has to assume that Brees being struck by lightning wasn’t a part of the promotion. Brees is allegedly not in the severe condition as a result, if the video is authentic and if he really did experience a lightning hit.
According to several recent allegations, Brees wasn’t really struck by lightning, and the entire incident was staged.
