Oprah's awkward moment...

If someone were to do a poll of the most influential people in the United States, the results may show Oprah as being more popular than any sports figure. Heck, even the President probably pales in comparison to Oprah, who has developed a following as large as any. But that doesn't mean that Oprah can just go around saying/doing whatever she wants, as she did when she interviewed Super Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees on her show.





I don't know if she has been living under a rock for like a month or not, or if this was supposed to be a joke, but she simply screwed this one up. Everyone and their mother has already questioned to themselves what the mark on Brees's cheek is, and during any free moment during the Saints' Super Bowl Run, the announcers talked about how it was in fact a very large birthmark.


Brees is the one on the left, not Alfonso Ribiero from Fresh Prince of Bel Air (in case there was any confusion).

Kudos to Brees for not making a big deal out of it, but hopefully others will use this to convince Oprah that even being Oprah has its limits.
