Please Don’t Share The Drew Brees Car Wreck Story

The above photo is a screen shot of a story that's been periodically popping up on Facebook since 2012. That was the first time I noticed it, anyway. It's bogus, and could potentially harm your computer. Over the past three years, I've seen the same story shared, using the same photo, but the name of the player is changed. It comes from an untrustworthy site called mediafetcher.com. I'm not sharing a link here because I don't recommend visiting that site. If a Super Bowl MVP quarterback, who's on his way to the Hall of Fame, had indeed been involved in such a crash, major news outlets like ESPN, the NFL Network, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox would be all over the story. Stories of this nature are often links to malicious sites that will infect your computer with some VERY troublesome things. People sometimes ask me, "Why would anyone do  this?" That's a good question, for which I don't have a good answer.
