No joke, coming from a Louisianan. “Burreaux’s” would be the most packed restaurant in the state.

[@eaglesterroity4848]

😂😂

[@bigpapi2658]

Well, not exactly. 1) The restaurant was out of crawfish. 2) Coach O called his crawfish guy. 3) In 20 minutes they brought it to the restaurant. 4) Now it’s on the menu. The restaurant prepared it. 5) He didn’t say Coach O paid for it. He just said he helped the restaurant obtain crawfish. 6) If it was an official visit they can buy three meals a day, lodging and transportation for the recruit and two parents.

[@shmavster4209]

Tim Davis - an interview isn’t a violation ?

[@AreYouSureImNotBatman]

GRamoin he’s talking about the crawfish thing. You can’t receive “gifts” to go to a school. The crawfish would be considered a “gift”

Jason Massey isn’t it different saying it was a transfer? I’m not totally familiar

[@matthewcrane5294]

Eric Cyr either way it’s still to go to the school. High school recruit or college transfer either way it counts lmao

[@stubbs2841]

Matthew Crane just looked it up it is fine unless it’s deemed an excessive amount of times like Utah 2003 where he bought close to 100 meals for his players. Plus if it’s under 100 dollars it’s is fine ( no clue the amount it cost” but if they say they split for half and half then doubt each of them were over a 100

[@JKMcClaren1979]

If Joe Burrow did open a restaurant in Baton Rouge, he'd make a billion dollars. He could serve nutria rat... and he'd make a billion dollars.

[@derekthrasher8661]

Nutria is actually good

[@JKMcClaren1979]

Derek thrasher that’s funny. I just remember the news media trying to convince people to eat it when I was at LSU. Never tried it myself, but squirrel, alligator, and frog legs are good af so, why not add one more to the grill.

Boiled Crawfish is good. It’s been 20 years since I lived in Baton Rouge . Love the place. Originally From Ohio and I feel there is a connection between the 2 areas now since Burrow went there. My Brother watched him play in HS, he is a great kid. I could get easily recruited with pounds of 15 Lbs of crawfish. I learned what how bland I was eating. Great Story.

[@drewnayr1188]

Best interview with a football player I've seen in a while. No offense to other players, but I feel like most interviews I see guys are too worried about saying the right thing, or just not being able speak publicly very well so their personalities don't really come through like Burrow's does here.

[@CrimsonDad813]

Dude had the advantage for sure this year.He’s 23, most of these kids are 18-19 years old.
