Whether it was a publicity stunt or an actual lightning strike, drewbrees is fine according to multiple media reports

Apparently nothing gets people to want to gamble on sports like faking potential serious injury to one of the greatest quarterbacks in Purdue history.

Early Friday morning, a tweet by Rafael Hernandez said former Purdue and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was struck by lightning while filming a promotional video for Points Bet in Venezuela. Hernandez, who is listed as a filmmaker on his Twitter bio, included video and said,"More info in a few minutes," but didn't tweet again.

Points Bet tweeted:"We are aware of the media coverage regarding PointsBet brand ambassador Drew Brees. We are in communication with Brees' team and will continue to monitor events throughout the coming hours. At this stage we will not be making any further comment."
