Anyone ever meet Loomis in person? (6 Viewers)

I was at Rolls N Bowls on Metairie Rd a few summers ago. In walks Loomis and he walks to the register to make a take out order. Seems like he has never been to the restaurant before or ate Vietnamese food. He tells the guy:

“Gimme one of those shrimp things. And my son wants the noodle dish. I ll take a few of these. Whats the meat and noodle dish? I ll take it. You can add a plate of that stuff with the pork.”

I remember thinking, sounds like the restaurant is familiar with what he orders and he must go there often, but he has no clue what any of the items are called. Makes sense now to see where the saints are with everything. Anybody else have any strange encounters like this with him?

This thread needs to be pinned. Days later I’m still laughing.

I once saw Drew Brees and his wife at the AMC theater on Manhattan Blvd. He was also with Aaron Stecker. After the movie my girlfriend and I happened to be walking behind them and when he got to the car he opened his wife’s door and gave her a kiss. My girlfriend at the time looked at me and asked why I didn’t treat her like that. I was a little annoyed at how awesome he was… It was the only time I kind of hated Drew Brees.

I was once in a dark room, and there were a lot of people wearing masks. Down was up, up was down. He may have been there. It may have been a Diddy freak off. I don’t know, it was all a blur.

Fat City in the 90s was a wild place.

Dad?

True story he goes to harrahs regularly and plays the exact same amount every hand. No matter winning or losing will never up his bet.

I've met and talked with Mickey a couple of times. Most recently was in Seattle at the team hotel in 2019. Nice guy and smart.

I have before, at a Tulane game. He’s pretty chill.

I’m sure he knows his limits

I met Loomis and Payton at a BJ's Brewhouse in Oxnard, CA after one of the 2011 training camp sessions. A few Saints fans at the practice met and became fast friends, went to grab a drink after, and saw Payton, Loomis, and others in their entourage. We all ran out to our cars to grab Saints memorabilia (we all had brought some to the practice to get signed by players). We approached Payton and Loomis, asked for autographs and pictures, and they were both super friendly and gracious (we were probably the only ones in the restaurant who recognized them). We ended up buying them a round of drinks. Core memory for me!

Met him at a Better Than Ezra show once about 15 years ago. Just a guy.

I like Ezra.

But they aren’t as good as……
