I doubt Carr is the only one of the approx 1600 NFL players to have that birthday. I also doubt anybody on the Falcons cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have included a video of a mentally handicapped kid to make it funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is different than picking a specific date but an interesting statistic is if you have 23 people in a room there is a 50% chance two will have the same birthday. More fun facts, in the US the most common month for births is Sept. (Hanky panky around Xmas or Xxxmas time?) And the dates with the least number of births is Dec 24, 25, and Jan 1st, since people can plan their births. https://thedailyviz.com/2016/09/17/how-common-is-your-birthday-dailyviz/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also used to work with somebody who had the same birthday as me, we had around 25 employees at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rajncajn Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is a pay site, but I'm sharing the link anyway. This is one of THE best sites for Saints info and insight. In one of their latest podcasts it was stated that Carr was offered more money to go to the Jets, but opted with the Saints because he was their first choice. https://neworleans.football/members-only-breaking-down-the-value-of-derek-carrs-contract/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there were a bunch of other factors like the prospect of playing in a dome, the tough NY media, the pressure of NY, etc. He's a pretty sensitive dude, I bet he wanted no part of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
