Darren Rizzi, the new interim head coach of the New Orleans Saints shared a few strong and emotional comments during his debut press conference on Monday. Despite all those comments being very cut and dry, he also had a few funny observations come up from his promotion.
Specifically one regarding T-shirts that Saints players had printed out last season, around Christmastime, in regards to him. These shirts read “Merry Rizzmas” a play on Rizzi’s last name and what he referred to as the “word of the year” in 2023.
“I got guys in the locker room (they) were wearing ‘Merry Rizzmas’ shirts,” Rizzi said, “You know Bink and those guys had the ‘Merry Rizzmas’ shirts. I didn’t even know what ‘rizz’ meant to be honest with you, I’m not a big social media guy. So, all I was told was I made the word of the year last year with r’izz.'”
Seemingly Khalen “Bink” Saunders was the one making this happen, and he followed up the quote on Tuesday saying he will wear his shirt on Wednesday as well. Some fun jokes developing around the Saints facility as they look to their new interim head coach to improve the team. Maybe it’s the start of a vibes shift in a positive direction.
