Breaux Greer: deliciously Cajun. A fan of silent letters. A man who, in front of a camera, can convincingly play a pizza delivery man, a plumber, or the good friend of a young girl’s father who just happens to drop by when the father is conveniently away on business.
In an interview for ESPN The Magazine, Mr. Greer, the best javelin thrower this side of Skudeneshavn, gave the world the following:
[…] The native of Monroe, La., wants you to know that he has a plan in place if he fails to qualify at the trials in July. “I think I’ll do porn,” he says in a deep, gravelly, Cajun accent. “That’s something I know I do well.”
Well, personally, I didn’t think he was THAT great.
But then again, the article title already has his adult film nickname signed, sealed, and delivered. And ultimately, can you blame him for wanting to get paid to have his skudeneshavn?

“Breaux knows spears!”

I read that the other day. I liked when he talked about painting with all the colors of the wind. Or whatever.

@Dave: Very well done. Taking that a step further, you arrive at an obvious tagline for one of Greer’s future cinematic endeavors… but I don’t think I can put it on a family site such as this. Breaux Knows… well, let’s just say they rhyme with his first name.
Also, can I go on record as saying I sincerely hope Breaux continues to wear that support belt in his second career?

Mr. Mosher:
Thank you sir and glad you not only recalled the once upon “Bo Knows…” ad campaign but further got the double entendre per Breaux’s javelin prowess in light of the porn reference in the ESPN piece…
I’m a distance runner but do enjoy watching this kid ply his trade - in the javelin that is.
That said, for now I plan on keeping my mind off of other potential uses for Breaux’s support belts…after all…
Breaux knows throes, er throws!
