Brock Purdy was totally thrown off by a question from a reporter on Tuesday night.
Apparently, social media thinks the San Francisco 49ers quarterback resembles Lee Harvey Oswald. In case you need reminding, Oswald is the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
There’s also some speculation over whether Oswald and Purdy are related.
Of course, there is a home for such banter. But sometimes things cross over into mainstream media when they really shouldn’t, which was the case last night as a reporter thought it wise to ask the QB about the theory.
Purdy wouldn’t have been blamed for going off on the reporter but handled himself with class.
“I haven’t,” he said of the internet chatter. “That’s my first time hearing it.”
Asked what he thought about it, Purdy could only offer a long-drawn-out “Uhhh.”
“Uh, yeah, I don’t know,” he offered after the reporter pressed for comment on the possible physical resemblance.
Fans were understandably put off by the line of questioning.
“Wishing for someone to lose their job is normally very disrespectful.. but please fire that reporter,” one wrote.

Not his best moment…
Purdy will look to put the dumb questions behind him and turn his attention towards Sunday’s big game, where he and the Niners will look to avenge the franchise’s Super Bowl 54 loss by beating the Chiefs in this year’s big game.
