There’s a fan in the crowd known as “Whistle Man” who is driving us all crazy with some incessant whistling during the NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams.
There are a lot of theories about whether said fan is using a whistle or if his own whistling is just so darn loud it’s piercing through all the rest of the noise and going into televisions across the nation.
But apparently, it’s his own sound and it comes out just like the ones the NFL refs are using.
Those asking about the whistles from the crowd on saints/rams game. The Saints have a super fan nicknamed “whistle man” .. no joke .. have met him many times, great guy. He wears a whistle costume to games. He has the loudest, most piercing natural whistle I have ever heard.

Not bothered by Whistle Guy in the slightest, but I have a five-year old son so those things may be correlated.

Needs to be kicked out of the Stadium. Nothing wrong with loud noise – that's homefield advantage – but the whistling literally impedes every play. Players are trained from a young age to stop playing as soon as they hear a whistle. https://t.co/QaaNJgfVZi

I don’t wanna sound extreme but the person with the whistle in the crowd needs to be #1 on the FBI’s most wanted list *immediately*
