Speaking of dumb people talking about sports...Did anyone see this Buzz Bissinger column about Nick Foles?
http://www.phillymag.com/articles/nick- ... s-profile/Instead, what has emerged is a one-dimensional choirboy caricature reflective of a player and a team and a league terrified of individuality. Foles is selling himself, and being sold by the born-again Eagles, as the anti-DeSean: contrite, non-charismatic, cautious, churchgoing, Caucasian. The perfect poster boy for Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and commissioner Roger Goodell’s vision of a new NFL theme park where players have no discernible personality and the Twitter account is laced with Glories to God...
The article basically says that Nick Foles isn't the real deal cause he's soft spoken and humble, which means he's weak and lacks the intensity of a champion. In his closing paragraph he literally calls Foles a "chickenshit". Worth noting, the article also makes numerous, increasingly whiny mentions of the fact that Bissinger asked Foles for an interview to write the article and Foles declined.
Now Foles still has to repeat his success this year to prove that he's the real deal, since many a backup-turned-starter had that one great year and nothing else, but Bissinger's argument has nothing to do with football and reeks of personal resentment. A shame, because Bissinger used to be a serious writer.
