Well... We didn't think we'd be telling this story today, but that's what we love about this beautiful game of football and our Philadelphia Eagles. No one knows what to expect. That's a constant in team sports, it's unpredictable nature. Nick's entry into this team was a surprise, and it's only fitting that we were surprised by the announcement of his exit. The only man walking Planet Earth who can say he led the Eagles to a Super Bowl win as their starting quarterback has determined he'll hang the cleats up and ride off into the sunset. He announced this via his social media accounts. We didn't want to simply write the 'Nick Foles retires' story. You'll see 30 of those. We thought he deserved better than that. This feels like a time for a better story (or several). There are so many moments we can share about Nick's pair of stints in the City of Brotherly Love with the Birds. We've trimmed it to five. How about we do something like this? Yeah... This is more like it. Someone as near and dear to our hearts
