Yeah CNS loves Jalen a lot for sure.

One of my favorite moments of the last few years was him getting choked up postgame after Jalen led the comeback in the 2018 SECCG.

This is about as emotional as you’ll see CNS get.....

When the Eagles won the super bowl they did it with back up QB Nick Foles. After that the talk radio in Philly spent a lot of time arguing who the Eagles should keep as QB, Wentz or Foles. The spit was about 60/40 among fans. Most didn't have confidence in Wentz and thought the Eagles should have traded him. I'm hoping Hurts turns out to be the bargain of the decade when it comes to drafting QB's.

I would...but I just cannot stomach the Eagles because of their fans...almost anywhere but Philly and I could pull for him. This is existential angst...pure and simple.

Wentz is done - never was the franchise QB his fat contract made him out to be, and the Iggles’ front office is about to implode from the ramifications of that contract. What with all the injuries, thinness in the ranks of skill pos. players and on the OL, the QB job should be Jalen’s to lose this year and if Pederson is retained, going forward as well -
I never thought Wentz was a top QB..but he played in a great system in college and I enjoyed watching those kids. When he got drafted to NFL..I was a little surprised as to his draft status. So I thought he must have been better than I thought. I figured he must be like Andy Dalton...whom I still believe is an inferior QB to AJ McCarron but AJ is not popular apparently. But does Wentz have Jalen's talent?? Heck no. Different kind of talent there. From all I can see...and I am no coach...Wentz is in the wrong Offense for his skill sets. Jalen is more what nfl teams are after now. And I once thought Jalen would never play pro ball. Never doubted that he was an athlete.

They are special. Wasn't it the Philly fans who pelted Santa with snowballs?
Also, I saw an interview of a Reds fan who made the mistake of taking his ten year old daughter to watch the Reds play in Philly. Two Phillies fans were cussing so much at the Reds, and making such backsides of themselves, that the dad had had enough and asked them to tone it down. One of the Phillies fans then deliberately threw up on the dad and his daughter. Philly fans...

They are demented...put a fence around Philadelphia and call it an insane asylum as far as I'm concerned. Can I get in trouble for that? Sounds pretty harsh and judgmental...LOL.

I can’t express how happy I am for Jalen Hurts. I absolutely love him, and will be a happy dad if my son grows into a young man with half of the character that Jalen possesses.

Minutes after the championship game, when Jalen came in for Tua, and won the game for Bama, I reached out to my friend Daniel Moore and told him that I believed Jalen’s moment of “Redemption” that we just witnessed was going to be his next painting. “Crimson Redemption” is what he entitled it, and I received a package in the mail with an “artist proof” edition of the print.

I cherish it as much as my highly-collectible DM print collection because of what Jalen means to me personally.

Roll Tide, Jalen!!!
