We hope that you were over 18 years old while reading this and we apologize for the vulgar language and subject matter. We are pretty sure he meant for his success - but he's probably happy about the other thing too.Īnd that, my friends, is the origin story of Footlong Foles - the incredible quarterback whose legend continues to grow. PhillyVoice reached out to Barwin after this story was first posted and the current Giants' pass rusher told us "I think I'll just leave it there. ![]() J" or "The Answer" one day? I would guess not. In Eagles chats with Jimmy Kempski, you'll see him referred to lovingly as BDN (shorthand of course for big disco-stick Nick).Īnd you can thank one-time fan favorite Barwin - who famously gave charitably and took the subway to work every day while he was an Eagles player - for taking a peek, curiously, at his teammate's pied piper one day after practice and confirming to the world that it was, well "nice."ĭid he know it would become as Philadelphian as "Dr. The nickname doesn't seem to be going away, and there will be chatter about the size of Foles' manhood probably forever. įor a man like that to have a headline like this run after he wins a championship is worthy of a chuckle for more than a few reasons: Allegedly Enormous-Donged Eagles QB Leads Team To Super Bowl Victory So, yeah, I’m all in on Nick Foles and I hope he throws for 400 yards Sunday. Also, they tipped me $200 on a $150 check. In that moment, I thought, WOW WHAT A GUY! WHAT A COUPLE. Long story short, Nick looks up at me and says, “You have something, I can see it, follow your dreams.” Tori nodded in agreement. They were very in love, and I overheard very sweet and kind words back and forth to each other all night. They both treated me so kindly and were so interested in me and my life. Nick and his gorgeous wife, Tori, sat in my section. I worked at a restaurant named Buddakan in Philly. There have been stories about Foles and his wife and how special they are to the community, like this one from a staffer at The Ringer: Lane tried to listen closely because he had never heard Foles curse and he thought that might be his chance. Lane Johnson said Nick Foles never cursed while he was yelling about that facemask call the refs missed. That's when his one-eyed monster became relevant again. His performance started slow, but eventually Foles became a playoff legend, downing the Falcons and Vikings to get Philly back to the Super Bowl - where he outdueled Tom Brady and won MVP. "Doesn't the internet know it's Nick Foles?"įor what it's worth, Evan Mathis, a former offensive lineman chimed in too, saying "I do not condone this reply," in the response on Reddit.įoles was traded away in 2015 in a move that would eventually forge the path for the Eagles to gain enough firepower to move up and draft Carson Wentz in 2016, and the pontification over his third leg went mum for a few seasons.įoles signed in Philly as a free agent and took over for Wentz after the MVP candidate tore his ACL and was done for the season. ![]() ![]() For whatever reason, Barwin chose to answer a posed question from a fan about whose Weiner Schnitzel was the biggest in the Eagles locker room. In a post on the sports gossip site , a Reddit Q&A with former defensive end Connor Barwin was cited way back in 2014, during Foles' first tour of duty with the team that drafted him. And while he's been a stud since returning to the Birds two seasons ago, it has less to do with his play on the field than, well, other things. Like so many pieces of folklore, there may be some truth to it. The name, proclaiming to the world that the 6-foot-6 quarterback from Arizona has a gargantuan ding dong was not, as many would expect, originated by Philly fans just being Philly fans. If you are reading this, you are familiar with the name. (Or Big Stick Nick, in the presence of children.)
