Rooting for the Eagles tonight. Good to see Kelly having success, and I'm a fan of Foles. I didn't understand why he fell in the draft. He can do it all.

The Boston Globe:

Ten years after Drew Brees led Westlake High School to the Texas state championship, Nick Foles came along and broke many of his passing records, but couldn’t deliver another title for the Austin-based school. The two quarterbacks go head to head for the first time in the NFL with more at stake when Brees and the New Orleans Saints (11-5) visit Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) in an NFC wild-card playoff game Saturday night. ‘‘Drew is a tremendous player. He’s a guy that I've looked up to,’’ Foles said. ‘‘He’s a great role model for fellow players, kids and adults. What he does in the community, what he’s done for Louisiana and across the nation, he does a great job of being a good person, helping people in need. “He’s a guy I've watched on film and just watched what he’s done and I have a lot of respect for him as a player and a person. I know Westlake is really proud. It’s a great place to go to school, great place to grow up.’’
‘‘When he’s out there, he’s a warrior,’’ Foles said. ‘‘There aren’t many guys who can make the throws that he makes. He has great intensity and he’s an underrated athlete. I've seen pictures of him dunking on goalposts and certain things. You can just see his leadership, and I've always looked up to him as a leader.”

Brees is going to have that Eagles defense for dinner and dessert.

Brees will have roughly 350 yds passing, 3-4 tds, and 0 turnovers in a Saints victory
