In his retirement speech, Jason Kelce couldn’t resist mentioning “Big D–k” Nick Foles and coach Doug Pederson. Reflecting on his 13-year career as the Eagles’ center, Kelce became emotional at times.
He reminisced about the iconic “Philly Special” play from their Super Bowl 2018 victory against the Patriots.
Kelce: “I won’t forget Nick Foles having the biggest game of his life, on the biggest stage possible — and the biggest d–k on the team, going up to Doug Pederson, and asking for the Philly Special, and Doug Pederson having the biggest balls in the stadium … to say, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’”
During a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) in 2014, Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin unexpectedly chose to answer a fan’s question about penis sizes. Here’s that fated Interaction
Question: One factoid I’ll never have access to: Biggest wiener in the locker room? My sleeper picks are Alex ‘Moose Knuckle’ Henery and Nasty Nate Allen. Your astute clarification would be appreciated. |
Barwin: Doesn’t the internet know it’s Nick Foles? |
Since then, Nick Foles has been nicknamed as ‘Big D–k Nick”. Several other sources came to the support this claim in the past.
The Philly Special
The Philly Special, also known as Philly Philly, was a memorable trick play executed by the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018.
In this play, quarterback Nick Foles lined up behind his offensive line, while center Jason Kelce snapped the ball directly to running back Corey Clement. Clement then handed the ball off to tight end Trey Burton, who threw a pass to a wide-open Foles in the end zone, resulting in a touchdown.
This play marked the first time in Super Bowl history that a player both threw and caught a touchdown pass during the same game.
The decision by Eagles coach Doug Pederson to attempt the touchdown rather than a field goal proved crucial in their victory over the New England Patriots, ultimately leading them to a 41-33 win. This triumph ended the Eagles’ 57-year championship drought, making it a historic moment for the franchise. Many analysts have hailed the Philly Special as one of the “gutsiest” plays in Super Bowl history.
A teary Jason Kelce bid adieu to the football world today. He showered praise on Philadelphia, city that made them feel like a demigod. He extended his love to his wife and kids, brother Travis, and many other things including this story from this first and only Super Bowl win
