The Biggest Question Surrounding Carson Wentz Halfway Through the Season
After a HUGE, season saving win on Sunday morning, the Eagles have some momentum heading into the bye week. This team went to London on their deathbed and came back in the prime of their life. And Carson Wentz, who went overseas being Tony Romo, came back in MVP form once more. The Eagles have two weeks to prep for the Cowboys. It is clear that Wentz will continue to have to carry the load if this team wants to win the division. So, the biggest question surrounding the quarterback halfway through the season has to be…
ARE TURTLENECKS AN ACCEPTABLE FASHION CHOICE?
Carson Wentz strolled up to the podium rocking one hell of an outfit. After this and the Kelly green blazer, is it time to ask if Wentz has taken over from Ben Simmons as the most fashionable athlete in Philadelphia?
The big takeaway from yesterday’s season saving win is: should you be in or out on turtlenecks?
On one hand, if you pull it off, you look very James Bond-esque. They are also very effective if you have relations with one of those rare psychopaths who still give hickey’s.
On the other hand, if you CAN’T pull it off, you could end up looking homeless. Like someone could look at you and think, “if I give this homeless guy in a turtleneck money do you think he will spend it on regular heroin or fentanyl laced heroin?” It’s a slippery slope. Plus, are we SURE turtlenecks are even comfortable?
I guess the turtleneck debate rages on…
Carson wearing that turtleneck was a very “burn the boats” move. You HAVE to win if you’re going to pull that outfit off. You can’t show up to a press conference in a turtleneck after a loss to Blake Bortles. Excellent chess not checkers move.
I know everyone is on edge about the trade deadline and adding a few pieces. So, I decided to make a Mt. Rushmore of turtlenecks to take everyone’s mind off things. It’s like in The Office when Dunder Mifflin is going bankrupt, so Michael gets everyone to play Belles, Bourbon & Bullets (a murder in Savannah) to distract his employees. So, thank you for my service:
1) Carson Wentz
I mean you knew this was coming, we just talked about this. Unrelated, but Wentz kneeling should not count as a rushing attempt. I should not lose a point in fantasy football because my NFL team didn’t need the full 60 minutes to beat your ass.
2) Drake
The melody of Hotline Bling sounds like it’s sung by a guy wearing a turtleneck. So, it’s only fitting he had one on during the music video. Great song. Great Artist. Great Turtleneck.
3) The Beatles
Not one, but four necks blanketed by the cotton of a turtleneck. Fitting that the Eagles just played in England and The Beatles appear on this list
4) Robert Redford
I’ll tell you what, I don’t know much about Redford’s work. But, when I googled “famous turtleneck wearers”, this guy really caught my eye.
Before this piece ends, I would just like to give credit where credit is due. To myself. I made it through this WHOLE post about extensive collars without bringing up Bryan Colangelo. That’s sheer writing talent.
