What an awesome story. As an Eagles fan, Nick Foles is a huge inspiration for me.

[@matthewdaley746]

As a football fan, Nick Foles provided an invaluable service by preventing the, three-peat, that shall, never, be forgotten, period.

[@jbdixon4020]

so happy he didn’t retire 🦅

[@matthewdaley746]

Even happier he's, victorious.

You know, people say that God doesn’t care about sports. And that assertion isn’t wrong. But God *does* care about what His children care about. If it’s important to you, it’s important to Him. Certainly a career trajectory in a person’s life is pretty important. As a person of faith, I think this story is remarkable not just because Foles helped the Eagles win a Super Bowl after almost retiring, because it illustrates that God was aware of Nick and wanted to help him pursue something important to him and his family. Sometimes, the knowledge that God is aware of you and your troubles is enough to get you through it. Great video, JG! And thanks to the patron who requested it. Heartwarming and faith-promoting stories are awesome!

[@saintbrownthetrojan]

Nice story, thanks to the patron for sharing it!

[@jaywmeinen]

Even as a diehard Cowboys fan, I always liked Nick Foles. I had heard that he contemplated retiring but didn’t know the whole story. Than you for sharing.

[@TLOWNSU]

As a Rams fan, I was actually devastated when Bradford was traded away for Foles. However the one season he was the starter I have weird fond memories of. Maybe it's because it was the last season of the St Louis Rams, but I just knew Foles was a good QB. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

[@jeremydobbs5578]

A heartening story.

[@steelcurtain187]

This guy is a total hero

Except, for, Patriots, "fans."

4:44 "seven touchdowns and ten interceptions, with a touchdown to interception ratio below one" lol

[@daveerhardt1879]

Inspirational story, thanks.

[@CTubeMan]

This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made a video about how Earl Morrall retired, then unretired before the 1969 season. Fun Fact: Foles started his college playing days at Michigan State, where Morrall went.

[@jordanroman841]

As a Die Hard Eagles fan who was a big fan of Nick Foles in his 1st sting with the Eagles i am very happy he did not retire. He dealt with a lot of BS in St. Louis. A back up in KC and then a Backup turned Super Bowl MVP in Philly

[@matthewdaley746]

Country essentially agrees here.

[@mrmoose6619]

Amazing story. Thank you for sharing and thank the Patron for suggesting.

[@matthewspallina226]

He’s literally the reason that I’m not upset about losing SB 57 but rather just disappointed

[@matthewdaley746]

You should be upset at Tom Brady, his historic performance went, for, naught, because, he, was, too pigheaded to take the sack, (not, that I'm complaining).

[@arizonawrestlinginterviews1040]

As a diehard Eagles fan, Foles is responsible for the greatest night of my life!

[@matthewdaley746]

Greatest in America, period.

[@PowerRangers12345]

I’ll never forgive Chip for trading Nick, but Nick got his revenge and so did philly.

[@BlackFlagsMatter]

When Nick Foles was almost forced into retirement after a season of playing for Jeff Fisher lol. The last opening day starter in St.Louis Rams history.

[@matthewdaley746]

That team, was, on borrowed time when, TGSOT, only, won, one, SB, and, it would have been zero had Kevin Dyson, not, turned, for, the football too, early, no doubt.

[@matthewdaley746]

@RuinsOfThePast Yeah, neat outside posters.

[@matthewdaley746]

@RuinsOfThePast Whoops, accidental errors generated.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

I'll say this for Big Pecker Nicholas Foles: How many among us in ANY field (medicine, politics, music), had their greatest performance on the highest stage, when anything less than perfection would have resulted in failure? Were he merely great in that Super Bowl, they lose by seven or 10 points. I kept waiting for him to cool off. He would drop back and you are thinking, this is picked, this is the end. He was spreading the ball, dropping dimes to receivers, and then led a drive to take the lead late, and avoided that key mistake. One mistake, and Brady wins that game. It's the greatest single unexpected performance in history.

[@matthewdaley746]

Actually, perfection, nearly, wasn't, enough, anyway, if Tom Brady, wasn't, too pigheaded to take the sack, it's, yet, another, Game he, wins, despite, being majorly outplayed.

[@Mr.MikeBarksdale]

@@matthewdaley746 It really was interesting to watch because all of you were like me, thinking Foles will make a mistake and end this. I can't think of anyone else in sports who HAD to be great, and actually balled-out.

[@matthewdaley746]

@@Mr.MikeBarksdale I get what you're saying, but, I, was, more, scared to death that Tom Brady would get bailed out by dumb luck, and/or, the officials, it happens far too often.

@@matthewdaley746 We both must be fans of Barry McCockiner. (Brady, to be fair, had the greatest career in NFL history. Still love dumping on him!)

[@matthewdaley746]

@Mr.MikeBarksdale That, we, are, and, the fact that he, lost, three, SBs, against weaker competition, while, beating, HOFers, is just, absolutely, Karmically, satisfying.

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

Hey I'm a lifelong Eagles fan & I've got nothing but good feelings for Nick Foles. If you want to know what his teammates thought of him look up what Chris Long thinks about him. He wasn't alone. The defense made a shrine to him during the playoffs that year & said they knew if they did there job Nick would get them there.

[@matthewdaley746]

He, gloriously, unquestionably, did.

[@CTubeMan]

If you ever have another “Fireside Chat” on KZbin this might the basis of some interesting conversation.

[@CTubeMan]

The Foles/Bradford trade would be the last time the Rams would trade a quarterback they drafted with the #1 overall pick.

[@jsivco3sivco785]

You mean that it WOULDN'T be the last time! (Goff, #1 in 2016)

Lol lol not to get political but remember when a previous president said 2 Corinthians. And some religious people said if you say it like that (instead of 2nd Corinthians) than it sounds like the beginning is f a bad joke.

@@Rockhound6165 wow o knew it would be someone. Congratulations

[@marcus813]

All it took for NFL history to eventually change was 2 Corinthians 12:9? I respect Foles for finding inspiration to keep playing football and achieve the fame he achieved with his play in Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. NFL history would look a lot different without him. Who else would step in for Carson Wentz after he tore his ACL in a road win against the Rams?

[@matthewdaley746]

Yeah, Tom Brady would have, won, three, straight, SBs, good thing, he, and, Eli Manning, appeared to have his number, it, was, really, really.

[@AdamJ617]

I’m sorry, but I’m a Dolphins fan, and SB LII is, by Far, my Least Favorite Super Bowl. Sorry if I’m biased, but it is because the Dolphins traded Jay Ajayi to the Eagles. How Dare They!!! 😡😡😡😡😡

[@matthewdaley746]

If Tom Brady, losing, a, SB, disappoints you, congratulations, you're, literally, the first person, not, from New England to be disappointed by this situation.

[@breguera77]

12:9 Brady 12 Foles 9

[@matthewdaley746]

With, his, retirement, (for, reals, this time), Nick Foles becomes only the third, QB, (Brian Griese, Jake Plummer), to, somehow, never, lose, to Tom Brady, glorious.

[@BluBoi70]

Good to know that Nick Foles is a Christian

[@farawayoutpost8342]

Honestly even if you don’t believe in God or Jesus, it’s amazing to see just how many NFL stars credit their success to God, ultimately being the reason they have success.

[@matthewdaley746]

Tom Brady's, three, SB, losses, proved, without, doubt, that, He, was, as sick of the repeated, winning, as the rest of us.

[@williammetz7500]

As a Dallas fan, I’ve always considered the messenger of Satan in verse 7 to be a reference to the Eagles themselves.😅

[@GetYourBeaks]

Jeff Fisher is truly one of the worst head coaches to ever coach the game. All I ever hear is about how players are ready to hang it up forever after playing for him. Even Eddie George didn't like him. Also imagine having Case Keenum and Nick Foles as your QBs and throwing them away just to see them take the field leading their teams against each other in the NFC Championship game not long after.
