ESPN the Magazine cover story proves Carson Wentz is larger than life

(Future MVP?) Carson Wentz was featured as the cover story for ESPN The Magazine this week.

The story references Wawa in the first sentence, so you know it's going to be good. It also features Ray Didinger dropping some knowledge on the history of the Birds and explores the complicated relationship between the town's last star quarterback, Donovan McNabb, and Eagles fans. It's well worth the read.

The story asks if Wentz and the Eagles are just setting fans up for another heartbreak — something lifetime fans should probably expect at this point. That's all fine and dandy, but there's one bit we need to discuss. The cover. Oh my, the cover.

Sure, we're thankful to have an incredible quarterback and all, but the symbolism of Wentz as some giant, grotesque Thanksgiving Parade float caricature is a bit much.

But Eagles fans would take a Super Bowl celebration parade down Broad Street over a lame Thanksgiving parade every day.
