Eagles fans, booze, live television, what could go wrong?: quite a bit, as it turns out. Though, no one said that spontaneous explosions of vulgarity on live television wouldn’t be funny.
After the Eagles dismantled the Minnesota Vikings 38-7 in the NFC Championship game, local Philadelphia ABC Channel 6 (WPVI) interviewed an Eagles fan with an eye-patch. Because when you see an Eagles fan with an eye-patch, that is what you do.
What followed, was pretty much exactly what you would expect:
Anatomical references aside, he pretty much nailed it. Wentz went down, and Nick Foles did indeed step up. Not only that, the eye-patch wearing Eagles fan also started a trend with his off-color commentary:

Though, apparently, the legend of “Big D*ck Nick” did not begin last night. Awful Announcing found these tweets from earlier this season:

According to Awful Announcing, “But where does this all come from? Well…there’s a May 2014 Crossing Broad story titled ‘Apparently Nick Foles Has the Biggest D*ck on the Eagles,’ which centers on then-Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin responding to a Reddit AMA question of “Biggest weiner in the locker room?” with “Doesn’t the internet know it’s Nick Foles?” And Barstool Sports’ Dan Katz brought that up again this year when Wentz went down”:
So while the Eagles fan with an eye-patch may not have created the “Big D*ck Nick” moniker, he will be remembered as the man who made it famous. Though, ironically, for all the fame and adoration that “Big D*ck Nick” has achieved with Eagles fans this year, even if Philadelphia wins the Super Bowl; Foles will not be the Eagles starter when the 2018 season begins in September.
However, Eagles fans will always have an amazing nickname, and possibly, a Super Bowl title, to remember him by.
