Tommy DeVito is the only Giants QB in my lifetime that I’ve found it difficult to hate. The QBs we grew up with are goofy white guys that look like this:

Two Super Bowls for that guy.

 

Then there’s Daniel Jones, who does this:

It’s not hard to find something about them that you can’t stand. That’s where I’m having a tough time with DeVito. I feel dirty saying that out loud, but it’s true. This is the most fun story in the NFL right now. Undrafted local kid leading the Giants to a 3-1 record on the same field he won a state title in high school. It’s Disney shit. If you’re an Eagles fan, how can you not root for him even a little bit?


He’s doing autograph signings at Primo’s, for God’s sake:

A reality show about the DeVitos would do NUMBERS!

And he’s not half bad on the field! Look at these plays he made last night:

We have Brian Daboll literally falling in love with the guy right in front of Daniel Jones:

Jalen Hurts is admired and beloved here, but Tommy DeVito would be a God in Philadelphia. A God!

We could be sleeping with the seven fishes on Christmas.
