Tampa Special? How Nick Foles nearly became a Buccaneers quarterback

PHILADELPHIA -- Crazy to think how a single choice at a crossroad led to the "Philly Special," a Super Bowl Bowl MVP and an avalanche of Philadelphia Sports history, and how none of it would have unfolded in the same fashion if Nick Foles had gone left instead of right. Or, more accurately, south instead of north.

The Philadelphia Eagles play at the Tampa Bay Bucs Sunday. In a parallel universe, Foles would be coming out of the tunnel wearing pewter and red rather than midnight green.
