This is the work of defensive end Chris Long.

He’s turned one compartment of his locker into a Nick Foles sanctuary, complete with candles, incense, a photograph of Foles as a Saint Louis Rams player, and a copy of his autobiography, Believe It, My Journey of Success, Failure, and Overcoming the Odds.

See for yourself:

Howard is right. They are having fun again.

Apparently there is also a candle lighting ritual that takes place as well, which you can witness after the jump:


Instructions, per Chris Long:

“Just for today, those three (candles). There’s a whole sequence you gotta do. Tomorrow we’ll do the other two and then we’ll light the incense on Saturday.”

I’m kind of intrigued to see what happens next… How do you complete the ritual? Do you make an offering? A blood sacrifice? Animal bones arranged in a circular pattern?

Anyway, Nick Foles is walking around the NovaCare Complex in amphibious running shoes and now he has a shrine dedicated to him.

Eagles by 50 on Sunday.
