Bacon, Eggs and Eagles – Jordan Matthews ‘Man Crush’?

Penn State football coach James Franklin has a man crush on Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews — and he’s not afraid to admit it.

“I love Jordan,” Franklin said in an appearance on Comcast SportsNet’s Philly Sports Talk Monday. “I’ve had a man crush on Jordan for a long time. I told the Eagles’ organization that when they were thinking about drafting him.”

Jeff Garcia and Nick Foles, two quarterbacks that led the Eagles on playoff runs after beginning the season on the bench, now find themselves together in St. Louis under a coach that preceded them in Philly by 15 years.
