The Football Professor

I think I have myself a new favorite football player. Meet Tennessee Titans kick returner/defensive specialist Chris Carr, lover of Woody Allen films, aspiring law student or professor, book nerd (predominantly sci-fi, history, and philosophy) and part-time magician. He had a 4.0 GPA at Boise State, which already makes him one of the best things to come out of Idaho this century (the Larry Craig scandal is #1, of course). Part of me actually wants him to fail at football so he can be surrounded by people who read things other than playbooks and porn mags, while part of me wants him to be the greatest football player ever. I never thought I could seriously ask a professional football player whether he thought Deconstructing Harry stood on the same level as classic Allen material. (via Deadspin).
