FitzMagic Is Apparently Alive and Well in Tampa
The legend continues to grow with each passing Sunday.
It's a compelling story involving a heavily bearded, Harvard-educated journeyman NFL QB.
Also something referred to as FitzMagic.
Here's Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter to explain in more detail:
Dude seemed a little smug there at the beginning, but we'll allow it.
Coach Koetter was of course talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had just eviscerated the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome with a 48-40 video game final score.
The carnage was great, as Fitz dropped 417 yards and four TD's on the clearly shellshocked Saints.
That's just absurd.
But this is just one game.
Surely, the fun would end in Week 2 when the defending champs came calling.
Yes, that was the very first play from scrimmage, FitzMagic hooking up with DeSean Jackson again. Or previously.
Your current frontrunner for NFL MVP inexplicably carved up the Eagles to the tune of 402 yards and four more TD's.
The Twitters instantly reacted to this strange phenomenon.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is scheduled for 41 drug tests tomorrow.

Some players thrive in certain situations: Tom Brady late in a big game, Aaron Rodgers against a single safety, and Ryan Fitzpatrick when there’s the slightest hint a team will give him $10 million the following season.

After lighting up Philly, the FitzMagic continued in the postgame presser.
This might officially be the best thing ever.
The deeply troubled Jameis Winston is set to return from suspension soon, but Chest Rockwell may have staked his claim to the starting gig.
