Nick Foles is a Super Bowl champ and a best-selling author

Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles has done two things Matt Ryan has never been able to do -- win a Super Bowl and write a best-seller. Yeah, I'm talking about a book, an actual book. Foles' autobiography "Believe It," will debut at number five on the New York Times' nonfiction best-seller list (I didn't even know there was such a thing).

The book basically talks about the journey of his career; from sucking to contemplating retirement, to winning a Super Bowl. It also talks about his faith, if you're into that sort of thing. I haven't read it yet, but plan to add it to my list - gotta finish my actual murder books first before I move on to the murder of Tom Brady​.

Buzz-worthy:

• Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim had a little too much fun over the Fourth of July. Keim was cited for a DUI on the fourth during a traffic stop. When summer break is usually the time to worry about young players getting arrested, it'll be interesting to see what, if any, discipline Keim will receive from the NFL. TAKE AN UBER
• Baltimore Ravens backup QB Lamar Jackson was named ACC's 2017 Man of the Year after topping the ACC in passing yards, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns, among others. 
• Miami Dolphins RB Frank Gore and Buffalo Bills RB LeSean McCoy are working out together, even though they're "division rivals (they are but not really because the Patriots take the cake every single season anyways)." Gore even called McCoy "the best running back in the NFL," which is generous of him.
• Houston Texans defender JJ Watt asked his Twitter followers what Italian restaurant he should eat at in Houston, and Twitter picked OLIVE GARDEN. This is why you can never take Twitter too seriously.
• Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin got "engaged" this weekend - which I don't believe a second of. Now, as many of you know, I'm an avid reader of CDAN - and apparently a certain ex of Bieber's got fake-married recently too, which makes the timing of this a little....iffy?
• Indianapolis Colts QB (arguably) Andrew Luck lost his wallet while on a bike ride (of course), and the good-deed-doing man who returned it, got a gift in return. Way to go, bike rider man!
• Oh no. Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is gonna be on tv again. After that god-awful reality show, I don't know if I can quite handle this. It's an unnamed show with John C. Reilly  - "Right now it's being pitched, so hopefully someone will pick it up in the next few months. I'm only in one of the episodes but I had the pleasure of working with a great group of actors."
• Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins​ wanted to be drafted by the New England Patriots or the New Orleans Saints to sit behind Tom Brady or Drew Brees and instead he got drafted by the.....-drum roll-... Washington Redskins. (fart noise)
• I am confident in saying that the New York Jets are going 0-16 this season. Why? Woody Johnson is raising his two sons, "just like Donald Trump." 
• Tampa Bay Bucs TE Cameron Brate came up with a foolproof way to avoid the HBO Hard Knocks cameras. "I figured out if you wave at the cameras, they won't put that on, ever. So you have to start waving at the cameras."

What I'm reading today:

• Panthers coach Ron Rivera created a fancy sushi roll. Here's what's in it: (Charlotte Observer)
• Ex-NFL scout: Earl Thomas situation 'still in play' for the Dallas Cowboys (Dallas News)
• Kyle Rudolph-Harrison Smith friendship began with a fight at Irish camp (Star Tribune)
• Why Ice Cube turned to ex-Raiders exec Amy Trask to help guide his basketball league (East Bay Times)
• Woman dies following exposure to nerve agent in Amesbury (Metropolitan Police)
