Chris Stigall: Carson Wentz Is A Conservative

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - On Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Chris Stigall jokingly stated he believes Eagles Quarterback Carson Wentz is a conservative and will suffer greater media scrutiny should he begin to struggle on the football field.

 

"Carson Wentz is the guy that everyone is talking about, player of the week and all of this. Carson Wentz shoots guns. He hunts animals. He prays to God. Capital G-O-D. He invokes Jesus Christ on his Twitter account. He listens to praise music to get jacked up before games. Dare I say it, folks, Carson Wentz might just be a conservative," Stigall said in a joking manner. "I just hope he keeps winning because if he doesn't, look out. They'll tolerate him as long as he keeps winning, but, I mean, if he fumbles, if he fails, if he wobbles, if he gets a little wobbly out there for a game or two, look out. You'll meet the Tim Tebow fate, Carson."

Stigall thinks that the more high profile Wentz becomes, the more scrutiny his personal life will face.

"Based on what I'm observing from Carson Wentz, gun owner, hunter, obviously a devout Christian. Oh, oh, oh, and he has a committed, long term girlfriend with whom he does not live. He doesn't shack up. They're not having sex. Folks, this guy, I hate to say it, I hate to do this to Carson Wentz, I don't wish him any ill will but he sounds like a right wing zealot. He sounds like a gun toting, Bible thumping, moralistic, right winger. I hope they don't get into his voter registration information. He may be a registered Republican."
