While the rest of the sports media world thinks the big news out of Philadelphia today has to do with some guy named Michael Vick, "The Gray Lady" was digging for a different angle. (These folks haven't won an industry-high 101 Pulitzer Prizes for nothing.)
Judging from the headline of this article that will be in this week's The New York Times Magazine and is prominently featured on nytimes.com at the time of this screen grab, the muckrakers in New York are looking at how the whole Eagles quarterback controversy is affecting former NU QB Mike Kafka.
And it's about time someone in the lamestream (read: non-Northwestern-centric) media pays some attention to Kafka again. We really haven't heard anything about the man who owns the Outback Bowl record for most passing yards in a game (Suck it, former record holder Drew Brees!) since Marty Mrornhinweg was singing his praises in the preseason.
So kudos to the intrepid journalists at The New York Times for boldly going where others dare not venture.

You're a frickin' nerd.
Are you implying, in your picture caption, that Kafka has undergone some sort of... Metamorphosis?
