Where Did Ryan Fitzpatrick Go To College, Again?
From Peter Richmond at Grantland:
His economics degree from Harvard would have earned him serial Maseratis at Christmas-bonus time... his Ivy sheepskin... "I picked the only profession in the world where my Harvard degree worked against me" ... "Some coaches never want a guy in there that they feel like he's too smart" ... "What if he wants to leave for business school?'" ... "Bart Scott said I couldn't throw a book at him" ... "because I went to Harvard" ... "negative stigma attached to going to Harvard is gone" ... Ivy geek... first call from Harvard... no idea that Harvard had a football team... report of his perfect score on the 50-question Wonderlic test... was inaccurate... Harvard's foppish final clubs... Episcopalian honkies with three names and a love of playing squash at lunch... practice GMAT... "rocket scientist"... math nerd... economics degree... "Harvard doesn't have a business major" ... Brainy-QB-as-Savior... Marv Levy, armed with a Masters in English history from Harvard... Ivy-wise... Yale grad Dick Jauron... Robert Frost, a Harvard dropout... a guy who's read Adam Smith... mathematical probabilities... indulging my desire to have the smart guy sound smart... spent seven years trying to convince people he isn't too smart... it's not, like, rocket science.
According to his website, "Peter Richmond attended The Choate School and Yale University... and he was awarded a Nieman Fellowship in Journalism at Harvard."
