Hyperbole Dept., 12/27

Florida State has a football player who's a Rhodes Scholar. I think that's great. But you knew ESPN couldn't resist cornballing it as far as possible. In his typical weepy prestige style, Jeremy Schaap actually says--actually says--that if you rolled Deion Sanders, Mother Teresa and Einstein into one person, you might get this kid.

Hyperbole anyone?
