Is Nick Sirianni the kid from Elf? The memes, explained
OK, let’s start with the answer to the question above: no, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is NOT actually the kid actor who played Michael Hobbs in the Will Ferrell holiday classic Elf. That would be Daniel Tay.
So why are so many people convinced that Sirianni is the kid from Elf?
The answer is: it’s just a meme. People think that Sirianni in a winter hat looks like the kid from Elf, which has led to a lot of tweets like the ones below.
Sorry to burst your bubble if you thought this was true, but it’s good to know, right?
