Back in April, after he was traded, I blogged a thank you to Donovan McNabb. I thought then that, after a respectful interlude, I’d post about the things Donovan did or didn’t do which drove the average Philadelphia sports fan nuts. Donovan’s recent WAAAAAAHHHHHH-fest in GQ seemed like a good time resurrect the subject. In [...]
Whenever I think of Donovan McNabb, there is this image my mind conjures up. The date is December 30, 2000 and the then young, upstart Eagles are hosting the favored Tampa Bay Bucs and their ferocious defense in an NFC wild card game. It had snowed the night before and the air was frigid. The [...]
I don’t get too spun up about birthdays. They don’t make me feel old. Brian Westbrook being cut by the Eagles makes me feel old. When a guy like Mike Schmidt retires or a guy like Westbrook leaves, it’s a reminder of the years that have passed. So today I’m bummed out for two reasons: [...]

That old feeling is back. The one you get when the rollercoaster is headed heavenward…the heart palpitations, the restless nights, the roiling stomach and nerves stretched tight as a drum. The Eagles are one win away from their second Super Bowl appearance in five years. They are one loss away from exile to the cold [...]
