And behold, a pale horse

It must be the apocalypse. I actually agree with something that came out of Stephen A. Smith’s keyboard. Probably despite his best efforts, and all of the intolerable little Stephen A. Smith mannerisms (corn on the Kalb? come on man), he manages to arrive at the correct conclusion that the Eagles is doing some non-righteous shit to Donovan McNabb right now. Of course, this is largely an issue of loyalty and other such values, so it fits squarely in Stevie A’s rather narrow wheelhouse of faux-moral outrage. But since he’s right this time its real moral outrage.
I'm just a gangsta I suppose...
Of course, I’d like to see a little more appeal to rationality, like pointing out the fact that D-Mac gives the Eagles the best chance to win a Super Bowl for the next 3 seasons at least. But you don’t look a gift Stephen A. Smith in the mouth I guess. It’s also probably a good thing this was communicated to me in print. I think if I heard him say this on TV or over the radio with every syllable of every word unnecessarily emphasized in a completely transparent attempt to maintain street cred with his “keep it real” shtick, I might immediately demand that D-Mac be strung up in town square.

The chair aint recognize your ass.
This does not brighten my mood. Despite my best efforts at self delusion, it’s looking less and less likely that Donovan McNabb will be an Eagle next season. This really shouldn’t be a surprise since Adam Schefter has been saying this for weeks, and I’m firmly convinced that guy is a self aware computer that is hacked into the consciousnesses of NFL GMs through some kind of defense mainframe. Man, Westbrook and D-mac in the same off-season. And I’m only going to have 4 months or so to turn myself into a Kevin Kolb, or worse, a Mike Vick fan. Jesus. Any room left on that Cleveland bandwagon?
UPDATE: Predictably, the comments on the above article from the Philadelphia intelligentsia (used as ironically as possible) are ridiculous. Here are a few choice tidbits, along with my rejoinders.
McNabb to St. Louis for their first round pick would be perfect, then the Eagles could take Hsu.
Thanks for the personnel consulting there, L. Ron Hubbard. And as soon as that deal’s done, Philly can resign Westbrook, jump in to a time machine, and go back to 1989 and trade him to the Raiders for Bo Jackson. You know, he literally cannot be tackled if he runs in zig zags.
if the Eagles could get a top 5 draft pick (obviously they’d have to deal up more than just McNabb) and if he was still there, I’d love to see them take Sam Bradford and let Vick start this season with Bradford behind him, then let Bradford start in 2011. Just a pipe dream, but hey, an Eagles fan can dream right? It’s all we have.
Facepalm.
I hate Donovan’s guts, but that doesn’t make me stupid. He still works very well in Ried’s system and has been to the superbowl and deep into the playoffs multiple times.
Then what other possible reason could you have for hating his guts? It’s not like the guy sits around and clubs baby seals while he gets blow jobs from 10 year old alter-boys on the steps of Independence Hall, bringing shame and disgrace to the franchise and the city. Mostly he’s just the least appreciated star in football history, and has been put in every conceivable difficult situation and handles it with previously unimaginable class and dignity every time.
Again … they get rid of McNabb and the QB who will lead them to a Super Bowl win is Kevin Kolb? That’s like saying Byron Leftwich is your QB of the future … just with less fat.
This is from a Giants fan. It’s a sad state of affairs when those degenerates are the voice of reason.
Eagles fans make it so hard to be an Eagles fan.
