-I still haven’t gotten around to laying out my take on Donovan McNabb and his time as an Eagle, but, in the meantime, The Onion, as usual, has a hilarious take on it, with plenty of truth thrown in.
-And a note on another long-time Philly athlete that had his ups and downs: Pat Burrell. I turned on the Rays-Red Sox game this afternoon and Pat was batting. It was the first time I’d seen him at-bat since the ’08 World Series. Pat promptly lined a ball deep into left-field, hitting high up on the Green Monster in Fenway. Of course, the camera cut to him chugging his way around first base and I knew all too well what was coming next. He was out at second by five feet.
