McNabb shipped to FedEx field, Washington D.C. Doc Halladay debuts in the same exact place. Did you know Philadelphia even has a Union? The soccer team that is. And Tiger Woods signs a deal with the Benjamin Franklin Museum to have his own physics exhibit.
Ok so the last one I completely made up, but considering the BUZZ in Philadelphia Sports right now, who would be surprised if that actually happened. The front pages are covered with Donovan McNabb, the back pages with Phillie red. The city and the media of Philadelphia are finally giving Donovan his due by questioning the move, but also praising the trade exclaiming that now is the time for the change to be made. If they don't want McNabb anymore, then I say good for Donovan. He deserves to be somewhere where he can be appreciated. Although it will be very much the same story all over again for McNabb in Washington. He will again have a below average receiving core and if anyone watched any Redskins' games last year you know they have some growing to do. I think if you're Donovan though, you take the fresh start over the status quo. And even if this new squad will be lucky to finish above .500, don't forget the fact that you will have at least 2 chances to stick it to your former mates. Rest assured, those dates will be marked in Eagle Green on Donovan McNabb's calendar.
In Baseball news the Phillies blew out the Nationals 11-1. Roy Halladay pitched 7 innings giving up just one run......YAWN. The only reason I say that is because that is what Roy does. We can get accustomed to seeing that line in Halladay's stat sheet. The Phils Offense provided all the fireworks with homeruns by Polanco and Howard. President Barack Obama threw out the first pitch and from there for the Nationals it was all down hill. After the game a reporter for the Nationals asked Ryan Zimmerman how he felt about today's performance. All I could do was fantasize about switching places with Zimmerman at that moment just so I could smirk at that reporter and say "Next Question!!!"
