This news is a bit old, but you're probably still so doped up on tryptophan at the moment that you won't know the difference. Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice words for Eagles fans following Philly's big Thanksgiving Day rout of the Cardinals. During the NFL Network's postgame interview with Donovan McNabb, Prime Time took exception to what he deemd to be fairweather treatment of the QB by the Philadelphia faithful. Seems some fans stuck around for the interview to cheer their beleaguered star's four touchdown performance, but Sanders was having none of it:

Obviously, I'm not happy about how things in Iggle-ville right now, but given my state of euphoria after a Phillies championship it's tough to get too angry about the dumbfounding dipshittery that has crippled this football team this year. Granted, the recent revelations about Donovan McNabb's complete lack of knowledge about the overtime rule are troubling, but really not that big of a deal. I'm a fan of Donovan and do think the Eagles are a better football team with him, even when he's taking out foot-long divots with his out-passes and vomiting in the huddle. After almost 10 years in the league, this is just a remarkable admission. Yesterday, McNabb joked about the incident,
calling himself a "trendsetter" for being honest about his ignorance, which isn't going to go over too well in Philadelphia. (You can't blame the guy for trying to lighten the mood.)
McNabb updated his

The more I hear about it, the more convinced I am that this Eagles-Bengals tie quote is going to be Donovan McNabb's legacy; like Chris Webber's time out with none remaining, or the ground ball through Buckner's wickets. I'm not saying that's fair, it's just the way it's gonna be. Because when videos like this pop up less than 24 hours after McNabb said he didn't know there were ties in the NFL, well, it goes to show that the situation has just taken on a life of its own.

OK it's true, Donovan McNabb had no idea that there was such a thing as a tie in the NFL (see video below). But let's not pick on him; it seems that there were several members of the Eagles and Bengals who were unaware of the rule, as unbelievable as that might sound. In what will go down in my household as a tragic waste of some very nice avocado dip, the teams stumbled to a 13-all deadlock on Sunday, the first time since 2002 that NFL teams will use two dashes when listing their records. Ha. Just like soccer.

The 2004 season in which Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens teamed up to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl since 1980 was one of the greatest seasons my maligned city has seen in decades. Terrell Owns was a huge part of that and was beloved for it … before his real lunacy started to shine through. Well it’s been three years and T.O.’s crazy is back. Again. With his most recent comments on how Donovan was jealous of T.O.’s limelight and how Terrell was happy to “share it,” Owens is writing some revisionist history.

NFL News and Notes
Shawne Merriman has a PCL tear in his left knee, now all that's left to determine is what he and the team plan on doing about it. At this point Merriman can get back on the field with his unstable joint, or he can opt for one of two surgical options. A partial reconstruction could get him back on the field this season, and a full reconstruction would put him out for the entire year. Considering that the Chargers don't really give a shit about Merriman's long-term health they are going to push him to return for the opener, but the linebacker should proceed with caution. His best bet is to get Norv Turner's opinion on the matter and then do the exact opposite of whatever that dumbfuck suggests.

On the whole, Philadelphia fans were awfully supportive of Donovan McNabb yesterday, and sheesh, why wouldn't they be? He threw four touchdowns and torched an undefeated team. (Well, Detroit, but still.) But this is Philadelphia: There are always a few grumpy holdouts.

Well, this was bound to happen. At the height of Iggles mania, Wilma McNabb, mother to Eagle's injured starting quarterback Donovan McNabb has posted her thoughts about all the excitement surrounding Jeff Garcia's ascension into the greats of Philadelphia folk hero-dom. (You know with Pat Ryan and Jeff Kemp). Wilma's thoughts:
It's kind of bitter sweet for me as my son, the quarterback sits out on injured reserved watching the game during his rehab. I polled my family too and they feel the same. We want our team to win and even go to the Superbowl and win it in Miami especially if they continue to play as they have. But oh oh, if they win the Superbowl without my son, what would be the real outcome with the fans? Will they crucify him? Maybe, then the trade talks would begin. Off season madness, worse than last year's fiasco. But guess what, I guess I'll have to take the beating if it comes. I would have to hope that scenario of the madness would not happen or be that bad. Well let's wait and see. Bitter sweet.

Amazingly, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb did this
before Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant kicked a 62-yard field goal — with room to spare! — to beat his team yesterday.
