Here's my bonafides;
Born outside Philly
Early memory, Dad's ticket stubs for Eagles games
Shook hands with Pete Retzlaff at peewee football banquet
Think "Concrete" Charley was the last REAL football player
After SB XV swore if the Eagles make it I'm there.
Made it to Jax, was in the sections Donavan turned to when he allegedly hurled. Did not see ANY chunks!
SO, biggest shock I could have experienced, and I've been
watching this unfold since the end of last season, would have been to allow him / trade him to the 'boys. Second, the Skins. No fuggin' way!!! This is unreal, I feel I'm in an alternate universe.
I really don't get it. He must have burned some bridge, somewhere, for management to feel so desperate to rid themselves of him that they would trade him for a 2nd and a maybe, to the FUGGIN' SKINS! They haven't made this bad of a deal since they sent Sonny Jurgenson for Norm Snead, again, to the FUGGIN' SKINS!
Okay,
come on Man City! I swear, if you make it to the Champions League final, I'll be there!

It's primarily a financial consideration. After the 2010 season his contract is up and he would be a free agent, and if they could not resign him, they don't get anything in return, so why not get what you can now?
Given what the are paying their other 2 quarterbacks on the roster besides McNabb, they had to get rid of one of them.

From what I read yesterday, Redskin land is the ONLY place he would have agreed to go.
As an upcoming free agent with over five (I think it's 5) years service in the NFL, he had the right to approve and agree with where the Eagles wanted to trade him.
McNabb refused to talk to any other teams and told Eagle's management it was DC or nowhere. Mike Shanahan is the new incoming coach of the Redskins and that might have been part of McNabb's decision. I dunno.
The Eagles want to get their other QB ready for game time and seemed to think it would not be to their benefit to have him hanging around.

I've read all the sub-plots, cap-theories, Andy-Dmac bondage speculation, and I get all of it.
I know it is a business.
But, the Skins?
In the 60's to the 80's, and for me, perhaps, to this day, they are our bitterest rival. Now, the 'boys, sure, especially in the last 10 years of Jerry (and the incompetent Snyder on the other side). I respect Andy more now, for sticking up for Donavan, that I have in a while (since his kids went south). The only obvious winner in this trade, at first blush, is Donavan. Free of the philly boo-birds, able to renegotiate early with a fat franchise, and total familiarity with the 'skins.
Still...I saw a picture today of a 'skins jersey with his name and number, I shuddered. I like him. I think he has been a stand-up guy for the city, and the team.
I don't think he is a true "leader", for some reason, it seems to me, he has never been able to shape the team, on the field or the locker room, into being "his" team.
Still, the best to ever wear the jersey, better than Van Brocklin, Randall Cunningham, or even Jaws.
I think on a biz basis current management did not do too well. They seemed to have either overplayed there hand early, costing them possibilities and value, or the perception in the league is that #5 has slipped too far (app. 20th in QB stats towards end of '09 season) to risk much on. So, the most interesting situation moving forward is Vick. He's saying all the right things now, but what do Banner/Howie have in mind for him? Couple more mid tier draft picks? I think at this point they have the most, relatively, in the NFL. They clearly are going beyond reloading, they are definitely in the rebuild mode.
Fly, Eagles, Fly.
Oh,
and c'mon Man City!

Sunday (USA Time) should be a great final round at the Masters 
I hope Fred Couples can stay in the hunt, P Mick made a sweeeet surge and is just 1 behind, then you have Tiger in striking distance...I am looking forward to watching it on my patio, with some burgers on the grill and a few cold beers in hand

Tim Tebow went in the 1st round to Denver...BTW, 3 of the first 4 pics were from Oklahoma, shout out to the big Okie in the house, you know who you are 
Anyway, that guy is an uber Christian and his "awe shucks, god bless, I will be the first one in and last one out" rhetoric is pretty lame, but that guy is a winner and I would bet anything that he is only a "positive" addition to any team..
with that said, and as a Dawg fan I would have liked to have seen his ACL pop like a balloon in college LOL! (not really)
But it is ironic that he will be handing the ball off to Knowshon Moreno, the most decorated back from UGA since Hershel....that includes Hall of Famer T Davis!
On a totally different angle, I will bet 100 bucks that the NY Jets will be major contenders this year

Let Kobe score. He will get his. But if you hold down the rest of the team, you have a chance to beat him. Alvin Gentry has used this strategy very well (at least in Phoenix).
Should be a good one tonight in the Valley of Los Suns.
