Why I am glad McNabb is gone, details
It’s funny, since McNabb has been traded I have been asked repeatedly by non-Eagles fans about it. Pretty much 100% of them think it was a stupid move since McNabb had such a strong overall winning record. However when I talk to Eagles fans, more of them than not are ok with McNabb wearing maroon and gold this year. Why do you think this is?
Well I was listening to WIP last week and I heard one of the hosts say the reason most fans are ok with McNabb leaving is simple. He didn’t dislike losing enough. Despite leading the Eagles to many victories it was the losses, and specifically McNabb’s reaction to them which stuck in many Eagle’s fans craws the most. In the games that hurt the most which almost all included a dreadful performance by McNabb, he didn’t seem all that bothered by it. “Yea we lost but overall we had a good season” was a common theme that rolled from his mouth far too often.
Yes we want a QB that wins but almost as important is we want one that gets as pissed off as we do when the Eagles lose. That is why the fans immediately took to Jeff Garcia during his brief stint here. That skinny little runt wanted to win in the worst way and he showed it on every play. Philly fans love that. Maybe that is why we never really loved McNabb.
Jeremy emailed me with various details he said I left out of my post recounting the weekend. I explained to him that I am mentally unable to recall each and every detail, nor do I have the time to spend hours upon hours constructing a blog entry.
His additions / corrections were as follows:
1) Mandy ordered a Large pizza [which is considerably bigger than their
medium) but Cannoli made the mistake and did medium. Despite this, one
slice remained at end of dinner, mostly because everyone was too polite
to eat it.
Connor was in the car with me when you arrived, not playing outside with
Mandy. You may have missed this as you were busy in the van when I
pulled up.
regarding the jump, the ring height and grab is obv a lot easier for
you.. between my shorter legs and much shorter non gorilla arms, i
couldn’t get into a full jump position like you could. it actually
didn’t bother me that much though. My vert has lost a few inches from
it’s prime to be honest
