Congrats to Donovan McNabb

I've been a fan of the New York football Giants since the 1960s and didn't like to see them lose yesterday, but I have to give Donovan McNabb and the Eagles credit for what they've accomplished this year. At one point in the season the Eagles were 5-5-1, McNabb was benched and almost run out of Philly, yet the team found a way to get back on track and now only need to beat the Arizona Cardinals in order to get to the Super Bowl. (Which will be no easy task--the Kurt Warner led Cardinals are playing inspired football right now.).

McNabb has taken lots of criticism over the years, but he will now be playing in his fifth championship game in his ten year career. Other A-list QBs might hold more records, but to get into the championship game half the time is, in my view, a much more telling sign of effectiveness.

Prediction: In an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl, the Steelers beat the Eagles 23-20 on a field goal in overtime.
