So that was nice, wasn't it? After a week of nothing but controversy, and worries about whether Donovan McNabb could still play quarterback in the NFL- yesterday happens. A 56-21 victory over Detroit, in which the quarterback completed 21 of 26 passes for 381 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, thereby saving both the Eagles and my fantasy team from 0-3 starts.
And even more bizarrely, the Eagles did it all with several key defensive players injured, while wearing laughably hideously "throwback" uniforms that looked like they were borrowed either from the Swedish national hockey team, or The Ambiguously Gay Duo.
Donovan McNabb is still a very, very good NFL quarterback. I'm glad that's the topic of conversation this week, as opposed to all of last week's racial stuff. In the meantime, here's my North Star column on the matter.
