ESPN 950 in Philly announced today that Mike Missanelli will host an event, on April 14, called the "Great Donovan Debate." At the event, to be broadcast at a local bar and broadcast live on the air, Mikey Miss and a group of NFL experts will debate the value of the Eagles QB, much the way Lincoln and Douglas debated the value of slavery.
The Great Donovan Debate is not to be confused with The Great Eagles Debate, another bar-set sports-radio debate, among WIP personalities, that was held last year with a second edition soon to come. Last year's edition, in keeping with daily WIP custom, featured Howard Eskin arguing in favor of the Eagles and (literally) every other host on the station arguing against them.
I know I'm in the minority, but if you ask me Philly having a debate about the quality of McNabb as a quarterback would be like if New Jersey had a debate about the quality of Bruce Springsteen as a rock star.
