Super Bowl 39, Revisited - Part II


Click here for an interesting interview with Donovan McNabb on Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN in New York. (If you've never listened, this is what real sports talk radio should be.)

Anyhow, you'll find Donovan's reasoning for the poor clock management during the last five minutes of the Super Bowl pretty curious. He explains part of the reasoning they moved so slow was because they didn't know how long T.O. could go and he didn't want to come out of the game. He also explained that he never puked and the Birds offensive play calling was very deliberate to make sure they had the right personnel packages on the field.

Whatever, dude...I'm not buying it. He should have shut up after his marvelous job with the press yesterday and came home. Plus, you can also hear some of the bitterness he still harbors towards the press and the fans to some extent.
Oh well. We did have one happy day in Eagles land.

I'm sure Andy & Co. back here in Philly had prompted Donovan on how to handle the subject of Super Bowl 39. He was probably handed what to say long ago. It's just that we never heard it because the organization never wanted him to face the Philly media about the topic.

I guess it's OK for him to answer the question to the NY people, but not to the sharks here in Philly.

God forbid he addresses the question that every one of the Neanderthal Philadelphia fans has been wondering about for two years.

I heard the interview yesterday, and it wasn't believable at all.
