Remember last Sunday, when the Eagles improbably tied the Bengals? And not only that, but quarterback Donovan McNabb conceded that he didn't know an NFL game could end in a tie? Shocking, right?
I'll admit to being taken aback after hearing McNabb confess as much during the post-tie press conference, but I hardly think it's as big a deal as some people are making it out to be three days after the fact.
And it certainly has no bearing on some Philly fans wanting McNabb run out of town. It's sorta like John McCain going on Saturday Night Live two days before the election; sure, he was funny and less angry-robot-seeming, but at that point, everybody had already decided who they were voting for.
But I suppose it's always fun (and easy!) to paint athletes with the broad brush of stupidity. If nothing else, it requires much less work than being original. Oh, Al Gore, what hath you wrought?
Whatever, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger came to McNabb's defense during a Tuesday radio appearance:
