A More Public McNabb

The Donovan McNabb public outreach campaign continues with the unveiling of his new blog here. Great, just what Eagleseye needs, more blog completion and from someone with an inside the huddle perspective (literally). Very interesting, though unsurprising development, given McNabb’s moves over the past six months with respect to circumventing the official Eagles PR channels. Clearly this has been in the works for a while, and a fair amount of effort has gone into it if the first few entries  - with videos (!) -  from “McNabb camp” where he works with his receivers in Arizona are any indication. Unfortunately, the meager paragraphs suggest not a lot of depth or insight (“I invited the boys over for some food and to swim”) – certainly not like the voluble 38 pitches, but that may change as training camp and the season get underway. And the choice of hosting it on Yardbarker.com I find strange. Why not set up your own website/blog at donovanmcnabb.com? Why be just one of thousands of yardbarker bloggers? Is this some sort of trial balloon? Will he move over to his own domain if he likes it? Is he even writing these entries (actually, I find it hard to believe someone is currently ghost writing what has been written so far.) Stay tuned.
