The Party's Over

A friend wrote to me yesterday:

At 3 pm today the Donovan McNabb era ended in Philadelphia.

Benched at halftime, Kevin Kolb is now under center. Barring injury to Kolb in the next 5 games, it's hard to see how McNabb will ever play again as an Eagle.

And, it's nice to see how little changed. They came out throwing, throwing, throwing. A pass was dropped, one was bounced at a receiver's ankle. Then they punted.

Of course, the jackass who's calling the plays is still there. At least for another few games.

PS - the last time the Eagles were in Baltimore, '97, at old Memorial Stadium, I was there for a similar "big" moment. The dawn of the Bobby Hoying era. Game ended in a 10-10 tie, Burger, my high school friends and I nearly got into a brawl with fellow Eagles fans afterward - and 3-yr run of incredible ineptitude began. So it goes today.
