McNABB TO RETIRE?

Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is contemplating retirement, a source close to McNabb tells us.

Per the source, McNabb has grown weary of rehabbing the ACL that he tore last season, and he has decided that he has had enough.

"He always gets hurt," said the source.  "And he thinks that it's just going to happen again.  So why bother spending all the time and effort getting healthy?"

McNabb has missed extensive time over the past several years with a broken ankle, a hernia, and the ACL tear.

The primary in-house options for the Eagles to replace him would be A.J. Feeley and Kelly Holcomb.  Holcomb was acquired a few days ago in a trade with the Bills.  They also could bring in a proven veteran, such as Jeff George.

April 1 is funney

BILL SAMPY, WR

I look at these Eagles wide receivers and I think the position is virtually filled. Kevin Curtis is going to make it. Same with Reggie Brown and Greg Lewis and Jason Avant and Baskett. Am I right? Or am I guilty of overlooking too many factors, or maybe overrating the talent?

Could be.

I know that the Eagles think a lot of Sampy and I know that he has been in the system for a year plus now and I know that he is in the off-season conditioning program and that he is going to push for a roster spot. He will offer competition. It may look like a long shot right now. I agree there. But Sampy has a little something in his game, a quickness, I think, and I want to see more from him in the spring and summer.

Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!

Mike Doss' name is coming back up.  Apparently, he's scheduled to visit this Wednesday.

I guess this offseason has caused Reid to soften up on people convicted of weapons charges.

It's only funny when a link isn't posted.  Or when someone labels the link with an excessively long title.

Hey Feva.....are you watching an old Eagles game or something? 

[QB Eagles]

Hey Sarge... My guess is that Dio saw the link just fine, but doesn't fancy himself the kind of guy who would lower himself into obtaining a TATE account.

[Sgt PSN]

Do you have to have an account now to read the boards?  It's been so long since I've last been over there that I don't remember if I was required to log in or not. 

[QB Eagles]

Yeah, it requires a login even just to read. Only reason I have an account over there.
