Ever since Donovan McNabb signed up for his recent pay raise, he's talked about focusing on the coming two-year window.That doesn't mean McNabb plans to retire after his current deal is up.
"I've always said that I would like to retire here, but that's not going to be in two years," McNabb said. "My main focus, as well as coach's, is to focus on what we have to do in these next two years. And we feel like, with the guys we have in this locker room, we can get the job done."
Talk like this and McNabb's contract terms create the feeling that the McNabb/Reid era is gearing up for one final championship push together. McNabb will be 35 when his deal is up.
The Eagles have done their best to keep McNabb happy, adding offensive pieces at wide receiver (Jeremy Maclin), running back (LeSean McCoy), and tackle (Jason Peters, Stacy Andrews).
McNabb sounds optimistic about the team and appears to welcome the pressure of being one of the favorites in a wide open NFC.
"You know, when you get so close six times -- one time to be in the Super Bowl -- you feel like it's going to happen," McNabb said. "When is it going to happen? Well, hopefully in these next two years."
One thing you can always count on McNabb for:
He will always play his worst when his best is called for and needed.
Just stay out of hotel romms with 20 year old strippers and it might happen.
Did he throw up before he made these comments?
And plans to fail in the playoffs.
Much like that franchise
And that city.
Dear Gregg,
Donovan McNabb said that the day his contract was restructured on 6/11/09. That's OVER a month ago. It was reported on NFLN, ESPN, and probably on CNN, CBS, FOX, and oh hell -- probably even C-SPAN.
Your timely reporting is always appreciated.
Your friend,
Justin.
Why is it when I think of the Eagles and Mrs McNabb (as in miss the super Bowl) this comes to mind?

McNabb should just ask Jim Kelly what it feels like to be close to Ring. Nothing is ever guarenteed on the NFL.
This is the year it all comes together. Philly wins it all this year...
With Mcnabb at the controls - with the pressure on and a crucial, pivitol play has to be made by him.....I think he's a choke artist. He does have some good skills but when the chips are down I don't want McNabb steering the ship. Sign him up long term Eagles and you'll be second place forever - just you always have been
The Eagirls have never won a damn thing. worst football franchise in the history of the NFL.
Keep going McNabb, It took Elway 15 years to break through as well. Just when you don't think,.... it happens.
He's turning into Eric Lindros, just without the toughness.
I didn't know Cowboy fans could type...
They will win the Super Bowl with McNabb at rh helm. How can you question his toughness, he threw for over 300 yards and 3 TD'S against the Cardinals just 3 years ago. Eagle are 3rd in wins this decade. He will win his Super Bowl and once retired, he will be enshrined in Canton.
THE EAGLES HAVE DONE THEIR BEST TO KEEP McFLABB HAPPY, hahahaha thats a laugher... MACLIN, McCoy ???? who the hell are they? that front office is a total joke...... jeffie (dont spend a dime) lurie really borke the bank there ..... for real, what will kill these losers the most will be the departure of the beloved dawkins and the absence of jim johnson... now you will see what fat ass andy feed is really worth! he'll be coachin in detroit next year, after a 6 -10 season!
