But do you really need prayer before taking this exam? Sounds like overkill, people can get annoyed with that kind of stuff.

There could have been someone else in the room that may have wanted to do so. Time will only tell about who has the better career and life, him or the ass who said stfu, I'm betting against the latter.

Eagles Entertaining Offers for McNabb...
From Foxsports...
Eagles coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that the team is entertaining offers for all three of its quarterbacks, including starter Donovan McNabb, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Reid discussed the situation during a breakfast meeting with reporters at the NFL owners' meetings in Orlando, Fla., The Inquirer reported.
Reid reiterated that McNabb was his starter, Kevin Kolb the backup and Michael Vick the No. 3 QB but indicated any of them could be dealt. The Eagles have already received feelers.
"We'll go back and look through those ... away from this situation here," Reid said. "There's nothing right now that I'd jump up and down about. But right now there's interest."
The Inquirer reported later Wednesday, citing an unidentified source, that McNabb wants to stay in Philly.
Reid said the Eagles have a price tag in mind for each of the quarterbacks.
"I'm keeping my ears open," Reid told the paper.
McNabb threw for 3,553 yards with 22 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 14 games last year, his 11th in the NFL. He has played all 16 games in just two of the last eight seasons.
Reid also said he'll entertain offers for disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown, who had a career-high five interceptions in 2009.

Vikings tops on McNabb's trade wish list
Called it back in Jan or Feb. 
Can't say that I blame him for wanting to come here...

After Andy Reid announced Wednesday that the Eagles were "entertaining offers" for all three of their quarterbacks, McNabb reiterated that he wants to remain in Philadelphia. But if the team were to ship its franchise quarterback elsewhere, the Vikings would be his first choice, according to sources close to the situation.

Interesting. Interesting.
Just when I thought we were purging the garbage from the team (...was waiting for Portis to be cut).
Welcome, Donovan, to the worst franchise in professional sports.

They won't Portis because of his contract, he's to make under 1 million for playing but will make millions more with his contract. A Jake Delhomme situation, though if Parker or Johnson pull away maybe the might.
The Redskins will win more games this year with McNabb, though I don't like that he'll be here.

Washington will probably try to send Jason Campbell to Oakland or Buffalo to recoup the 2nd round pick or get a 3rd rounder....
They should then pick up 2 offensive linemen in the draft. They should consider signing Flozell Adams as a stop-gap RT and drafting Okung as the LT.

The funniest thing was the Raiders fans on Facebook going "McNabb to the Raiders?!?!" a week or so ago 
my only reaction was: band-aid on a gunshot wound.

The worst franchise title is probably a toss-up between the Raiders and the Redskins. Though I have yet to hear one good thing from recent former Raiders players. Warren Sapp said the environment is terrible and he cockblocked the Raiders from signing a few players, and when questioned on NFL Network if he was looking into the FA market, Nnamdi uncomfortably said he was happy with the Raiders and feels like they just need a little rebuilding to be good 
The Raiders 1st draft pick will be another guy who is 6'2 or taller and has a sub 4.4 40-yd dash.

Someone wrote that the Skins dangled Haynesworth and Landry for McNabb and the Iggles said no thanks. 
I bet the Skins try to trade Haynesworth during the draft and eat some of his contract.

I actually liked that move. Odds are he gets cut in the preseason, but anything that tells Clinton Portis that he's a piece of shit and should be looking over his shoulder is a good thing. I wish they'd sign Curtis Enis and Lawrence Phillips. That's would send Portis the right message.

Not sure what to make of McNabb trade. I've always been a fan and his jersey is the only Eagles jersey I ever owned. First response was like a blow to the gut and a loss in the family but the more I think about it the more logical it seems except that he would go to a division rival. Birds WERE offered Haynesworth but he is due a 21 million bonus shortly and they wanted no part of it. I guess all we can do is wait and see if Kolb is as ready as they say he is. If not, at least Vick has the potential to be a potent backup.

The Skins are a talent black hole, where the whole is always less than the sum of the parts. I'm sorry for McNabb but I seriously doubt this will come back to haunt the Eagles at all.

Considering what the Eagles got for him and still shipped him off to a team within their own division, it's pretty obvious the Vikings could have gotten him if they thought he was worth the 42nd pick in this years draft or the several million he's owed.If we would have bothered to make any offer, I'm pretty sure the Eagles would've take it...

But, hey...whatever. I can take glee in knowing your team is not any closer to the SB as mine.

However, if you're saying your Bears chances of making the Super Bowl are better than the Vikings, well, you're just plain wrong.

Any chops of McNabb in a Redskins uniform yet? 
I want to screw with a co-worker who's a HUGE Iggles fan.
This definitely changes the landscape in the NFC East. The Eagles are a huge question mark now, Redskins could be dangerous (I didn't say "good") with the Shanahan brain-trust and McNabb's experience, and the Giants and Cowboys have been flying under the radar. I think it all portends a good year for the Cowboys.

Sucks for McNabb though. The Eagles offense was becoming pretty explosive. The Redskins have... uhh, Cooley and the lesser Moss. I think McNabb's in good hands with Shanarat, better than any other 2-season coach the Skins can scrounge up at least. Now he's joining a team that seems like its in a perpetual state of rebuilding
