First, let me say that I did enjoy this year's Super Bowl. It was wrought with tough competition, impecable game plans, superb athletes and of course, no wardrobe malfunctions.
I was unfortunately a little wiped out after my weekend trip up to Atlantic City, where Texas Hold 'Em, booze, dueling pianos, and Rachel, our bartender, kept us up all night. I got back just in time to make my famous chili for our little party, and then our festivities began.
The first quarter was very much a battle of defense as the score at the end of the quarter showed - 0 to 0. However, as the game wore on, what was most noticeable was the lack of confidence displayed in Donovan McNabb's play. It wasn't just a lack of confidence, it looked like Donovan was about to wet the bed. His feet never got settled the entire game. His hips were never underneath him when he threw the ball, thus his wounded ducks turned pickles that were very costly.
Donovan is a great playmaker, but will never be a great quarterback until he isn't THE playmaker. Tom Brady knows how to rally his playmakers and lead them. That is why he now has three rings. Well, having a sick defense and Bill Belichick can't hurt either. But, the kid is good. Now, I would say he is great. Donovan, well, he's a helluva athlete, but is still lacking in the QB department.
Better luck next year, Eagles.
