Links: McNabb Still the Starter

News and Links for November 25, 2008…

Donovan McNabb will be the starting quarterback for the Eagles against the Cardinals on Thursday night. Who would have thought that without an injury, this would be news today?

LenDale White is a true team player. Said White about Tennessee’s first loss, “I have been over it. It is a game, so what? You would like to win it, but it is one game, so what? … I only played three plays so I really couldn’t tell you what happened, I don’t really know, I wasn’t paying attention, I didn’t care really.” LenDale White and Vince Young — the foundation of any good NFL team.

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt called baseball writers “miserable fat curmudgeons. You know the kind. The kind who think blogs are evil and don’t leave the press tent and are angry and bitter men.” Having spent many a day in an MLB press box, I have to say he is completely right. Other than Pedro Gomez and Nick Piecoro (both quality, non-fat people), he’s pretty much nailed every MLB beat guy I worked with in my years in the press box. Having said that — NHL, NBA, NFL and college beat writers were all normal people. It’s just something about covering baseball for a living I suppose.

If this were the NFL, Deweycheatumnhowe would be listed as doubtful for the Breeders Crown final this Saturday at the Meadowlands, as he recovers from some type of throat abscess. Dewey was doing better after the weekend, but will be run on Wednesday to determine if he’s good enough to run one more time in his career. A scratch would be such a terrible way for his career to end. As it stands now, he’s the 6-5 morning line favorite for the 3-year old colt trot. For the record, Somebeachsomewhere, Dewey’s pacing counterpart, is a 3-5 favorite in his career finale.
