Donovan McNabb on cover of Sports Illustrated
Great pick of the Eagles Quarterback running with the ball on the cover with "What a Rush" (get it) in large letters emblazoned across the front. As an Eagle Fan wary of the SI cover jinx I cringed, however in 1960, one week before the Eagles won the NFL Championship, Norm Van Brocklin was on the cover. This will be the first time an Eagle has been on the SI Cover since Randall Cunningham in October 92.

GO EAGLES!

3. Why the hell would I do that?

This is a political site. right? It's all about (over) reacting to the title and first line or two and shooting your mouth off wether you know anything about the topic or not, right?

Sheese!






(OK. So I blew it. Just don't tell anybody, OK?)

4. Spoken like a true Judge Smales
Although I enjoy the magazine (27 year subscriber), I cringe each week to see who is on the cover. I encourage all Panther fans to bring the magazine to the Linc on Sunday. Maybe they could get Eagles fans to autograph it for them.

5. I'm SO for the Eagles for the MAIN
reason of the whole Limbaugh incident. I hope that McNabb breaks records never known in the history of the sport. God...help me with the hatred I feel for Limbaugh (yes, I need to go back to therapy)!

8. Yep, put your money on Carolina!
Agree with the other posters. The SI Jinx is something I would not bet against. Eagles better team; but let's see what happens!
