P.S. - I grew up right outside of Philly, so please don't call me a Washington Nationals fan. That is borderline offensive and most certainly beyond demeaning.

I didnt really call you a Nats fan, I was just throwing them in with the other group of whiners that included you and McNabb. All the Nats fans are crying over Philly fans over taking their stadium for Opening Day. Its quite funny.

Sorry, but anyone with a brain and has a grasp of football knowledge understands that Norm Van Brocklin was by far the best QB to suit up for the Eagles. He's also actually won the Eagles a championship. Just because Brocklin only played for the Eagles for 3 years.. and hasnt played for the eagles in 49 years.. doesnt make DMac better.

and best Player over all!?!? yeah McNabb is just so much better than Reggie White, Sonny Jurgensen, Jerome Brown, Seth Joyner, Eric Allen, Wilbert Montgomery, Chuck Bednarik, Brian Dawkins, STEVE VAN BUREN, Tommy McDonald, Mike Quick, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Shoot.. even Shawn Andrews (when mentally healthy) and T.O (as much as it pains me to say) are better football players than McNabb.

McNabb wouldnt even make the top 10 finalist list when voting on the Best Eagle of all time.

Seriously, you're insane. Shawn Andrews? Mike Quick? Wilbert freaking Montgomery? Oh God, make it stop.

Look, I said the Eagles fleeced the Redskins, and they clearly did. That doesn't make Donovan's tenure as an Eagle any less meaningful.

I think it's fantastic that every time there's a Mets, Red Sox, or Phillies game at Nationals Park that Nats fans compromise something like 20 percent of the crowd. Shoot, I don't even know if there really are any Nationals "fans" in DC anyway, it's such a transient place. It's no different - to a lesser extent now that the Caps are actually good - than the eleventy billion fans of other team that show up for a Caps game against the Pens, Flyers, or Red Wings.

Hey you said best player, not best career. I'll give you that McNabb's Eagles career is as good or better than any Philly player. He is not nearly the best player they have had though.

In 2006 and 2007, the best player on the Philadelphia Eagles was Shawn Andrews.. so there you go. If the Eagles had dispursed after the 2005, 2006, or 2007 season, and they held a draft for the other teams to pick up the Eagles players, Andrews would have been the #1 pick in the draft.

It is such a shame he has mental problems and back problems, he could have been the Eagles best O-line man ever with the talent he had.

T.O, unfortunatly, is an all time great WR - or at least can be mentioned in those discussions. Anybody who would mention McNabb in the same sentence as "all time great" would have had to have eaten the wrong mushrooms first.

I will not concede that McNabb was better than Van Brocklin. 600,000 votes & probably 100,000 of them had even heard of Van Brocklin.

Also, 10 players on that list were better than McNabb.

And remember, Lentenor or whatever his name is was voted in the top 10 for Derby Contenders on that Kentucky Derby website.

AND the majority of the country voted for Obama.

Just because you can vote, doesnt mean that you are smart.

we can play the copy and paste game if you want
