Hell hath no fury like a McNabb scorned

No matter what goes down in the following minutes or days or however long it takes to trade Donovan McNabb, the city of Philadelphia loses.

I think even the most staunch anti-McNabb-ites have to admit that the team takes a hit with Kevin Kolb at QB and we all know wherever McNabb goes, he’ll have a Philadelphia-sized chip on his shoulder and a lot to prove.

That said, I don’t feel a single shred of sorrow for the man, since it’s times like these when athletes actually earn their money. Unless the man’s life is in danger, I don’t think we need Stephen A. Smith throwing on his Handiman suit defending him. Defend Jackie Robinson or even Barry Bonds to some extent, but if McNabb is going to get miffed over the things people have been saying about him over the years, then he should go scrub toilets for a living in relative silence. I’m sure he’s fine right where he is though.

Things are pretty broken with the Eagles, but shipping McNabb out right now isn’t the answer. It’s the emotional answer to a lot of fed up Eagles fans, but I think the playcalling is more to blame than Don-Don.

Either way, the Mac-Nabb haters in the area are about to get their wish any moment now. But unless you’re ready to see him lift up that Lombardi trophy in another jersey, I’d rethink all this talk about wanting him gone. Remember, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and that woman can probably still help the Eagles win more games at this point than the alternative.

Unheralded Florida QB prepared to hire public relations firm

In an effort to gain national exposure, little known University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has hired the infamous Bernstein Agency to handle his public image.

“Playing at an academic school like Florida, people haven’t had the opportunity to see what I can do on a football field,” Tebow said. “I’m not one of those guys who will pester everyone with over-the-top religious propaganda. All I’m asking for is a chance.”

Josh Bernstein, chairman of the Bernstein Agency, has launched an aggressive campaign to deliver Tim Tebow to the American public.

“It’s no fault of Tim’s that no one knows him,” said Bernstein. “He deserves the attention other players of his caliber get, and it’s my aim to have him in at least some households in America.”

One thing is for sure, devout college football fans are eager to see Tim Tebow play.

Who wouldn’t pay to see Bonds play again?

Barry Bonds’ agent is saying he’s all but done since he’s been out of baseball for two years without a contract offer, but how crazy would it be to see Bonds play right now?

I’ve been anti-Bonds and anti-roids for a while now, but even I’m starting to realize that Bonds wasn’t just among a select group of guys that made the decision to cheat. If anything, Bonds got a late jump on his peers if the suspicions are right that he started juicing after the 1998 Home Run Chase. At this point in the game, if you’re anti-Bonds, you might as well be anti-MLB for the same reasons.

There’s no real reason to deny him an opportunity to play given that so many of the other suspected and even admitted roid-users have kept their jobs. I’m not gonna get all Stephen A. Smith on you and act like Bonds is owed something or needs a pity party because the man made a decision and is dealing with the consequences, but I’d still love to see him back in the game right now.

There are two reasons why I’m moved to lead the charge to get him back in the game: 1) Steroids or no, he was the greatest baseball player ever. Period. And 2) I just realized he’s 45 and would love to see what he looks like at the plate after a two-year layoff.

I’m positive it wouldn’t take more than $800,000 to sign this guy and it’s almost guaranteed that people would flock to the stadium to see the greatest baseball player of all time step into the box after sitting at home for two years. I’d put it up there with Tyson or Ali returning to the ring and as much press as Favre coming back drew, could you imagine how nuts a Bonds comeback would be in the sports world in 2010?

Most of what would make his signing with a team this year more exciting than the past two years…is that he hasn’t played in two years. We pretty much knew what he would have had coming back in 2008, and even at his age, taking a year off wouldn’t have been that awful. But I think two years is pretty much the cutoff and his agent is right to say it’s now or never.

Even if he were to come back, it’s probably out of the question for him to return to National League — unless he’s brought on in a Jim Thome or Jason Giambi role of the power bat off the bench (and nothing else) for the entire year — but there are a ton of struggling clubs that could use the attendance boost Bonds would bring.

I refuse to believe that Barry Bonds is still more hated among baseball fans than Vick is among football fans and people have all but moved on with the Vick hate already. After seeing how the Vick experiment has gone so far, I’d say a team like the Athletics are fools for not offering Bonds a minimum deal. For $800,000 or less, you’d get asses in the seats for the first time in that town since before the ’94 strike.

I know I’d probably hate the guy if I met him, but there are few people on this planet that I would stop everything I’m doing to watch play a sport and Barry Lamar Bonds easily tops that list.
