Great words from McNabb

Donovan McNabb posted his latest blog today on Yardbarker.com and I have to tell you, I have been following all of his activity on the site, but nothing he has written before comes close to this.

It really is a classy piece of writing, and it really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

Speaking of the Eagles, fans might be happy to know that I'm in Arizona working out with Brian Dawkins. Next week some other players will come out and we'll work together for a few days before training camp opens. I'm feeling great, the shoulder is fine, and I can't wait to get started this season.

McNabb seems genuinely excited about the new season. He also mentioned some reasons for optimism surrounding all Philadelphia sports. But the best line was this little gem: 

He proved that no matter how big and strong you look, you can't measure the heart on someone from Philly.

He also mentioned something that we would love to see dearly:

If (the Philadelphia Soul) play that well next week they will be able to set the route for the "Championship Parade in Philadelphia" in case there has been some changes in the past 25 years! With the promise shown by the Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, and yes, the Eagles, hopefully that route will start getting used more often. 

Donovan has really endured huge amounts of unfair criticism. But he has never used it as an excuse for anything. Go ahead and read the post and let's all feel good about life, Philly and most of all, the Eagles. I just love the atmosphere that McNabb creates with this blog. I'm incredibly optimistic about the season the greatest QB this team has ever had will experience, as well as the team that he leads.
