Eagles will crash and burn this season
They may as well just jack it in now, not bother with training camps, pre-season and take the winter off - whatever they do will be wasted effort.
The reason? Donovan McNabb will be on the cover of Madden 2006 - history says he will be knocked out of the season early and the Eagles will have a poor year. We all know the trend: hxxp://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/8469385 'Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper posed on the cover of Madden NFL 02 and, sure enough, that season he threw a career-low 14 touchdowns and watched his head coach, Dennis Green, get fired. The next year, Rams running back Marshall Faulk landed on the cover and he underwent surgery on his left knee while recovering from surgery on his left hand -- all while he rushed for under 1,000 yards for the first time since 1996. The next year, Falcons quarterback Michael Vick turned into Madden's cover boy -- and he promptly broke his right leg, ending Atlanta's season before it began. Last year, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis graced the cover and fractured his wrist, forcing him out of Baltimore's regular-season finale and helping prevent his team from going to the playoffs.'

I hope he does go down. Then Mike McMahon will finally get a chance.

LOL! I always love that "Then Mike McMahon will get a chance" joke.
Oh wait...

Is this new news? I thought McNabb was announced as the cover boy weeks ago.

If they crash and burn no one will remember. Then in 2012 when they win the Super Bowl, no one will remember they crashed and burned in 2005. That is the way with football. There are always more years.
