Eagles’ Janitor informs Donovan McNabb he’s starting
 |
Donovan McNabb turned 32 today, and it seems the BDay celebrations had him relaxed – he looked looser than we’ve seen him in a long time. McNabb started the presser with a joke on the big deal everyone was making over the fact that Coach Reid didn’t personally inform 5 he’d be on the sidelines for the second half:
“I was told [I'd be starting] by the janitor. Me and him have a pretty good relationship around here. It was a pretty good conversation we had.”
It wasn’t his only quote. On his struggles:
I know I will. I think the rest of the guys know that as well. You look at things that have happened, they are kind of uncharacteristic for me. I know that I have to battle through that, playing the position. Not everyone plays a perfect season.
You are a competitor. No different than basketball or baseball. If you’re a little off you keep shooting. That’s the way I feel about it.
On if his relationship with Reid can be the same:
I think it can … The relationship is where it was and where it should be. In asking me that question, you would have to ask Andy that same question.
On getting pulled:
As a competitor you wouldn’t take yourself out,” he said. “I was expecting to go out there in the second half against Baltimore. It’s 10-7, the game is not out of reach … It was a decision that was made by Andy. I went along with it and was trying to root on my team.
