When the Eagles first signed Jeff Garcia as a back-up quarterback, my question was “why.”
After seeing him play filling in for Donovan McNaab Sunday, I still have the same question.

Now that Donovan McNaab’s season is over, I think it’s time for him to consider retirement or, at very least, a change of location.
McNaab was a solid starter for the Eagles for several years. However, I credit that to his mobility and to a solid defense.
After two straight season-ending …

When the Packers traded last year’s star, Samkon Gado for Vernand Morency, my first thought was “who.” But, after seeing him play Monday night, I do think they got the better end of that trade.
Gado has potential to be a star in the right system. However, during preseason and …

The Miami Dolphins today named Joey Harrington their starter over former starter Dante Culpepper. I agree with this decision.

When the Packers decided to replace their all-time leading scorer with a kicker that had only attempted one field goal in the NFL and missed I admit I was skeptical.
