DAVE: Now, you and Rohan are going to have to get rid of your matching Donovan McNabb Eagles jerseys.


Despite recent problems for the Steelers (i.e., their star quarterback is a 28-year-old frat boy), you have asked about the differences between the Steelers and the Eagles before. I can tell you this for certain based on the behavior of the Steelers in very similar situations. When a star player is entering the last year of their contract (like McNabb was) and the Steelers do not intend to re-sign him, then the team releases him with that one year left and lets him become a free agent and decide for himself for whom he will next play. The Steelers don't trade players (especially stars) to other teams.

And they don't make the biggest trade in the team's history the night before the Phillies' Opening Day. Not cool at all.

FOCKER: agreed. they're a JOKE. and the best part is, i was reading in the paper this morning, that they said they considered donovan's "feelings" about where he wanted to go. so, we have dawkins, westbrook, and mcnabb gone: the only players on that team with any class or heart. i swear, rohan is closer than ever to becoming a steelers fan.
