A special week in Philadelphia, not only because of training camp under way but the Eagles are celebrating the retirement of a local legend, number 5 Donovan Mcnabb who will have his jersey retired by the Eagles against the Chiefs on Thursday Night Football, Week 3 of the regular season. Donovan had a very emotional speech at his press conference thanking his family of course and his teammates and what I love about what Brian Westbrook said about #5 is that no matter how hurt he was, he wasn't going to let you know and play to the best of his ability and that was what he was all about. I had the pleasure of watching Donovan growing up as a Eagle fan, although I came in to the Eagles community when Donovan was near the end of his reign in Philly, I would like to say on behalf of all the Eagles fans thank you for everything you did for the organization. Mcnabb holds every statistical record for the QB position on the Eagles and without a doubt, I believe he is the best Eagle QB of all time and a hall of famer. Its sad to see him go out without the big one but the winning he brought to Philly will always be appreciated, no matter how much the fans boo you, you know they appreciated everything.
