Donovan McNabb is going to the Super Bowl.

No, he didn’t buy a ticket. But he’s not playing, either. He’s talking.

McNabb was a guest analyst on ESPN last night. He will pop up tonight and Friday night as well. Tonight he also is planning to sit down with the Philly media. It’s expected that he could shed some light on what he wants in terms of a contract.

He’s also making it clear that he would not be opposed to a few more weapons in his arsenal. He didn’t come right out and say it – he never does – but it sounds like he’s again making a pitch for a true No. 1 stud wide receiver.

Hope he’s not holding his breath. I don’t think that’s real high on the “to-do” list of Joe Banner and Andy Reid.

In the meantime, as we shiver through bitter cold, snow, sleet, freezing rain and slush, it’s certainly encouraging to see our quarterback enjoying the sun in beautiful Tampa.

Of couse we’d be enjoying it even more if Donovan was in Eagles green, and not that blue suit he had on last night.

Maybe next year. That’s right, Donovan made it clear he expects to be back for another shot at that elusive “gold standard” gold ring.

Of course, I suppose that is subject to change once he has his infamous sit-down with the Eagles brass.
