I am always amazed at the magical hold the Eagles hold over the Philly sports world.

We are now four days removed from the Super Bowl, a game the Eagles did not participate in.

The Flyers and Sixers are heading for the playoffs, albeit with a limp. They both lost to front-running Boston teams this week. The Phillies are headed to Clearwater, to start the defense of their World Series title.

But the talk remains about the Eagles. And Donovan McNabb.

It did not go unnoticed that the final drive by the Steelers that sealed their sixth Super Bowl championship bore a remarkable similarity to the situation the Eagles found themselves in at the end of the NFC championship game against Arizona.

Of course, Ben Roethlisberger rallied the Steelers and led them to a come-from-behind win. Donovan McNabb did not.

It’s really that simple. And we will be talking about it until the Birds report to Lehigh in late July.
