Enough of the Overtime Rules Story Already. Let's Move On.

I've you've been reading my blog, you know that I'm generally a critic of the Philly sports media. They love to pounce on the city's teams, especially the Eagles, and ESPECIALLY Donovan McNabb. So, while it's natural for the media to be beating this year's underachieving team up, they've taken the story about Donovan McNabb not knowing the NFL's overtime rules a little too far--especially John Smallwood, who also wrote a piece this week about how it's time for Reid to go. Here's the McNabb story, and here's the Andy Reid story.

First of all, the rule is stupid. Play the game until someone wins, period. Second of all, who gives a crap whether McNabb knows the rule or not. It didn't affect his play last Sunday (which was miserable, as I've stated), and that's what's most important. The team needs to focus on football and find a way to put a series of complete games together--with the coaching staff, offense, and defense all performing at a high level. None of this other crap matters, so let's get over it and focus on what we need to do to beat the Ravens and try to stay in the hunt for a Wild Card spot.
