CK, I'm so sad that one of your favorite Eagles feels the need to continue to express himself on the wrong side of the tracks. This is the latest installment from D-Mac's blog. I have a lot of respect for what he is saying, I applaud the fact that he's unhappy with how they are playing and that he feels responsible. (Note to VY: this is how a leader acts) I would just prefer that he not spend time in the trailer park.
"I made a comment after the game [Sunday] that's worth repeating - I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed with the way we played the past two weeks. believe that we lost to teams we should have beaten. Not because I think they are not good - they are. But I still believe we are better; we just didn't show it. I'm embarrassed with the way I played. I didn't do enough to win the game for my team. I take that to heart. I want the ball in my hand when the game is on the line and, if I have it, I have to make a play. I'll take that responsibility. All three of our losses were within a score so one play could have made a difference - a fumble, an interception, calling an audible, not calling an audible. I am a proud person and I work hard to prepare to win each and every week. Certainly there have been times where we have been beaten. Take nothing away from other teams who also prepare hard and have a high-skill level. You can't win every week. But losing in the fashion that we have just doesn't sit well with me. I've made mistakes and I've owned up to them. I'm sure that some of my teammates and coaches might feel that they also could have done better. But a play here and a play there is costing us precious division and conference games that can bite us down the stretch. We didn't start playing well last year until it was too late. It's not too late to turn it around now. But to do so, we have to be embarrassed enough as a team to do something about it. I'm better than this and I'll prove it. I know my team is too. Now we have to prove it. "

yeah it's heartbreaking isn't it.
guess what, he isn't going to be there for very long, has a contract to fulfill & POOF! trust me on that mkay ;0
Donovan deserves a ring, that is all i got at the moment. i've made my love for dmac known a long time ago. mad mad props to number 5, fo sho!
I hate to say this but I don't think he's going to get one with the Eagles. I don't know if he'll eventually be the seasoned backup on a great team that needs some leadership, think Brad Johnson in Tampa, or if he'll move on and find himself in the right situation like Dilfer in Baltimore. Whatever the situation he deserves the ring.
