McNabb: Return To Eagles’ Facility ‘Was A Sour Day For Me’

Philadelphia Magazine’s own Richard Rys recently sat down with Donovan McNabb for a wide-ranging Q&A that covers everything from the day he was drafted to the day he was traded — and the hard feeling that followed. Plenty of good nuggets in there. Here’s a sample:

Did your time with Washington and Minnesota give you a different perspective on the Eagles?

I never forgot what happened in Philadelphia. Those were great years. I would have loved to have had another couple years after that and just say “Thank you, I’m done.” But it didn’t happen that way. I sold my house when I got traded. Never even touched foot in Philadelphia until I played there as a Washington Redskin. I hadn’t even been back to the facility until Brian Dawkins retired. It was a sour day for me. I was pissed off to go, but [Brian’s] like my brother. I went for my brother. I felt the same as Brian—you turned your back on me. You basically pointed the finger at me. Things haven’t been right in Philadelphia since [I left].

Eagles Almanac Excerpt: Davis Brings Steelers’ Influence

There’s a reason the Eagles’ new defensive coordinator goes by Billy in league circles.

Davis was 26 when he got his first shot at an NFL job as the defensive quality control coach with the Steelers. But the name Bill had already been claimed by a new coach in Pittsburgh, who went by the last name of Cowher. And so the low man on the totem pole decided that Billy would be just fine by him.
