Mcnabb to the Redskins?


The Philadelphia Eagles have traded their franchise Quarterback Donovan Mcnabb to their rival Washington Redskins. Why they did this? Well they have been trying to get rid of Mcnabb for years but why? All he has done for your franchise is lead them into the playoffs every year he has been there. His record as a starting quarterback is 92-49-1 which is a ridiculous winning percentage for a NFL quarterback. He was 9-7 in the playoffs including a super bowl appearance. He has gone to numerous pro bowls and he is a model player. He never gets in trouble with the law. He isn't a whinny baby. He is the ultimate professional quarterback. So why trade him you ask? The eagles have 2 good quarterbacks behind him, Kevin Kolb and Michael Vick. Mike Vick was a pro bowler while he played for the Atlanta Falcons but he went to jail for a year for dog fighting. Kevin Kolb is only a 3 year pro who really doesn't have any expierence. The Eagles are idiots for making this trade. Vick doesn't fit into the eagles system. He is a running qb. He looks to take off running before he looks to pass. Don't get me wrong Vick is one of my favorite players of all-time but he doesn't fit the Eagles passing game. Kevin Kolb is a decent quarterback but again he isn't expierenced and we don't know what he'll do with the pressure on him. Why would you trade Mcnabb to the Redskins when you could've got him out of your division. We'll never know

Extra Credit-News discussion

We discussed about the Afgan President about how the voting was rigged and that he has no support in the United States. We talked about how afgan wasn't a nation; but that it is a bunch of tribal groups that have different languages and beliefs. There are a bunch of long standing rivalries. The british tried and failed and russia did as well. We have had troups in there since '02. The lady who was leading the discussion has a former student going to Iraq and Afganistan to teach the Nato Nation.

We also talked about how China didn't suffer like most companies through the recession but that it might get hit hard here soon. Labor costs are a lot cheaper over there and that's why Ford sold Volvo to China for cheaper than they bought it.

Evan Turner is AP Player of the Year


Evan Turner from The Ohio State University is the Associated Press player of the year! He dominated college basketball this year and was very deserving of this trophy. He average 20.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5.9 assists. He was an all around team player on one of the best teams in the Nation. Ohio state made the elite 8 before being knocked out by Tennessee. Evan is one of my favorite players that have played college basketball since Carmelo Anthony. I want to Jazz to draft him so bad because I compare his athleticism to Lebron James. NOT that he is as good by any means but he does everything like Lebron James does. He passes, scores and rebounds. That is hard to find in a person. Usually kids just want to score, but Evan finds people and does all the dirty work that people don't like to do. Evan Turner will make a great pro and I personally think he should forgo his sr. year and join the ranks of the NBA. He has the potentional to become an NBA all-star and hopefully he comes to the Utah Jazz and becomes an NBA champion as well!
