Sunday was a bad day for [e]agles everywhere
How's this for bad karma? -- McNabb and Co. weren't the only Eagles grounded yesterday:
Spectators at Sunday's star-studded celebration at the Lincoln Memorial might have noticed the cameo by Challenger, an imposing bald eagle that appeared briefly on stage, flapped its wings and then exited with its handler.
Turns out the planners of the event had higher hopes for Challenger, namely a dramatic flight from the memorial to a nearby landing site. But it was not to be.
No, it wasn't. Maybe next time the event organizers should bring a cardinal instead, or just ask Larry Fitzgerald to come up and flap his wings and see what happens.
