DMac in the Desert

POSTED: Wednesday, July 22, 2009, 10:16 AM

With training camp nigh, Donovan McNabb has put aside his mourning of Michael Jackson to blog about his annual get-together with receivers, out on No. 5's home turf, in suburban Phoenix.

DMac doesn't give us any names or a lot of detail. And he could use an editor -- pretty sure he means "regimen" instead of "regiment," unless he has amassed several battalions, out there in the desert.

But it's good to hear the week in Arizona went well, and that the Thursday barbecue at Casa McNabb was catered -- Roxie has enough to do, with three youngsters, including those twins born last season, who ought to be crawling around, getting into everything by now.

No word on whether the lawn has recovered from that prank preceding the NFC Championship Game six months ago. 

****

Here's a note intended for several of the commenters below: There are some seriously disturbed people out there; I guess I should be thankful so many of them read my blog. Some of you might want to look up the term "Rorschach test."

A little clarification. I cover the Eagles. Their quarterback blogs. I figured people might be interested in the fact that he blogged about the receivers coming out to Arizona. I posted a blog item about this. In it, I joked about his use of the word "regiment" instead of "regimen," which I thought was funny, as a typo, malapropism, or whatever. I noted that he didn't tell us a lot about who was there and exactly what they did, because, well, because he didn't tell us a lot about who was there and exactly what they did. 

 In no way did I make fun of him for having a family (???!!!) I was not and am not "bitter." I'm pretty sure most sane people who follow my work here, in the paper, and on Daily News Live would not characterize me that way. As far as I know, I have a pretty cordial relationship with Donovan, more cordial than many local reporters. 

But you guys go on and have fun among yourselves, don't mind me.Except when it comes to making up stuff I didn't say.

    Double shocker...local sports reporter writes something about McNabb dripping with condescending sarcasm and lonelywolf continues to stalk McNabb articles. The local sports media is going to pout all season because McNabb didn't want to answer their stupid questions all summer. If McNabb ever ends up dead, lonelywolf better have a good lawyer because his collection of McNabb posts on here make John Hinckley seem sane.

    Wow Les, what a cranky non-article. Was the break room out of stirrers?

    Lonewolf is just moping about the fact that Donovan is going to kick his Cowgirls' behind!

    No interesting blogs on Giants.com today wiff? One doesn't need a college education to tell this reporter has an agenda that has nothing to do with football, much like you. And since you're here so somewhere there is a vacancy under a rock. And you are still a waste of time.

    Hatchet and Panthro, if you get a direct answer you'll be the first. Good luck, but chances are those pictures only exist in what wiff considers his mind.

    Les, this is a new low even for you guys, I would have bet that you couldn't write an article that was only 4 paragraphs long in which you ripped McNabb 3 times, (one of which was for having a family); plus add a line which gleefully celebrates vandalism; but I would have lost that bet. BTW, a couple months ago one of your educated colleagues at the DN referred to the Phils farm system as having a "glutton" of outfielders the day after they drafted Kelly Dugan. Pretty sure he meant "glut" unless several minor league outfielders have since been eaten. Repeat after me Les: "Donovan McNabb is the greatest QB in Eagles history by a significant margin, and the reason he doesn't talk to us sportswriters is because we are a bunch of mean-spirited horses rear ends"
