Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress spent Friday night in the hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the leg, Jay Glazer of FoxSports.com reports.

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that the incident took place in a Manhattan nightclub.

ESPN.com's John Clayton also reports that the incident took place at a club.

All three outlets report that the wound is not life-threatening.

Burress had already been ruled out of this weekend's game against the Redskins with a hamstring injury. The Eagles play the Giants in Week 14.

Burress was suspended by the team for one game in October. In the offseason, the Giants signed him to a five-year, $35 million contract.

Burress is 31-years-old. He has 35 catches for 454 yards and four touchdowns on the season. He hasn't caught more than three balls in a game since Week 6. In Week 10 against the Eagles, Burress caught just one pass, but it was a 17-yard touchdown.

UPDATED AT 6 P.M.

ESPN.com's Sal Paolantonio  reports that the incident took place at the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan. He also reports that the bullet went through the skin and muscle tissue of Burress' right thigh.

A source tells Yahoo's Jason Cole that Burress could miss a couple weeks.

One of Burress' teammates tells NJ.com's Mike Garafolo that Burress is "okay" but he wouldn't offer any other details.

Vacchiano of the New York Daily News says Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce was also at the club. Vacchiano also says Burress could be in serious trouble if he was carrying the handgun illegally.

Here are my 10 observations from the Eagles' 48-20 win over the Cardinals:

1. With the game less than four minutes old, it seemed like maybe things would be different, for one night at least. The Eagles' offense faced a dreaded third-and-one. I do these observations every week, and every week at least one is dedicated to a failed short-yardage attempt. Enter Kyle Eckel. The local kid, who was active for the first time all season. Right up the middle. Two yards. Standing ovation. What if this is all the Eagles needed all year to solve their short-yardage woes? A 237-pound bruiser. Now, maybe the short-yardage problems will start back up again next week against the Giants. But maybe not. Being a sports fan is maddening sometimes, isn't it?

2. It seemed like the Eagles were running on first down early much more than they have in previous weeks, so I decided to look it up. Out of 21 first downs in the first half, they ran nine times and threw 12 times. Seems like a much better ratio than last week against Baltimore, right? Not exactly. Against the Ravens in the first half, the Eagles ran on first down six times and passed five times. I was stunned when I saw those numbers. I guess sometimes you have to take an inch back to go a mile forward.

3. "They're just gonna run it all night," said Cris Collinsworth after a first-half Brian Westbrook touchdown. On the list of "Least likely things you thought you'd hear during last night's game," where does that rank? By the way, loved the announcing team of Collinsworth and Bob Papa. Gotta be one of the best out there right now.

4. A couple game balls to players that might otherwise go unnoticed. On offense, the line and specifically Todd Herremans. Any time you actually notice (in a positive manner) an offensive lineman that much, you know he's doing a great job, including a big block on Westbrook's fourth touchdown. In fact, the line was as big a key as any to the offensive precision. And on defense, safety Quintin Mikell, who's really come on as of late. He stuffed J.J. Arrington on a third down at the beginning of the second quarter and had an interception in the first.

5. The optimist says...

So this is what it looks like when everything's running the way it's supposed to, huh? Offensively, the line showed that talent is not the problem. A commitment to the ground game. A performance from Brian Westbrook that reminded all of us why he's one of the all-timers to ever play for the Birds. And Donovan McNabb responding. Defensively, pressure on the quarterback once again and a great performance from the secondary despite Asante Samuel being sidelined. And don't forget special teams. David Akers is in a groove, and the Eagles have return men who are a threat to score every time they touch the ball. Back in 2006, there was a certain Eagles team that was 5-6 entering Week 12. Five straight wins, including three on the road against NFC East opponents, led to a playoff berth. The key was a balanced offense and an efficient quarterback. Does that sound like a formula you might be interested in?

6. The pessimist says...

Everyone relax and take a deep breath. It was one win. The Cardinals have beat up on a weak NFC West all year. Anyone who thinks they are legit isn't paying attention. Westbrook had a great game, but do you really think he's staying healthy through this stretch run? Now Max Jean-Gilles is out for the season? That leaves us with a third-string guard in the starting lineup. Good luck blocking the Giants next weekend.

7. DeSean Jackson chest bumping Reid might be my favorite moment of the year. Watching this team has become a chore at times this season. But for one night at least, you allowed yourself to give a little fist-pump, and at least in the back of your mind say, 'Hey, maybe it's not over quite yet.'

8. Not specific to the Eagles game, but have to get something off my chest. Jesse McCartney and The Jonas Brothers? Really, NFL? Did your audience just shift to 14-year-old girls? I don't get it. I imagine every household without girls between the ages of 7 and 16 was thoroughly confused at the entertainment choices. My Dad and I were trying to decide who weighed more -- the fella with the "Big Rob" jersey or the three Jonas Brothers combined. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this one.

9. To take a page out of Bob Brookover's Up-Down drill, thumbs down to Marshall Faulk. On NFL Network's pre-game show, he continued the national media's streak of mentioning Santa Clause before an Eagles game. When talking about Reid's decision to bench McNabb, Faulk said:

"I'm thinking he felt pressure from these fans because these fans are something special. I mean they booed Santa Clause."

Thank you for this original and creative analysis Marshall. It's nuggets and insights like this that make us want to tune in.

10. And finally, a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. The comments and readership have really picked up over the last month. We kept firing and are getting into a nice rhythm. I realized that I needed to get you guys in a better position to voice your opinion. Are we satisfied here at MTC? Not at all. But we're headed in the right direction. If there are things you like/dislike about the blog, please e-mail me or comment below and I will try to adjust accordingly. Thanks again.

Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice things to say about Eagles fans tonight after the team's 48-20 win over the Cardinals.

Donovan McNabb arrived at the NFL Network's set at the Linc for a post-game interview. Many fans stayed in the stands to applaud McNabb, who threw four touchdowns in the victory.

As fans chanted McNabb's name, Sanders interrupted.

"Can I tell them something for you?" he said. "First of all, I would like to tell all these idiotic fans to shut-up. Don't get on his bandwagon now. You're the same guys who booed him on his first incompletion."

Host Rich Eisen then asked Sanders what he thought of the Philly fans.

"I can't stand them. I really can't. It's not because I was a former Cowboy because I didn't give a darn about any fans. They all hated me because I performed well," Sanders said. "But they way they treated this man from Day One, it's not justifiable. They will not treat any other quarterback in the NFL, like we said, Peyton Manning don't get treated like that. Tom Brady. And I know you [McNabb] can't say it, but I would really like on your behalf, you can take this...God bless you guys. ... "

The NFL Network's Scott Hansen talked to Donovan McNabb in an interview that aired before tonight's game. Here's a quick recap of what McNabb said. Note: McNabb did not speak in the third person. I paraphrased the questions and answers. These are not direct quotes.

Here's our weekly look at who's picking the Eagles, along with some links that I didn't get to earlier in the week. I'll be here at 7:45 for our in-game Eagles-Cardinals chat.

And oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.

SI.com's Peter King likes the Eagles in a 24-23 game:

Turkey Day Game of the Day. Too bad America's going to be all tryptophaned-out and sleeping through half of it. I can't blame the Cardinals for cat-napping here either. Do you realize they were due to report to work for a compressed day in Tempe on Wednesday at 6 a.m., and after meetings and practice, were to get on a plane for the 2,300-miles trip to Philly ... and then meet some more when they got to the hotel?

ESPN.com's John Clayton will be watching to see how the fans react to McNabb:

There is plenty of drama in this one. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb was benched in Week 12 but he's back as the starter. The most interesting part of the game is to see how Eagles fans react to him. The benching is probably going to lead to McNabb's exodus after the season.

SI.com's Don Banks has the Eagles 21st in his power rankings:

A big, slip-and-slide tumble down the board for the flailing Eagles, who almost every year now seem to have one of these three-week stints where the sky comes crashing down on their heads. But as someone once said, it is always darkest right before it's completely black. With all appearing lost, naturally I expect Philly to wake up and put a decent-sized whipping on the Cardinals on Thursday night.

ESPN.com has the Eagles 21st in its power rankings:

This is a team in turmoil. A loss against the Cardinals on Thursday could signal the immediate end of the Donovan McNabb era.

CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco has the Eagles 22nd in his power rankings:

Donovan McNabb stays in at quarterback, which is the right thing to do. But if it goes bad Thursday night, it could get ugly at home.

SI.com's King thinks Andy Reid should give Kevin Kolb a shot the rest of the season:

Can he still play? Maybe. Probably. But there's no guarantee he can ever be the same McNabb who played well (well, not consistently great) for eight years. If you think enough of a prospect to draft him as high as the Eagles picked Kolb (36th overall), you've got to give him a chance before he leaves in free-agency. If McNabb continued to play at a B to B-plus level, I'd say fine -- let Kolb go when he hits the market. But McNabb's been a C-minus quarterback this year, with an F the last three weeks.

FoxSports.com's Mark Kriegel wonders why McNabb's teammates haven't spoken up in support of him:

Great quarterbacks — and perhaps McNabb's curse is having everybody believe he should've been one — go through tough times. He's allowed to have a bad stretch. But the most damning evidence coming out of Philadelphia is what's not coming out of Philadelphia. It's not just the lack of love from the fans. It's McNabb's teammates. Where are they? Where's the show of support?

SI.com's King named Quintin Demps one of his special teams players of the week:

With the Eagle offense in the biggest funk of the season -- maybe of Andy Reid's decade-long career -- Demps took immense pressure off McNabb. With Philly down 10-0, Demps took a Baltimore kickoff 100 yards and provided the only offensive pulse of the day for the Eagles, narrowing the Ravens' lead to 10-7. That led to ...

SI.com's Banks wonders about Reid's message:

All I really know is that the NFL's 10-year rule seems to be playing a factor in all of this. Although there are exceptions, 10 years in the same place is about the extent of an NFL head coach's lifespan these days. After that, people just tire of you, your message and your lack of being able to deliver championships every season. And given that Reid and McNabb are in their 10th season together in Philly, it's only natural that the issue of when their tenure should end seems to be thought of as a package deal.

FoxSports.com's Adrian Hasenmayer has the Eagles 19th in his power rankings:

Wow. Remarkable. Did Andy Reid really bench Donovan McNabb at halftime of a 10-7 gave against one of the planet's best defenses, putting Kevin Kolb in for his first true action of his NFL life against Ray Lewis and Co.? Can you say desperate? It doesn't look like Andy Reid's Eagles are getting closer to winning that elusive Super Bowl title.

CBSSports.com's Prisco likes the Cardinals, 27-24:

Donovan McNabb stays in as the starter for the Eagles, which could make for an interesting night. If he starts slow, look out. The crowd will turn on him and the team. The Cardinals will make plays against the blitzing Eagles defense, and they will find a way to make the crowd angry.

CBSSports.com's Harmon Forecast has the Eagles, 26-21:

The Cardinals aren't getting much out of the ground game, so QB Kurt Warner will once again be expected to win the game. Warner faces an Eagles defense that plans on hitting him often to try to make him uncomfortable in the pocket and take advantage of his propensity for fumbling. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb remains the starter and will test a Cardinals defense that gave up 240 passing yards and three touchdowns against the Giants last week.

Vinnie Iyer of the Sporting News likes the Eagles, 24-20:

It’s probably better for the Eagles long term to start Kevin Kolb at quarterback the rest of the year, but with a short week to prepare, coach Andy Reid figured he’d try to get Donovan McNabb out of his slump by dinking, dunking and chucking downfield at will against Arizona’s pass defense. Look for McNabb to rebound nicely, for which he will receive little thanks from the Eagles’ fans.

Last week: 11-4
Overall: 95-71-4

Titans at Lions

Just what the TV execs dialed up, right? The 11-1 Titans travel to Detroit to take on the 0-11 Lions in a matchup with major playoff implications. Well, not quite. What worries me about the Titans: For a team that's calling card is supposed to be its ground game and defense, the Titans' rushing game hasn't exactly been dominant lately. In the last three weeks, Tennessee has gone for 20, 114 and 45 yards on the ground respectively.

The pick: Titans (-11)

Seahawks at Cowboys

Here's what T.O. said after his 213-yard performance last weekend:

"I'm still not satisfied. I think that I could have done more. ...Because I could've been doing it all year long. I'm not saying that in a negative way. For whatever reason, the opportunities didn't present themselves. Like I said, I know what I can do once I get the opportunities and I get catchable balls."

Doesn't sound negative at all to me.

The pick: Seahawks (+12.5)

Cardinals at Eagles

I hear people taking the Eagles because of the whole "West coast team traveling East" thing, but I don't see it. The Birds have scored one offensive touchdown in two games. Andy Reid seems to be picking at straws at this point. And it's not exactly going to be a positive, festive atmosphere. I'm dreading watching this game, but I'll be online as usual hosting our live chat so be sure to join us if you need to vent.

The pick: Cardinals (+3)

Broncos at Jets

The question has begun to be tossed around: What if the Jets and Giants both host conference championship games? Commissioner Roger Goodell had an answer yesterday, telling WFAN 660 in New York that one game would be played at the Meadowlands like usual on Sunday, and the second conference championship game would take place Monday.

The pick: Broncos (+7.5)

49ers at Bills

Rumor you've probably heard that may or may not have any credibility: Mike Holmgren takes over the 49ers in a Bill Parcells role and hires his protege Andy Reid as head coach. Meanwhile, the San Francisco media goes in mourning having to adapt to Andy's press conferences after half a season of entertaining responses from Mike Singletary.

The pick: Bills (-7)

Saints at Bucs

Time for MC's pick of the week. MC's record on the season is 5-7.

Tampa is undefeated at home and New Orleans struggles outside of the dome. The Bucs' 'D' won't allow Drew Brees to sit comfortably in the pocket like Green Bay did Monday night.

The pick: Bucs (-3.5)

Panthers at Packers

These two teams gave up a combined 96 points in Week 12. And they both could very well end up winning their divisions. By the way, nice effort by Aaron Rodgers nailing the Saints DB after throwing an interception Monday night. Maybe someone can send a tape of that play to the Eagles' offensive players.

The pick: Packers (-3)

Giants at Redskins

Did you catch Madison Hedgecock's celebration after his first career TD last week? The Giants fullback made a rowing motion to signify rowing to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl. Speaking of the Pro Bowl, the game will likely be moved to the week before the Super Bowl starting next year. The NFL said it hoped to capture more degenerate gamblers with the switch and thus heighten interest in the game (that's a joke).

The pick: Redskins (+3.5)

Ravens at Bengals

Baltimoresun.com runs an entertaining Q&A with columnist Mike Preston every week. Preston never holds anything back. For instance, he was asked this week about Ed Reed lateraling the ball during an INT return against the Eagles. Reed is notorious for doing this during returns, but why can't he just be satisfied rather than making the risky play?

Ego, dumb, childish -- take your pick. Unless it's the last play of a game and you're losing, save that stuff for the backyard with friends and family.

And there you have it.

The pick: Bengals (+7)

Colts at Browns

It was pretty refreshing to see the Colts close out Sunday night's game against the Chargers in such precise fashion. With less than a minute left and the game tied at 20, the Indy offense faced a fourth-and-one at the San Diego 48-yard line. Do you punt? Do you go for it and risk giving San Diego the ball with a chance to get in field-goal range? Do you run or pass? Indy didn't have a ton of time to decide. The previous play was being reviewed by the booth so the clock would start running as soon as a ruling was made. Peyton Manning and the Indy coaches discussed it briefly, got on the same page, let some time run off the clock and ran play-action to Marvin Harrison for a 14-yard gain. Adam Vinatieri kicked the game-winning field goal three plays later.

The pick: Colts (-5)

Falcons at Chargers

Speaking of San Diego, the Chargers have lost four games this season in the final 24 seconds. Wow. But thanks to their division, you'll see headlines like Dismal AFC West opponents keeping Chargers on life support and Thanks to mediocre division, Chargers' season is still alive on the San Diego Union-Tribune's Web site.

The pick: Chargers (-5)

Steelers at Patriots

Don't you love how in the NFL, experts can go way overboard with their love for a player one week and then completely rip the guy the next? For example, if you've been paying attention this week, you know that Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. I'm not blaming Cassel. He's played well -- back-to-back 400-yard games and a 7-4 record for New England is very impressive. But what will we hear if Cassel lays an egg in the first round of the playoffs? Isn't that how we judge QBs? Playoff wins? Just saying.

The pick: Steelers (+1)

Chiefs at Raiders

We're just going to Herm's Terms every week on The Kansas City Star's Web site when I get to the Chiefs pick:

This is the first time this year for our young players that we have played a team twice. Every team has been new to them as an opponent, but this is the second time we’ve played, and I think they have to realize that this is a division opponent. They came in here and did a good job against us the last time they were here.

Playing a division opponent for the second time. Got it. Can any profession compete with NFL coaches in terms of saying a lot of words but not really saying anything? I say no.

The pick: Raiders (-3)

Bears at Vikings

Did you ever doubt yourself?

"Not at all. I always had confidence in myself. Some of those things that happened in Philadelphia last year just made me stronger. And now I'm in a good position to make plays and have success on the football field."

**Note: The previous Q&A with Donovan McNabb was taken from either the Chicago Tribune or the Minneapolis Star Tribune following a 4-0 start with either the Bears or the Vikings in 2009.

The pick: Vikings (-3.5)

Monday night game will be picked Monday. Lines used are from sportsbook.com. Happy Thanksgiving.

ESPN's Monday Night Countdown crew had quite a lengthy discussion about Donovan McNabb, Andy Reid and the Eagles during yesterday's show.

Among the topics discussed: Should Reid have been the one to tell McNabb he was being benched?

Analyst and former coach Mike Ditka said if he were in Reid's shoes, he would have told his quarterback:

"I don't let the ballboy tell him. I don't let the quarterback coach, the defensive coordinator tell him. I tell him. Not only do I tell him that he's benched, I tell him why he's benched."

Cris Carter agreed with Ditka: "I believe it's disrespectful for Andy Reid not to go to him and tell him that."

Keyshawn Johnson and Steve Young, meanwhile, disagreed. Johnson said it's not unusual for position coaches to break that kind of news to the players. And Young said Reid didn't want to make a huge deal about the benching.

"I think that Andy was frustrated with Donovan. He knew he wasn't playing well...he didn't like the way he was playing. You're not playing well. You're not focused. You're not playing like Donovan McNabb and so I'm gonna discipline you. ... and we're gonna sit you down for a minute and we'll see if this can snap you out of this little funk you're in." Young said.

One of the best parts of this segment was that ESPN dug up clips of the Eagles' 40-8 win over the 49ers in 1994 when George Seifert pulled Young. If you're like me, you remember this as the Charlie Garner game. Garner carried 16 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns as the Eagles improved to 3-1. That was the year the Birds started off 7-2 before losing seven in a row.

Anyway, some other snippets from the ESPN guys...

Tom Jackson on the move to pull McNabb:

"I don't have a problem with it. You're Andy Reid. It's your responsibility to make decisions on what's best for the team at the time. I think he made an assessment of not only the play of Donovan McNabb yesterday but what had happened to him during the course of the week. You put Kevin Kolb in to try and get a spark for the football team. That did not happen. If Kevin Kolb had played well, we might be discussing something different. I think now they're still in the playoff race. You start him Thursday. If he were to falter again, and I think Andy was watching him deteriorate right before his eyes, if he does that again on Thursday, I think Kolb'll get his chance to play."

Carter on the decision:

"Do you know what you're getting yourself in for? This doesn't happen to the Mannings. This doesn't happen to Brady. You don't do this to a franchise quarterback. There is no turning around from this so when you put me on the bench, you're saying this is the beginning of the end cause there is no turning back. This is not OK. This is not gonna be OK."

It seems that everyone is offering their opinion on the current state of the Eagles, and former wide receiver Freddie Mitchell is no exception.

FredEx talked about Donovan McNabb, Andy Reid and where the franchise is headed in an interview with Jody Mac and Harry Mayes on ESPN 950 this morning. Mitchell offered complete support for Reid, but was not so kind with his words for McNabb, which should come as no surprise.

Here are snippets of the interview:

Did he see this coming, specifically with McNabb?

"Well I mean, when you're in that environment and you see the intricacies of what's going on and the plays and stuff like that and what's not being produced, it was hard for me not to say something. ... My situation was pretty bad because I had to pick... go for what was wrong or go for what was right...T.O., a lot of people don't like him but he was totally in the right."

Did Reid coddle McNabb too much?

"There was a lot of breast milk out there."

How was McNabb viewed in the locker room when Mitchell played?

"It wasn't really a leader. ...Everyone knew what we had to do and we got it done. We were coached well."

Should the Eagles cut ties with Reid, McNabb or neither?

"Definitely not the coach. One hundred percent not the coach. ...Coach Reid is an amazing coach. He knows how to win." [Mitchell never really answered about McNabb]

On his relationship with McNabb when the two were teammates.

"It's sad that me and Donovan couldn't get along. ...I've had a lot of meetings with Donovan like 'Donovan, what am I doing wrong? How can I get better as a receiver?' and he would never ever tell me anything."
 
There was more from Mitchell.  He repeated comments made in July that the reason he's not playing has nothing to do with his athletic ability.

"It's not rocket science. Why didn't Barry Bonds play last year? It's not his ability to hit home runs."

Whatever that means.

Mitchell said he calls T.O., Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter every week.

"Every time I talk to 'em, they're like 'there's no reason why you shouldn't be out there playing,'" Mitchell said.

And when asked about if McNabb really threw up in the Super Bowl, Mitchell simply laughed and avoided the question. It almost sounded like he was confused about what was being asked, but maybe that was just my interpretation.

So what is Mitchell up to nowadays anyway? He opened up a joint called Brothers' Barbecue in Lakeland, Fla.

I am off from my day job this week so I've been taking in everyone's opinions on Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb and the Eagles this morning.

The Inquirer and Daily News reporters and columnists have everything you need in terms of local coverage in philly.com's Eagles section. And I offered my 10 observations right after the game. Be sure to check philly.com this afternoon for the latest from Reid's press conference.

Here's a sampling of what they're saying nationally. I'll have more links later today and tomorrow:

On ESPN this morning, Merrill Hoge basically said Reid's system is flawed:

"Here's what the Eagles do for you. We're gonna make it easy on you. We're not going to run the ball. We're gonna be one-dimensional for you therefore it's much easier to defend the Eagles. You understand their passing game can be very dynamic, very good at times but it's the only thing we must defend. It's the only concern we have so when your quarterback like Donovan and even Kevin Kolb are struggling, what do the Eagles do, and in this case Andy Reid, do to help them? Nothing. They keep chucking the ball. They keep putting him in bad situations... If Kevin Kolb is your starter and you choose to play just like this, he's gonna look just like Donovan, maybe worse."

Sal Paolantonio of ESPN wondered what the crowd's reaction would be Thursday if McNabb started:

"Thanksgiving night, Lincoln Financial Field, I wonder if you want to subject Donovan McNabb to the almost certain disgust and booing that will come from the fans when he is announced as the starting quarterback and every time he throws an incompletion, everybody in the stadium looking for that cutaway shot, everybody in the TV audience, everybody in the press box, maybe even some of his teammates on the field, looking for that cutaway shot of Kevin Kolb. OK, when is he going to come in? Every time there's an incompletion or an interception, do you want McNabb to go out like that in a very undignified way?"

On NFL Network, Steve Mariucci said he disagreed with his friend Reid's decision:

"I'm surprised he did it, especially 10-7 at halftime. I understand Donovan's in a slump a little bit. So are the Philadelphia Eagles. It's not always one guy. We know that, but to put a new quarterback in against a great defense at Baltimore, that's tough to ask Kevin Kolb to do much more than Donovan could. I don't know. I'm curious about this move...I would have kept Donovan playing."

Mariucci was also asked about Reid not being the one to tell McNabb he was being benched. Here was his response:

"They've been joined at the hip for 10 years. I thought if they were gonna do it, Andy might go up to him and say 'hey listen, we're gonna let the other guy go. Stay in the game. We need a spark. That's it. We'll talk about it later.' But he had the assistant coach do it. That surprises me as well."

And finally, Deion Sanders disagreed with McNabb's benching:

"They have no running game so the burden relies on the quarterback to just make heroic efforts on the passing game. The Philadelphia Eagles, they're not that type of team. Defensively they're OK, but offensively, full of struggles."

Deion was asked what the players might be thinking after yesterday's events:

"That he [Reid] don't know what he's doing. After all this time, after all we've gone through, you don't know what you're doing and Donovan McNabb is your leader. You don't have an offensive leader. That is it. He's your guy."

Like I said, I'll pass along some of what the national writers are saying later today.
