PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Donovan McNabb is more likely to be compared to Joe Montana, John Elway and Dan Marino than Hugo Boss, Giorgio Armani or Gianni Versace. The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback took a break from tossing passes for the Philadelphia Eagles to launch his own line of casual men's clothing under the Reebok label. He hosted a fashion show Tuesday to introduce his ``Super Five'' apparel. ``This is very near and dear to me,'' McNabb said. ``I took a lot of pride in the design, the comfort level and th |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Andy Reid should be tougher on his players publicly, because whatever he's saying behind closed doors isn't working anymore. Reid is maddeningly predictable when he speaks to reporters each time the Philadelphia Eagles lose: He always points the finger at himself. ``I've got to put them in a better position to make plays,'' is the common reply to most questions about his team's shortcomings. At last check, Reid isn't the one throwing interceptions, dropping passes or missing tackles. |
