    - palabra - this stuff writes itself. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 09:44
- I still see Conan as a potential substitute/replacement for Letterman. Dave might be getting tired, and the sex scandal probably doesn't help. -- nm - Mop (225 lbs) Jan 14, 09:39 3
  - I think Dave is locked through 2012. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:42 2

  - Did everyone see Letterman last night? Mr. "What-The-Zuck" got skewered ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 09:38
  - Playing hardball with Conan won't work. It'll just make him stick to his guns harder. -- nm - Mop (225 lbs) Jan 14, 09:37
- NBC stockholders might have somthing to say about that if FOX ponies up half the buyout of Conan's contract. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:31 3
  - I dunno. They might see it as protecting their investment. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:37

    - Do I need to repost my flowchart? -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 09:23 6

- This may be a silly question, but why wouldn't they just trade Kolb? - musubi Jan 14, 09:22 15
  - Can you sell Eagles fans on that though? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:23 14
    - Trading the guy who made 3 starts over the Face of the Franchise? - musubi Jan 14, 09:28 13
      - Most of the talk here is that McNabb needs to go. Eagles fans are ready for a change. -- nm - decline Jan 14, 09:44
      - Don't you think that the Eagles fans look at the Packers moving from Farve to Rodgers and think that maybe it's time to consider it? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:31 11
        
        I think if Farve didn't do that retire/unretire sh** (and McNabb hasn't), he could play in GB until he was 80 and no Packer fan would have complained. - musubi Jan 14, 09:33 5
        
        if Favre didn't do the retire/unretire sh**, he wouldn't be motheffin' Brett Favre! - x Jan 14, 09:38 4
        
        there he is -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 09:39 3

        Favre was a 38 year old guy who'd thought about quitting for 3 years prior. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:32 4
        
        Right, but the Favre to Rodgers transition shows that allowing the Face of the Franchise to depart isn't always the worst idea if you like the #2. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:40 3
        
        That's becuase the Philly fans are quite simply, morons. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:41 2
        
        This is one of those constants like what goes up, must come down, - Diva Jan 14, 09:44 1
        
        This would be like Miami fans pushing Dan Marino out the door cuz he never won the Super Bowl. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:46
- McNabb might be the most unappreciated superstar in sports. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:21 11
  - He just really needs to be in a Bret Farve kind of situation. Get surrounded by some stellar players that make him look good. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:25 9
    - He did fine for years with no WR's and such. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:26 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Hell, even that year, they got the SB without TO - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:35
    - he has that already in Philly -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 09:26 5
      - you think? I think he's lacking a player or two. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:27 4
        
        Their defense took a step back, but they got a solid offense now. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:31 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I don't pretend to have watched them all season, but that Dallas game was the most I've seen McNabb have to dance/elude tacklers in a long time. - musubi Jan 14, 09:35
        
        DeSean Jackson is a big time playmaker. Westbrook was ridiculously good before the concussion(s). -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 09:29
