Donovan McNabb's intellectual prowess is now listed as non-existent

Donovan McNabb has been a quarterback in the National Football League for, I believe, eight years now. If anyone should know the rules of the game, it should be the quarterback, the leader of the offense.

At least, if you've been in the NFL for more than 100 games, you would think you would know that REGULAR SEASON GAMES CAN END IN A FREAKING TIE.

Well, McNabb didn't. And it may have cost his team a shot at the playoffs.

Yesterday, the Eagles were tied with the horrifically bad Cincinnati Bengals at 13 in overtime. McNabb apparently did not play with much of a sense of urgency, which, along with his three interceptions, did not help the Philly cause. Then, after the game, he blurted out why he was so chill in the OT.

HE DIDN'T KNOW THE GAME WOULD BE A TIE UNTIL THE VERY LAST PLAY!

"They don't have ties in college, and in high school," he said.

Special. So what? You're in the NF-freaking-L! HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THAT THERE'S THE CHANCE OF A TIE? After all, when you go out for the coin toss to start OT, the referee says, "We will play one 15 minute period. Both teams will have two timeouts. First team to score wins, if there is no scoring, the game ENDS IN A TIE."

Last time I checked, McNabb has served as an offensive captain before.

Some people want to blame the Eagle coaching staff for not emparting this little nugget of wisdom to McNabb at some point before there were seven seconds left in the game. I disagree; you've got more important things to worry about than whether or not your QB knows one of the basic rules of the game.

After that idiotic admission, Philly fan has to be wondering just how stupid their quarterback is and how his stupidity is going to cost them.
