Will this be Donovan McNabb's last weekend as the Eagles quarterback?
The sports media can be viewed as miserable and bitter in those hard-bitten Eastern cities like New York, Boston and Philly. They’re not happy up there unless they’re miserable or they’re making someone else miserable. Always looking for a looming cloud at the end of every perfect horizon. Negative, negative, negative.

The Arizona Cardinals have lost four of their last five games, allowing 37, 48, 35 and 47 points. Their only win during that period was over St. Louis, a 2-13 team. And if they don't beat 4-11 Seattle at home on Sunday, they will finish 8-8.

Exactly why the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays tangle so much is hard to tell. Blame it on a high-and-tight pitch here, a hard slide there.
