McNabb hopes for cheer when he returns to Philly

[Doomsday101]

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Donovan McNabb says he would have loved to finish his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, but it's just something that didn't happen.

The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was formally introduced Tuesday as the new quarterback of the Washington Commanders.

Seeing McNabb hold up a No. 5 Commanders jersey after 11 years with the Eagles was odd sight, with McNabb saying he's "starting a new chapter in the book of Donovan."

McNabb said he believes "in finishing what you started," but he spoke in positive terms of his time in Philadelphia, even saying he hopes he'll be cheered when he plays there with the Commanders this season.

The Eagles traded McNabb to the Commanders on Sunday for two draft picks.

He said a lot of weird things during the PC. It was like he was in a daze. Reporters would ask him specific questions, and he'd go off on very general, diatribes not related to the question asked.

McNabb seems to say many weird things during press PC

He might get a 40/60 crowd... Remember those are the same fans that boo'd Santa.

Those are some stupid fans. Run the guy out of town that made your franchise relevant.

If it wasn't for the Eagles in the 2000s, the Skins might have actually made it to the Super Bowl a couple of times.

Is it true that he asked "do they have draws in Washington?".

Vicious internet rumors...

McNabb is expecting Philly's classless fans to suddenly show some class? I guess all of those years there really taught him nothing
