Tennessee veteran defensive end Jevon Kearse says he didn't stick around to watch the game against Indianapolis after being a healthy scratch, visiting with family instead. And if deactivated again? "It just depends on how I'm feeling," Kearse said Wednesday. It was an obvious football move for a Tennessee team reeling from a winless start after posting the NFL's best mark at 13-3 in 2008 to replace a veteran whose production is down with a youthful player. Coach Jeff Fisher didn't fine...Read Full Story
McNabb Hurt Again: After throwing two early interceptions, Donovan McNabb got knocked out of the game by a take down from a blitzing Dolphins corner. McNabb sprained his right ankle, almost exactly one year away from when he tore his ACL in the same leg. X-rays were negative, but Donovan sat out the rest of the game. Right now his status for next week is uncertain. Feeley Gets Revenge: A.J. Feeley stepped in for the injured McNabb, and threw the third Eagles interception of the game. After...Read Full Story

Donovan McNabb has been rejected by three teams in the last three seasons, and I'm convinced that he's completely finished as a quarterback in the NFL.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Comparisons to Jevon Kearse, nicknamed "The Freak," were frequent when the New York Giants drafted Jason Pierre-Paul last year.
Now, the second-year defensive end is playing a lot like Kearse, and he's doing it off his natural ability more than anything.
Pierre-Paul has 12 1/2 sacks among his 61 tackles, and comes off his most impactful performance. He was so dangerous against Dallas last Sunday night that the...
