NFL Fab Five
We interrupt our Imus fact-finding mission for today's version of the five things you need to know about the NFL:
Why Vikings receiver Troy Williamson is our mensch of the week. He gave up a week's pay to attend his grandmother's funeral.
Why Donovan McNabb is right for saying he's not the only one at fault for the Eagles' problems ... and why he's wrong, too. Why's he wrong? Because when you're the quarterback and you make over 100 mil, you suck it up and just say, "Put it on me."
I think Don Shula checked our blog post below, because he now says there would be no asterisk on an unbeaten season for the Patriots. Evidently, Shula, a former NFL cornerback, still knows how to backpedal.
David Garrard might be back sooner rather than later for the Jags.
Further proof that Bengals receiver Chris Henry is still a nincompoop.

My favorite thing about McNabb is when he tells people to not compare him to Brett Favre. When they played earlier in the year, the question was asked about their similarities. McNabb made sure that everyone knew that Favre was nothing like McNabb because of Favre's interceptions. (He could have pointed out that Favre was going to or had already broken every passing record, started 16 years in a row whereas McNabb can't make it through 1 season, Favre 3 time MVP, Super Bowl Champion, etc.) So instead of complimenting Favre as the champion and leader that he is, McNabb said that interceptions are what distinguishes the two.
Fastforward to yesterday, McNabb was asked about the team's losing. Who does he compare himself to now? That's right, Brett Favre.
Wow.
TO made it easy to like McNabb, but McNabb himself makes it easy to root for anyone playing the Eagles...
Shouldn't "nincompoop" be used exclusively for Najeh Davenport?
