I'm Glad!

It was very nice to be at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday. The Eagles beat the Giants and moved into a tie for first place in the NFC East. Donovan played well and so did many of his teammates. The team scored 40 points and I think there were five different players to score touchdowns. It was a beautiful thing to see.

It made me very happy that the Eagles acknowledged a rare accomplishment that happened last Monday night when the Eagles played at Washington. Donovan threw his 200 career TD pass and reached the 30,000 yard mark as well. After the first play of the game the Eagles put that on the scoreboard and all the fans cheered.

I'm glad that his achievement did not go unnoticed. I've been told that not many NFL players have reached either of those marks and even fewer have done both. That list is filled with men who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I've been to the inductions over the years as part of the PFPMA and realize what an honor and privilege it is to have my son mentioned in the same breath of some of those men. While he's far from done, hopefully Donovan is well on his way to joining that group.
