Checking In
Training camp has been going well. It's been hot but that's one of the reasons I train in Arizona - to get used to what I will have to expect at Lehigh. There are many media outlets that come up here and cover practice and press conferences so I won't detail the football side of things. (If you are interested in my press conferences, we now post the transcripts on my website - DonovanMcNabb.com - which has undergone some recent construction. Check it out if you haven't done so lately.) When fans come out to Lehigh they ask many of the same questions that the media does - how's practice going? who looks good?, what can we expect this year?, etc. The questions that they ask that the media doesn't are often what's it like living in a dorm?, who's your roommate?, what do you do up here besides practice? To answer those questions I'll say this - they do keep us pretty busy up here with football. Besides the practice that is open to the fans, there are meetings, lifting, and treatments. Don't get me wrong we do have down time. During those times I like to stay off my feet. I might lay down and sleep or watch TV. Our accommodations are not bad - we all have our own bedrooms and every few players share an adjoining suite. I share an apartment with Brian Dawkins. We get along great but don't spend a lot of time together in the room. Maybe we'll watch some TV, talk about things we noticed at practice, or occasionally we'll go catch a movie. In the past if the coahes gave us the night off, I might drive home to see my wife and daughter. Sounds boring I know. The important thing is that we are here as a team to become better football players and build some chemistry with each other.

So Donovon, you kick your shoes off, watch SportsCenter, have a beer and play some NCAA Xbox, tell will you be Syracuse when you play NCAA 08?
Cheers to you and a great season.

Maybe next time.
The team looks great. Nice runs by BOOKER. Great blocking, too. Both the D and O look like Tampa in 09.
Hope the guys that are out are soon back to help kick ass on the field come regular season.
Do you ever go out to some of our local restaurants for some good food and kicking back? I have some relatives who work at one of the local sports bars and they said the Birds come in a lot of times. They never tell me when the Birds are there, tho.
Anyway, stay cool, stay healthy and keep that winning smile of yours out there. As a matter of fact, take that smile all the way to Tampa and bring home the SuperBowl.
GO BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the update. Great to see you back to yourself. When I saw you take off running on Saturday I got real excited. You left the Defense in the Dust!! I can't wait to see this offense this year. You have to be excited to have weapons like Booker and Westbrook in the same back field. Reggie Brown and Hank Basket look especially focused and seem to catch everything that comes there way. Jackson can do some real damage on those slant routes. LJ is back to himself so the D can't double up on the Wide Recievers anymore. You guys are going to tear it up this year if you stay focused. I love you attitude too. I saw your press conferance and I love that you let the NFC East Know that you are going to beat them. I love that you expect to win all six division games. That is leadership. Also I just want to say that I will always respect what you did last year. Coming back from a 1 1/2 year injury in 8 months..ARE YOU SERIOUS!! Man you had to put in some crazy hard work , although most people don't realize it. I just want to say THANKS because most OB's would have never made it back for a full season last year, and you gave us your all.
