80108 Saturday Update - Extras



The Post points out that Peanut Butter Mikey Strahan needs just one more sack to break the great Lawrence Taylor's record. Perhaps McNabb will help him out by just falling down the way Brett Favre did? Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Plaxico Burress is going to play through a sprained ankle. Considering that MLB pitchers are often scratched from a start because of hangnails, this should remind us all that NFL players are much, much tougher than baseball players.

A close friend has told me many stories of sitting in the snow and watching a crappy Eagles team knock the Giants out of the playoffs. This isn't that situation, but it would be nice to see New York pound Philly. They're vulnerable: except for last week against Detroit, McNabb and company haven't been stellar at all. Some key players could be out on defense, which should help Shockey get open (so he can, you know, fall down after he catches the ball).
