Why is McNabb at my gym?

I saw Donovan McNabb at LA Fitness on Friday. It is the second time in about a month.

At first it's pretty cool, you know, seeing a star athlete up close and personal. He's a big dude and was no slouch with the weights.

But then I start wondering why he's working out at some public gym when the Novacare Complex – the Eagles multi-million dollar, state of the art facility – is a half hour drive down 295?

The first time I saw the big guy gettin' it done at the gym was a Friday afternoon. Last Friday is was early, around 7:30 a.m. That was the day the rookies and free agents (and maybe some others) reported to the Complex for the first time. Saturday was the start of the first mini-camp.

Maybe McNabb wanted to avoid the media hoopla and just let the new guys get in there and get settled.

But maybe this demonstrates the emotional rift between #5 and the team.

Or maybe I'm just a dumb fan reading too much the situation. I read he works out like crazy, so perhaps he just wants to get in some reps at a gym close to his house.

Either way...

GO BIRDS!
