Eagles shut it down for the year

If you think that being a Steelers and Panthers fan yesterday was bad — and let me tell ya, it was bad — try being an Eagles fan today.

After dropping to 4-6 and falling off the face of the playoff race, the Philadelphia Eagles have announced that QB Donovan McNabb and CB Lito Sheppard are both having season-ending surgeries.
