Let the Donovan hype begin

No doubt there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth down at the NovaCare center this morning.

That, of course, is the HQ for your Philadelphia Eagles. The folks who have brought us the “gold standard” are no doubt a bit peeved today.

They’ve once again been bumped off the Back Page by their nemesis, those pesky guys wearing red pinstripes who play across the street.

Last night, a couple of hours miles south on I-95, the Phillies once again stole the spotlight, clinching their fourth consecutive National League East crown.

While the Eagles’ brass might be ticked now, the Philllies actually did them a huge favor.

By wrapping up a post-season berth early, the Phillies managed to clear the decks for what no doubt will be the dominant story of the rest of the week.

Brace yourself for “The Reunion.”

A certain No. 5 will return to Lincoln Financial Field Sunday in a Washington Redskins uniform.

No doubt he will be greeted in that most inimitable Philly style. He will be booed.

The Phils are safely in the playoffs. For the rest of the week it will be all-Donovan, all the time.

Let “The Reunion” hype being.
