The Facts:
It might not seem like a big deal, but McNabb went on a public-relations blitz yesterday, far away from the protective eyes, ears and hands of team officials. He didn't inform the Eagles of his intentions. He just had his new publicist, a longtime Eagles employee whom the team recently let go, set up interviews with the Inquirer and a few other media outlets so McNabb could make it clear he's not upset that the team used its top pick in last month's draft on a QB. Instead he isn't happy that there is a perception that he is upset.

Fox went on to explain the Eagles did not know about McNabb's scheduled interviews until she told them. In her words, they "were dumbfounded. In one second, they had lost control. ..." That McNabb's new publicist, Rich Burg, was recently fired by the team adds to the intrigue. Although Burg apparently had some inadequacies the Eagles decided they no longer could live with, McNabb trusted him. ... Stay tuned. This could get more interesting.
