Tag: "Donovan McNabb"

Vick’s Voodoo Doll

Despite the fact that the NFL season is only three weeks old, the Philadelphia Eagles have already seen their share of drama. First, they signed PETA’s worst enemy, dramatically changing their offense. Then, Donovan forgot to eat his chunky soup, cracking his ribs in the opening game. And before the dust had a chance to […]

“To QB…or not to QB?” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“To QB…or not to QB?” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

It’s no secret that I’ve been in a terrible mood all day. But it’s not just the fact that the Eagles lost to a team that didn’t even make the playoffs last year. It’s the QB situation…and unless Andy Reid figures it out, we’re in for a long season. I’m the type of gyno who […]

“It’s in the Past” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“It’s in the Past” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

Did Donovan McNabb have the right to be angry when he was benched last season? Absolutely. But does that one instance give him the right to dictate the Eagles’ off-season plans? Absolutely not. In the heat of the battle, quick, decisive moves need to be made. And even though tensions can run high, a good […]

It’s a Boy!

It’s a Boy!

Having a son is exciting for any father…but when your son is born with obvious athletic potential, it’s that much more of a celebration. See, in Dr. Leavenworth’s office, they don’t just help newborns enter the world, they also examine infants to determine their future potential athleticism. So when the Thompson family gave birth to […]

“Getting Your Hands Dirty”  by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“Getting Your Hands Dirty” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

As I watched my beloved Eagles dominate the Giants yesterday, a myriad of thoughts rushed through my head. Should I book my flight to Tampa? Is Eli really missing a chromosome? But the one that stood out the most was that in order to win, you gotta stuff it up the middle. I learned the […]

“The Sunday Night Routine” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“The Sunday Night Routine” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

Every Sunday night, after putting on my Randall Cunningham pajamas, I toss and turn as images of yet another frustrating Eagles performance run through my head. I’m up all night pacing throughout the house, sometimes even trying to calm my nerves with a glass of warm milk. On Monday morning, it’s more of the same […]

“A Christmas Miracle” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“A Christmas Miracle” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

Being a highly respected OBGYN, I’m not one to believe in Santa Claus or Christmas Miracles. But this year, with my beloved Eagles needing the gifts of all gifts, I decided to roll up the scrubs and take one for the team. Not only did I draft a hand written letter to Santa asking for […]

“Here Comes New Life…” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“Here Comes New Life…” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

Like the NFL season, a pregnancy comes down to the final weeks, and as the due date approaches, it takes its toll on the parents to be. So when I delivered a pair of healthy twins to the McNabb family this past week, I immediately saw a new focus in Donovan’s eyes, and I could […]

“Two Scoops on the Side”  by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

“Two Scoops on the Side” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

This Thanksgiving, I refused to taste my pecan pie before I had two scoops of vanilla ice cream by its side. Why must I have vanilla ice cream to enjoy the pie? It’s simple – the vanilla bean allows the pecan flavor to flourish. Whether it’s pecan pie needing ice cream, or a star quarterback […]

“Say it ain’t so…” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

I don’t know if it’s the freezing cold here in Philly or the fact that I just witnessed fat Andy bench our most reliable veteran, but I’m numb right now. Seeing Donovan on the sideline, I can’t help but think about my experience last winter. It was late in the season and things just weren’t […]

“It’s the System, Stupid” by Dr. Gerard Leavenworth

Having just begun the second half of the NFL season, one thing has become abundantly clear: more than anything, the success of a team depends on quarterback play. Like me, Donovan McNabb has been having a respectable year. So how come the Green Machine sits at the bottom of the NFC East? Look no further […]
