...athlete has a lock on that question quite like McNabb, 28, a five-time Pro Bowler who has guided the Eagles to their first Super Bowl appearance in 24 years. In 1999, upset that the Eagles chose him over Heisman-trophy running back Ricky Williams as the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft, Philadelphia's raucous fans booed McNabb before he took a single practice snap (Williams has since retired from football to travel, study holistic medicine and, by his own account, smoke weed).

In fact, I can't think of anything positive he has done, except to deceive the American people into voting him into a second term, if that can be regarded as positive.
