down inside that would love to show andy reid and all the eaglesans that they gave up on him way too early. mcnabb's return to philly ha been the biggest story nationwide in the nfl this week. but mcnabb has been steady since he w traded here, trying not to put too much weight on his homecoming. >> for me to sit here and try to explain how my emotions may be, or what is going to be going through my mind, i think it's just kind of -- as mike tyson id, ludicrous. you know, the thing about it is i think i can respond to that better when the game is over. so for me to try to come up with something wouldn't be right. but i'm going to approach this week obviously like it has been in the last couple of weeks of preparing, woing with kol and trying to make sure we're on the same page and go out and execute plays. >> donovan is a veteran. he is a professional. he knows how to act. donovan, it would be real hard for yone to see a big

difference in him. we know deep down it's a big deal to him, just like it would be to anyone else. but the way donovan works and goes about his business, he stays pretty even keel. >> he does. you want to ask about trent williams, the rookie left tackle. >> what out him? >> i'm feeling pretty good about it. he says it's a game-time decision. the coach says it's a game-time decision. his toe is what is bothering him e most right now. he says he is about 90 to % on his toe. nobody in the nfl is 100%. so i think he is going to go. >> i hope 95% is snuff enough. they need to really play well this weekend. especily the o line. >> if they don't, it's going to be a long day for donovan. a long day for donovan. on the other side of the ball, albert haynesworth, as you know is the highest paid defensive player in the nfl. he has yet to start a game for the redskins this year, playing in all three games as a backup. you saw his most action last week against the rams, but wasn't much of a factor. this week albert decided to talk, sharing some things that we haven't heard before. here is haynesworth with sara

walsh from espn on if he ever thought of not taking the $21 million bonus check the reds game him last season so he could play elsewhere. >> the check sat in my house for a couple of weeks before, you know, i cashed t. >> the $21 million check? >> uh-huh. >> what is your relationship with him now? >> it's fine. it's fine. everybody thinkse're standing in the hall, a long hallway with gun holsters and we're getting ready to drew on each other. it's nothing like that. we're completelyfine. i talked to him. it's very cordial. it's a fine relationship. >> i don't thi they're going out for beer, though. >> how do you not cash a $21 million check? >> he is thinking about it, you know. >> think about what? what is there to think about on a $21 million. >> good point. i was trying to explain it. i'm not going to now. >> $21 million. you run to the ba. >> you remember the story,

though, shanahan says if i'm giving you the check, you're doing whatever we want. ybe he did think about it. >> i don't think so. it was an embarrassing opening day of the ryder cup for the americans. not so much because of how tey played, but because they weren't prepared. you see, rain washed away most of the gulf with the u.s. leading in two of four mahes. the embarrassment came with the worst american wardrobe malfunction since janet jackson in the super bowl. the americans' rain suits weren't waterproof. it rained all day. well, they had to pay the price twice. the officials had to go buy the entire team replacement rain suits, the same suits that all the fans brought at the fortune tent. the grounds crew itself were trying to squeegee off the greens. very wet conditis here. jeff overton, the original rain suit. on the first hole, rain suits don't matte there. birdie putt goes in.
