This past week the fans in Philly have been going crazy over the Donavan McNabb situation(Football)---he was removed last week after the first half because he was having a bad game---in baseball when that happens they bring in relief pitcher and life goes on--in this case they claim he, McNabb, was "benched"---are starting pitchers termed benched when removed ?
Certainly two different trains of thought here----interesting , at least to me---your thoughts---why is one termed a "benching" and the other not?
