The point is that if he is ignorant and/or childish enough to throw race into the conversation than no, he shouldn't talk. It's embarrassing to him, the team and fans. Athletes are farging morons. They should be seen, not heard.

AAAAAAAAA-men.

He got out what he wanted to say and lets hope he moves on. Keep on rehabbing, talk to whoever he needs to talk to and get ready to win some football games. Because none of this shtein matters in August - February 2007.

Hicks believes McNabb has moved on

The separation in the Eagles locker room Donovan McNabb spoke of in Detroit is news to a teammate he chatted with recently. Guard Artis Hicks said his quarterback "looked like the same old Donovan" around the Eagles' dressing room the past couple of weeks, showing no ill effects from the criticism inflicted last season by Terrell Owens, who subsequently was kicked off the team.

"Donovan was running around, joking and doing the same old things he's always done," Hicks said. "It doesn't seem like he's been fazed by it. Everybody in that locker room knows who the leader is -- it's No. 5. To be totally honest, I think sometimes the media makes a lot more out of it than we do."

McNabb's published remarks at Super Bowl XL suggested the Eagles' "captain of the ship" was concerned with the morale of his crew.

In particular, McNabb wasn't thrilled a group of teammates he declined to identify wanted Owens to return to the Eagles after Andy Reid suspended the disgruntled talent four games for conduct detrimental to the team. Several teammates later attended the 32nd birthday part of Owens in Atlantic City.

Owens was deactivated the last five games of the season and won't be back with the Eagles in 2006. The Birds gave Owens and his agent permission to arrange a trade. The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly joined the growing field of suitors.

Attempts to reach McNabb were unsuccessful. In an ESPN interview McNabb reacted to criticism leveled by Owens with an adage.

"Forgive but don't forget," McNabb said. "I never forget. I always remember."

McNabb, lest Eagles fans forget, was booed on draft day by a small but vocal group that wanted the club to draft running back Ricky Williams with the second overall pick. McNabb used the snub as motivation.

In that respect, McNabb may never have closure.

Hicks thinks the quarterback got some relief when the Birds suspended Owens before their eighth game. The Eagles finished 6-10 after a 4-3 start with Owens.

"When they made the decision to deactivate (Owens), I think that gave Donovan some closure," Hicks said. "I think that took some of the pressure off of him. Looking back on it, that situation was dividing the locker room. Speaking for myself, I didn't fully realize it until later because I was focused on trying to do my job."

It's early but Hicks likes the vibes in the Birds' locker room. He senses a dramatic turnaround.

"I think everybody has to look in the mirror," Hicks said. "I think it's a matter of everybody getting back together and everybody getting healthy."

Hicks will say anything to keep his job.

i'm just waiting for Greg Richmond to chime in

i'm just waiting for Greg Richmond to come off the injured list for the first time ever

Right.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I just read the entire thing on ESPn and I have to admit...I liked a lot of what McNabb said. The only beef I had was the black on black statement.

I especially liked him saying some guys had a big head from going to the SB. That directly coincides, in my opinion, of why many teams struggle after SB seasons. I do not recall where I heard this, butI found it very interesting....someone said that nowadays BOTH teams are celebrated as winners because they just reach the SB. So much attention is given to the two who make it that when its all said and done even the losers still feel like they accomplished something. And I think that might be right on.

So I am glad he said what he said. Ego check for everyone who wears wings on their helmet in Philadelphia and the coaching staff who didn't prepare well enough.

You know he's ready to drop some bombs.
