McNabb on NFL Network, NFL Live, SportsCenter, etc.

as much as andy frustrates the hell out of me with his public attitude you have to somewhat repsect the fact that hes never changed and has stuck to his guns....mcnabb can do the same any time he wants...this time he chose not too

my only response to that is this.  maybe, just maybe Donovan knew that this issue was so huge and it was going to roll into next year, into camp, into preseason, into the season.  maybe he felt that he was going to have to comment on it sometime.  so, he does it now and gets it out of the way.  now, whenever anybody else asks him about it, he can say that he's already addressed it and move on.

This guy gets it.

Why say something in the middle of the season where it will just blow up exponentially on him... but don't let it leak into next season.  Say your piece when it's all over... put it behind you... move on.

[ice grillin you]

then andy also HAS to come out on it asap so that he isnt pressed on it all next year

Andy isn't the one that Owens verbally attacked & had his character/skills questioned publically. The Reid/Owens relationship isn't the focus of the media's nor the publics interest, so he doesn't need to come out on anything.

[ice grillin you]

so he doesn't need to come out on anything.

exactly...and neither did mcnabb...especially in the idiotic way he did


i wish TO well...we need to move on...thats the last time im addressing anything related to this topic

He "gets it" because he agrees with you?  Bull.

The best time for Donovan to address this issue would have been either immediately, after T.O. was no longer affiliated with the Eagles, or NEVER.  Period.

Plus, we're getting off the fact that what he said was absolutely retarded.  Just the fact in and of itself that he said SOMETHING is not a large issue compared to him pulling the race card unnecessarily or calling out teammates in general for worrying about getting paid or receiving individual honors.

I hope Kathy Bates hobbles his ass with a sledge hammer.

sweet.  i get it.  i'm pumped.

I'm sick of the drama.  Fed up with it.  Last season simply was not fun.  And it's not because the Eagles didn't win the division, or make the playoffs or play well.  Because I've experienced plenty of disappointing years as an Eagles fan. 

It wasn't fun because there was no focus on football.  It was all about TO and McNabb and Rosenhaus and this and that and everything in between.  But it was never about the Eagles. 

Even 2004 was a not so fun year in many ways because the focus was never really about the Eagles.  It was still about TO.  It just wasn't as annoying because winning will have that effect on you.  And the fact that the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl made it even easier to ignore. 

I wanted TO to be an Eagle as much as anyone.  I love the way he plays the game.  Nothing that he does on the field is worth the chaos that he brings with him.  He was brought in for 2 reasons. 

1.  Get the Eagles over the NFCCG hump.
2.  Win the Super Bowl. 

He did neither.

he called no one out. no names are mentioned.

[ice grillin you]

he called no one out. no names are mentioned

thats true...mcnabb was fair in the sense that he alienated the whole team instead of just a few specific guys

just out of curiousity....why do you care if he says anything or not?

what difference does it make?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You don't think they know who they are?  You can't figure out who they might be on your own?

I know I can name some:

Lito
Westbrook
M. Lewis
Parry
