The 2010 Point and Laugh at the Eagles thread

[SD]

97.5 is apparently going to have McNabb on this friday night to "Ask him the questions you want him to be asked"

So they're having their own 'Ask an Eagle', pg won't be happy that somebody copied her idea.

[Munson]

I think it's fake. And if it isn't, it's embarrassing that Philly would send 97.5 to ask the questions and not the pulse of the city, 610.

They're in the clear as PG has no rights to "Ask a Former Eagle"

[SD]

That's right, but they could title it 'Ask a Racist'

[shorebird]

I can't help but wonder if, when McNabb retires, and if he comes back to philly to retire as an Eagle, if the crowd will boo him on the way out as the dirty thirty booed him on the way in.

[Diomedes]

I hope so

[Rome]

If by boo you mean launch RPG's at him, then yes.

[MDS]

if they retire his jersey and have some kind of donovan mcnabb day, and he gets booed, that will finally send him over the edge. he will finally break down and cry, which will be fitting considering all the times hes had to fight away tears because of the what the mean fans the mean media have said about such a perfect gentleman like donovan. itll be hysterical.

[General_Failure]

Don't be so bitter, MDS. It'll be a great day. McNabb will come out, and see something hidden under a tarp. Cuzin Ed will introduce him and pull the cover off the tarp, unveiling a Big Wheel tricked out in midnight green. McNabb will get on and start pedaling around the field, waving to the crowd.

Jackson: Mornhinweg questioned my toughness after concussion
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 11, 2010 3:47 PM ET
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson says that after he suffered a concussion during the 2009 season, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg questioned his toughness and pressured him to return to the field.

"I can remember we went up to New York [Week 14] - that was a huge game for us," Jackson told Sporting News. "The week before, [the Giants had] beaten Dallas and I didn't play [at Atlanta] because I had a concussion. It was iffy if I'd come back and play. Our offensive coordinator, Marty Mornhinweg, said some things, trying to question my toughness. I was like, 'Coach, I just got a concussion. This [is] my brain. If it's anything else, my shoulder, whatever, I'm going to play.'"

Jackson's comments came from a Sporting News interview that we've mentioned a couple of times because it led to a back-and-forth between Jackson and Donovan McNabb, and because Jackson demonstrated supreme confidence in his and the Eagles' abilities.

But I hadn't noticed the comments about Mornhinweg until I saw them at the Off the Record blog, and the comments about Mornhinweg are a bigger deal than the comments about McNabb.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made clear last season that he expects every NFL team to take concussions seriously, and that decisions about when players can return to the field after concussions are to be made by doctors. If the attitude in Philadelphia is that those decisions are to be made by assistant coaches, then Goodell may need to get in touch with the Eagles' coaching staff and remind them of the league's concussion policies.

Fire Marty, replace with Gruden, everybody gets angry and drunk!

[Sgt PSN]

I was like, 'Coach, I just got a concussion. This [is] my brain.

Why football players get concerned about the least frequently used part of their body is beyond me.

[ice grillin you]

marty has never used his so why should anyone else get to have one

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Good point.  He's the guy who took the wind in sudden death overtime.

HOF bad decision
