The 2010 Point and Laugh at the Eagles thread

[Diomedes]

Yeah.  I'm not going to be reading that.

[paco]

yeah they were talking about that yesterday on wip

hugh douglas made a good point and said if that had really happened mcnabb would have easily dimed out the ref for saying that....probably right after the game but def in the days following when he was getting straight killed for it...he def wouldnt have waited two years and then dropped it in a magazine interview

Totally agree that he is full of it on this one, but to play devils advocate:

1) He always tried to play himself up in the media, blaming the refs would have hurt his image
2) Citizens the refs usually ends in a fine.



So while I don't believe it to be the case, it IS possible that it happened and he never said anything.

[ice grillin you]

no its not

he said the ref said there would be an additional five minutes added after the OT....no ref would ever say that

it wouldnt be remotely believable if he claimed the ref had said we go another quarter or we go till someone scores...but that fact that mcnabb said the ref told him we go another five minutes makes it a complete joke

[Rome]

i am so glad that bitch ass motherfarger is gone.   the fact that he had the balls to criticize an organization that catered to his every whim and spoon-fed him from the moment he arrived to the moment he left sickens me to no end.

farg you, donovan.  here's hoping you get sean taylor'd in washington.

[PhillyPhreak54]

where is jay to support that assclown?

Right here.

There was nothing outrageous in that interview and I enjoyed it.

The OT thing was stupid, but if you vultures noticed, the writer confirmed that is what he was told. But he is a dumbass for not knowing on his own, I agree.

Well, I mean, it is possible that the ref said something and he misheard him.  Stadiums are noisy.

[QB Eagles]

donovan is a flat out bitch and it takes insane blinders not to see that at this point

"The most important thing you have to do is handle it well," because Kevin can get fiery, and I said, "Don't do it, because once you get fiery, then all of the sudden you look like you're on the defense, and now they'll really start coming at you."

Wow

every whim? like what? just wondering. and wasn't that meeting common knowledge? that he asked for more weapons or more money? or was that the previous off season?

[ice grillin you]

^^^^
easily more of a mcnabb reach a rounder than j

j is just being stubborn at this point

but retard validly likes mcnabb

[Rome]

In public and in private they nursed him like an infant and it's indisputable that he was treated better than any other athlete who's ever played for the Eagles by the organization.

The comments he's made since he's left illustrate perfectly his victim mentality, and every teammate he's ever had who's criticized him for being weak and mealy mouthed has been proven correct now that he's gone.

Good riddance, Donovan.

The Eagles were fourth in the league in interceptions with 25, including a league-high nine by Asante Samuel and a career-high five by Brown. But they gave up a disturbing 27 touchdown passes, which tied for eighth most in the league and the most by an Eagles defense in nearly a quarter century.

"That's [lack of] communication across the board," Brown said of the 27 TDs. "I had people tell me, 'Well, it was your best year.' I said, 'Why?' They'd say, 'Well, you had more picks than you ever had.' But sometimes the fans and the media don't get the clips and the real film that really tells the truth about a football player.

"I'd much rather have a guy that's going to set a tone and be fundamentally sound every play, make consistent tackles, than have somebody who's just going to make big plays. That's me. And I know that's how most people think."

You don't have to have a Ph.D. in reading between the lines to figure out that the guy Brown is referring to in the previous paragraph is Samuel, who pretty much made it clear the last two seasons that interceptions trump all other responsibilities for a cornerback. In fact, he made it clear that interceptions were the only responsibility for a corner.

The Eagles made Samuel the highest-paid cornerback in the league 2 years ago and still couldn't get him to tackle or play press coverage. Brown, meanwhile, couldn't get the Eagles to rework the contract he signed in 2004, which led to his trade to the Browns.
