FredEx: "somebody is blackballing me"

If you're fishing you might want to try and put some bait on the hook before dropping your line into the water.

Just a tip.

So I guess McNabb is to blame for Big Mouth yapping before the SB and patently failing to deliver.

And I guess McNabb is to blame for Big Mouth being unable to crack the starting lineup when he had guys like Johnson, Small, Thrash, Pinkston, G. Lewis, Na Brown, and more forgettable names competing with him.

I also guess the other QBs got in on the act when McNabb went down, because his production did not change when Detmer and McMahon were at QB, either.

I also guess that the rest of the entire NFL is going to side with McNabb, considering that Big Mouth can't seem to win a job anywhere in the NFL.

Is someone going to go that far on a limb and say that McNabb, Reid, Banner, and Lurie have that much pull with the NFL like that?

TO - talent = F. Mitchell.

I don't think Freddie got to see the Mike McMahon Experience.

I don't think Freddie got to see the Mike McMahon Experience.

Oops, wrong third-stringer. 

I meant A.J. Feeley. 

[Rome]

Feeley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> McMahon

And Feeley was nothing special.

McMahon will go down in the Jeff Kemp bracket of worst Eagles QB's ever.

Umm - he was someone who had to actually catch those knuckleballs. 

I saw this unfolding two years ago - Freddie was doomed when he dared to not genuflect at the altar of McNabbulous in public.  He did the unthinkable and berated one of the NFL's marketing darlings.  One major rule of surviving in this league is that you don't take public shots at "The Chosen Ones" - you issue nothing but praise (white lies are highly welcome), and do your part to help build the myth.  Freddie violated the rule, so he became Public Enemy #1 in the eyes of the bigwigs, who set out to make an example of him.  The quest to make Freddie pay reached bizarre heights - with Bill Belicic getting in on the action!

Sigh...the only thing wrong with the article is that Freddie has dug his hole even deeper.  Oops - but maybe that wasn't possible.

He should write a book. 

Stop wasting my bandwidth and the world's air.  Die immediately.

By the way - "I'm not going to say anything else, except that when he threw me the ball, I caught it. And it was never in stride. It was always one of those knuckleballs.

- That's why he's being blackballed - who the hell is he to throw McNabb under the bus?

I heart quoting 3 month old posts.  I especially heart quoting 3 month old posts from people who haven't posted here since then.  It's the internet equivilant of literally talking to yourself.  It's the heat, yo.

Yeah, but she's every bit as much of an idiot now as she was 3 months ago so it all works out.

Freddie wrote his obit with this team before the 2002 season when Reid had to bring in Antonio Freeman to man the slot--he reponded with 44 catches over 600 yards and 4TDs. If Freddie had 1/4 of the talent he thought he had, he would have fended off the challenge from an aging player.

Pretty funny with the exception of the last line:

Freddie Mitchell Camping at Pats' Field



FOXBORO, Mass (The Phat Phree News Services) ? Former Philadelphia wide out and notorious loud mouth Freddie Mitchell has resurfaced in the NFL?sort of.

Mitchell, despite brief auditions in Kansas City in 2005 and Dallas this season, hasn?t played in an NFL game since being released by Philadelphia, following a dismal one-catch performance in the team?s 24-21 Super Bowl loss to New England in 2004.

But Mitchell hopes that his latest stunt can change all of that.

Several reports came out of the New England front office Monday afternoon that Mitchell, a 2001 first-round draft pick, had stooped to camping in an RV near the player?s entrance at Gillette Field, presumably in hopes of landing a try-out with the receiver-impaired team he openly mocked both before and after Super Bowl XXVIX.

Adorning the RV are several crudely handwritten banners promoting Mitchell, including two that read, ?FredEx Youself A Super Bowl,? and, ?The People?s Champ Is Reporting for Camp.?

Reports also state that Mitchell has been seen doing push-ups, throwing a ball to himself and rehearsing intricate touchdown celebrations in the mostly vacant parking lot.

?It was pretty frightening, to see a grown man acting like that,? said Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. ?I was just pulling into the parking lot for our team meeting, and I look over, and all I see is just two hands extended upward, pressed up against the glass on the drivers side window, with ?first? and ?down? written on each hand with a magic marker.

?I had no clue as to what was going on, and then the man behind the hands jumped up, and running around, high-stepping and grabbing fake footballs out of the air, screaming, ?FIRST-DOWN FREDDIE MITCHELL HAS FIRST DOWN WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM, BABY! WOOOOOOO!?? recalled Brady. ?I thought to myself that it had to be a prank. I was half expecting Ashton Kutcher or Borat to jump out from behind a tree.?

Brady was one of several players that Mitchell accosted in bizarre fashion on Monday. Joining him was Rodney Harrison, the hard-hitting safety whose name Mitchell couldn?t recall in an interview prior to the 2004 championship.

?Guy comes runnin? up to me, yellin? ?Sorry I forgot your name, Mr. Rodney Harrison! Sorry I forgot your name, bro, but it?s all good! Let?s win some rings together, man! Like Han Solo and Darth Vader joining forces and ****! It?ll be tight!? and all types of other nonsense,? said a perturbed Harrison. ?I reminded him that even I had more grabs than him in his last game (Harrison caught two interceptions in the win), but it was like he didn?t even hear me.

?Brother done lost it.?

Head coach Bill Belichick, a man of few words, went so far as to flatly describe Mitchell as ?terrible? two years ago, and even in a year when people like Reche Caldwell and Doug Gabriel are fighting for the no. 1 receiver spot, he still stated with confidence that the services of the self-described ?Sultan of Slot? would not be needed.

?Can?t catch. Doesn?t shut up. Lost his marbles somewhere in Jacksonville. Not a chance,? deadpanned Belichick.

Although signing him isn?t on the radar, owner Bob Kraft said that he still didn?t know handle the precarious situation.

?We?re talking about a man who has reached total instability, and approaching him could be very dangerous,? said Kraft. ?My assistant told me that he even put on thick-rimmed glasses, a mustache and a big afro, along with some awful plaid suit that wouldn?t fit a sixth-grader, and he came into the reception area, claiming to be Mitchell?s agent ? ?Mr. Don King? ? and that he wanted to have a meeting with me, ?on Mitchell?s behalf.?

?Now that?s a guy," quipped Kraft, "that you avoid agitating at all costs."

Kraft indicated several options, but frowned on bringing in any authorities. ?I could have security remove him from the property. I could even have him arrested for trespassing. But what if he?s got an assault rifle in that trailer? Flashing lights could set the guy off, and I don?t want that on my conscience."


While Kraft said that he?s hoping Mitchell ?just gives up and just leaves? before the problem escalates, like any good boss, he has a back-up plan.

?If he doesn?t relent after the Cincinatti game, I?ll have some intern go out there with a letter saying that there?s a CFL team down in Tijuana that wants to offer him a long-term, six-figure deal. He?ll probably get so excited that he?ll be filing for Mexican citizenship before he remembers what 'CFL' stands for."

Lastly, in a related news item, all Eagles fans are being asked to recall that Mitchell was drafted ahead of Pro Bowl wide receivers Chad Johnson and Steve Smith in the 2001 draft.

Throwing himself the ball in the parking lot eh?
