ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Are you like 12 years old?

15, rjssssssssss

Ahhhhhh, I didn't like it much, I thought he looked stupid, but thats like the pot calling the kettle black.

Let me ask you all this though, if TO had caught a pass and went out of bounds by the phone and did the same thing, what would you have thought of it?

could be the easiest most common sense answer ever

Burned before killed instead of the other way around.

I would've said "farg You! You piece of shtein, T.O.!" (but I say that everytime they throw his mug up on TV though) and moved on.  It was a taunt.  As an opposing fan, I'm not supposed to like it.  I'd be lying to you though if I told you that I would have looked at it as a big deal.

[Eaglez]

Amen to the phone thing; I loved it. Of course Jints, Cowboys and Racist fans all call McNabb classless now. Whatever; keep on phonin' home, 5.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

What's up man? How the hell are ya?

Not much man; I'm doing alright.  Finishing up my schooling while attempting to find a job in this horrible market.  Are you back in Texas or still in Phoenixville?  I haven't been back to the area for awhile. 

As for McNabb, it's always going to be difficult to tell what he truly thinks.  It will always be a love/hate relationship with the fans.  When the fans want to embrace him wholeheartedly they don't do so out of fear for getting too close for whatever reason (to reserve the ability to offer stinging criticism when he fargs up, maybe?  It probably carries more weight if you were a "hater" from the outset), and McNabb feels the same.  Must be some sort of vulnerability problem.  Bad childhood memories?

Dan Gross: McNabb's magic hoagie?

By Dan Gross
Philadelphia Daily News
THANKFULLY Donovan McNabb picked up his regular chicken-cheesesteak hoagie from Talk of the Town (3020 S. Broad) Saturday afternoon before the Iggles rolled up to East Rutherford to dwarf the Giants Sunday. We told you last week how the Birds were victorious several times on the road when D-Mac stopped into the steak shop for his last Philly meal before leaving.

After our report, B101's Morning Show with Tiffany and Michael had kicker David Akers on-air Friday, and he said that he would try a sandwich there. He did. The shop delivered a steak with provolone to Akers before the team departed Saturday. Akers, who previously had only 50 percent field-goal accuracy at Giants Stadium, went a perfect three-for-three on Sunday.

Eat 'em up again, McNabb.

America's darling - except in Philly

He's a sympathetic and popular figure all across America. Except in one town – Philadelphia

Elway, Bourque, Garnett, Manning, Bettis and the others were legends in their home cities as they chased their elusive championship. They could do little wrong – in Garnett's and Bourque's case with multiple fan bases. Bourque was so beloved in Boston, the city threw him a rally after he won the Stanley Cup for the Colorado Avalanche.

With those players, it was the country that warmed to them after they established a devoted following in their hometown.

McNabb, on the other hand, is doing it in spite of his local reputation. While he certainly has supporters – far more than is generally acknowledged – there is a portion of the Eagles fan base that still doubts and debates him.

"I'm gonna get ripped," McNabb told Yahoo! Sports Sunday following his playful phone antic late in the divisional victory over the Giants. "That is the story of my life. It's something to talk about: 'Donovan, what an idiot.' "

Philadelphia fans get a bad rap. They're painted as unreasonable and nasty when intense and demanding is more accurate. They are forever dealing with the day back in the 1960s when some people booed Santa Claus (who may have been drunk and deserved it).

Whatever. If you're going to label Philly fans dogs, then at least acknowledge that while they can be as mean as pit bulls, they're also as loyal as golden retrievers.

The Eagles would never need extra time to sell out a playoff game to avoid a local blackout as Arizona did two weeks ago. Never.

Being tough on sports figures isn't necessarily wrong. The fans aren't naïve. They expect the great effort and results.

They shouldn't apologize for calling out McNabb for too many interceptions, poor decisions or fatigue in a Super Bowl loss. Not playing well is the main reason people get on him. If he doesn't deliver a victory against the underdog Cardinals, he can expect more of the same.

donovan is such a Hoyda

[Tomahawk]

Hoyda or not, he's still a helluva good QB

[Diomedes]

Yep.

[AP]

He is a good QB. He's even better when they are not going pass happy and giving up on the run. He should stop dancing on the field until he gets better dance moves.

[Magical_Retard]

I love when he dances.

It means they are doing good/winning and it burns IGY up.
