Donovan McNabb

[Rome]

I watched it.  Although I had to fight the urge to puke a couple of times (no pun intended) it really wasn't too terrible.  Lots of genuine emotion from McDouche.

Now go away.

[ice grillin you]

i watched two minutes of it and had to turn it off.....guy is such a fraud

[SD]

I caught the highlights on sportsrise...my favorite part was when he said "I left it all out on the field and never complained"...except for the fans and when he said they showed their youth today etc.

[ice grillin you]

all he did was complain and pass blame.....for god sakes hes complained about being booed at the draft for 14 effin years....even tho he knows in his heart unless ricky williams' name was called there boos were gonna rain down

[PhillyPhreak54]

Is saying they showed their youth really complaining?

No.

[ice grillin you]

yeah that probably falls more under the category of tossin your teammates under the bus than it does complaining

[Sgt PSN]

Which means he was complaining about his teammates not being old enough, right? 

[ice grillin you]

good point

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol if Peyton Manning says that, or Brady, he's said to be a leader. Just telling it like it is.

Donovan says it and here comes the hater brigade

[ice grillin you]

brady or peyton would never do that period much less after a game their team lost and they played terrible in...what they do is go directly to the player...whereas the bedwetter puts a towel over his head and sulks on the bench....or remember the time he kept walking back n forth on the sideline trying to get away from TO....what a pathetic scene that was....he was like "i want my mommy make it stop"

whats even worse about it is that the bedwetter went after the most vulnerable people on his own team....the young players...pretty unbelievable when you think about it....then again he was never a leader which is why half his own team took the side of a psychopathic moron in the bw/TO war

Do you honestly believe that McNabb, overall, isn't thinner-skinned and far more passive aggressive than either of those guys? Let alone that it's silly to put him in with them, because they're surefire Hall of Famers, and he's more Hall of Above Average.

I'm not even a hater, but that's reality.

Peyton or Brady would never make that comment to begin with, especially coming off a game where either of them played like absolute shtein.  Here's the problem with that comment.

1.  McNabb threw an INT.  Was youth the problem?

2.  Leonard Weaver lost a fumble.  Was youth the problem?

3.  Vick lost a fumble.  Was youth the problem? 

4.  McNabb lost a fumble.  Was youth the problem? 

5.  The average age of that Eagles team was 27 years old. 

6.  The only "youth" on that offense were Maclin (rook), Jackson (2nd yr), Shady (2nd yr), and Celek (2nd yr) and he was obviously calling those 4 guys out with that comment. 

Rather than just saying something along the lines of "We sucked" he makes a comment that pushes the blame to rookies and 2nd year players while trying to absolve the (then) 10 year veteran QB of any wrong doing. 

It's cool that you're still a fan, but how the farg can you actually defend it?  I mean, I'm still a fan of his.......he was fun to watch for most of his career and won a lot of games for the Eagles, but I'll be damned if I'm going to try and defend him for his glaring lack of leadership and accountability. 

[Munson]

Pretty sure McNabb called himself out for not doing a good enough job during that same press conference

[Rome]

Jay defending McNabb is like Albert Speer defending Hitler.

He very well may have (I really don't remember the entire presser), but if I'm not mistaken he basically opened with the "we showed our youth" comment.  He put that out there first and foremost.
