A Thread About Donovan McNabb Being A Hoyda

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

maybe people who are sensitive. Give me an example of something he said that pissed you off. Anything.

black on black crime

Why would that piss you off?  It was a dumb ass thing to say... and it blew up in his face as it should have... but why on earth would that piss someone off?  Who gives a shtein?

You hear him say, "black on black crime"... call him a dumb shtein... move on.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with Feva on this one for no particular reason.

[ice grillin you]

its def not for me but theres nothing wrong with loving mcnabb...but lets be honest here donnie is in bed with banner inc. so theres no chance you wouldnt ever take his side

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Most of me doesn't 'hate' him because he's a good qb and the best shot that the Eagles have of making a run in the short term. The rest of me completely hates him because he's unfunny and a choke artist and ugly and you just know that 35 minutes after he retires he will be 50 pounds overweight. Fat people are the worst.

pretty much sums it up right here

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'll never get the dislike people have for McNabb.

Name one other qb that you've ever seen act like he's just won the oscar after throwing a crucial int. I remember guys like Unitas, Marino, Elway, getting in peoples faces and leading a team. Smile?? I don't think so.

Oooh! McNabb not angry enough for you! You no like!

Please. Shore, people handle shtein differently. When I farg something up I've been known to laugh. The laugh is not "hahahahaha, I don't care!!" its "goddamn I'm a dumbass".

What is this fascination with wanting to see him punch shtein and scream?

Exactly.

And when he said it, the circus that surrounded it in Philly was amazing. The NAACP leader in PHL came out and spoke against it. The community activists.

It was a dumb comment and poor choice of words. But to get pissed or infuriated? When people have a mic in front of their face constantly for a decade, they're bound to say stupid things.

He's unfunny no doubt about it.

But the guy is the best QB to wear an Eagles uniform.

Jim McMahon, in his broken-down two minutes here clicked with the town more than all the years and all the results the current "Mc" has delivered. It's because its never purely all about w&l's - especially for Eagles QB's. It's why Randall was loved in the beginning and loathed by the end. It's why Vermiel is loved by many long after his descent into irrelevancy.

Eagles fans can take crushing losses - lord knows that's true. But never any quarter to those who don't embrace the unique nature that is this city's approach to sports. An anachronism of a bygone time? - perhaps, but ignore it at peril. And no it isn't about cheesesteak juice dribbling down the sleeve or how many times you show at Neshaminy Mall to sign whatever relic is thrust in your face.

And if that doesn't phase one from their cozy off-season perch in, say, Arizona, that's cool. But don't then play the petulant card.

So go ahead and rock Mike Schmidt ad infinitum - though no one pines for an "alumni week" with him on the prom float. (funny though, it never seemed to bother Schmidt they way something gets under McNabb's skin) Regardless, Schmidt did deliver a champ. Get one and then perhaps the epilogue will be more satisfying to all.

So...

gritty attitude and a quote machine > on the field performance?

Gotcha.

[JackStraw]

How would one stack Vermiel, Ryan, and Reid?

Like cord wood?

[QB Eagles]

I'm guessing you'd need some kind of crane to move Reid.

[shorebird]

Reid
Vermiel












Ryan

Ryan

i feel bad for you

[MadMarchHare]

I won't even pretend to give a farg about any of them.  Because none of them won me a SB.
That's right, it's all about me.

Ryan was a good coach in a lot of ways but he had a fatal flaw. He wasn't just competitive, he was pugilistic and had to fight in every situation. Whether punching Kevin Gilbride on the side line or the sneering "you have to ask the guy in France about that," he couldn't turn it off and that was ultimately his own undoing.

Where it became a problem was when he promoted this to such an extent his defense (Buddy's boys) became at odds with Randall and the offense, and you can't win with a team divided. It started with him encouraging fights in training camp and ended with playoff loss blaming. Not all the D was like that but "leaders" like Seth Joyner (like during his idiotic "vow of silence") gashed the team and pummeled Randall's fragile psyche.

i dont think mcnabb in bed with banner inc as much as perceived.  he may toe the company line but i think that's because he doesn't want to cause any problems or distractions.  not because he's a yes man. 

if he was in bed with banner i would like to think that they already would have worked out a new deal for him or at least be in the process of doing so.
