Poor Donovan Mcnabb. He had a radio broadcaster made a racist remark towards him and ESPN. He had TO bashing him every day. For a long time, the Eagles never game him any weapons. He got booed at the draft. How much money does he make, by the way?
I love Donovan Mcnabb, but these offseason dramas and his sensitivity has gotten maddening. He refused to take blame at Tampa when he threw a pass to LJ Smith, inside the 5, with no timeouts, and we missed out on a FG before the half. His remark was something to the effect of "I would have done the same thing again." Stubborn. Then there is the black on black crime comment, which Derrick Gunn didn't understand. When he asked him to explain it, Mcnabb nastily replied "if you don't understand it, it wasn't meant for you to understand." What an arrogant comment, especially if you saw the tone with which he said it. When he goes on national shows like ESPN and Best bleep sports show, when asked about the fans, he kind of takes his little digs at us. He and his family still can't forget that he was booed at the draft, even though A) the fans weren't booing him, they were booing the pick and B), it was 30 guys in the Dirty Thirty drudged up by Angelo on WIP radio, not the entire city. Then there is the explanation about how they didn't know how long TO could go in the Super Bowl due to his injury, and that caused the last TD drive to be so long time-wise. He says this two years after the fact! Why even bring it up? His explanation made no sense...
It just seems like, with time, Mcnabb's skin has gotten thinner and thinner as opposed to thicker and thicker. Derrick Gunn reported tonight that Mcnabb was "peeved" about the Eagles drafting Kolb and that he hadn't returned any phone calls in two days...yet he had enough time to email Michael Smith a sportswriter that he was befuddled by the pick.
I love Mcnabb as a QB, and hope he is successful the next two years. However, because of his mentality, I am looking forward to 2009 when Kolb takes over...and perhaps we have a QB that is not just a talent but a leader as well...
