McNabb to be booed (again)


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Return of the "Dirty Thirty"

Basic story: the guys who booed McNabb when he was drafted are getting back together to do it again.

Words from the prime organizer...

“I don’t like Donovan McNabb, because I always felt he was a phony,” Cataldi said. “He’s always been passive-aggressive, which doesn’t resonate well with the fans of this city. That’s my problem with him. We never connected to the fans in this town. They only wanted one thing from McNabb, a championship. Look at those great Flyers teams of the 1970s. They won championships and never had to buy another dinner in this town again. With all that talent, McNabb never delivered.”

McNabb may have his shortcomings, but he's still arguably the most successful Eagle quarterback of all time. And it's not like he asked to be sent to the Redskins.

Eagle fans should be saying "thanks for the memories", but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

lol this is such a joke.

the dirty 30 was always just one big joke then they were made into superstars. cataldi is the morning radio host up here and he has always hated mcnabb and has to be pretty emotional about it to get his ratings.

its funny because he is actually a really decent guy but plays this idiotic philadelphia fan base so well.

however, my thoughts on the booing are this: if i was at the stadium i would cheer him if he gets introduced. i think 75% of the people will do the same on sunday but the national media will only hear the 25% that is booing. and this thread will be updated, oh those animals in philly.

Last time I checked, Randall Cunningham was still well-beloved in Phili yet he didn't bring them a Super Bowl. McNabb is without a doubt the best Phili QB EVER. Period. This jackass is a pissy bitch. I bet he wasn't bitching when McNabb led them to the Super Bowl

Don't know if I agree with that. The Eagles have a couple of QB's in the Hall of Fame. And Jaworski was pretty good, especially considering he played in an era in which the defense could hit both the Qb's and receivers a lot more than they are allowed to now.

Give em credit. The pre-game ovation was nice. The booing in-game I understand.

Guess the "Dirty Thirty" aren't as influential as they thought :D

Can't say much for the Eagle fans on Fox pre-game, mind you, but then that's probably what they were looking for when they came up with that bit.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
