Mcnabb Stuff

McNabb's been in the news recently for two stories.

First, some Washington radio sports hosts are convinced that he refused to wear a wristband because he thought it made him look stupid. A bunch of you likely saw this story on PFT.

I remember not long ago posters here were talking about the racism McNabb has faced in the past... and hell, he's gotten his share of lumps for one reason or another. But that story took a ridiculous turn recently, when a boxer Bernard Hopkins said that McNabb "had a suntan".

Hopkins also invoked race, pointing to his own dark skin and telling reporters: "Forget this. (McNabb's) got a suntan. That's all."

apparently he's not black enough because he isn't tough enough.

I've heard people say McNabb was soft before.

“Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed?” Hopkins continued, according to the website. “Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He’s the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. ‘You’re our boy.’ He thought he was one of them.”

also an interesting quote from that story.

it's pretty sad. just goes to show that no one group of people has the corner on hatred.

WTF is he talking about? Has Bernard ever played the game of NFL football? if he hasn't then he needs to shut the hell up. Was he talking about when Mcnabb was benched or does he think he's supposed to play on offense and defense?

From what i understand he's been on McNabb's case for along time now.

Hopkins is a Philly guy... Take that for what its worth.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
