Martin Would Be Proud
MLK, Jr., that is...
To say that T.O. is not my favorite football player is more than a bit of an understatement. Donovan McNabb sure isn't much better, especially when he does stupid stuff like this:
You need to get over yourself. You will never go down in the annals of football greatness as a great QB. You're not bad... you made it to the NFL, and you don't do that by being mediocre. But, you're not great, not even in a good year. And, let's face it... this past season was not a good year.
Way to go, playing the race card. Rush was right... the only reason you get the amount of press that you do is because of the color of your skin... because YOU won't let anyone forget what color that is.

Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb injected a race element into his rift with Terrell Owens on Wednesday, saying the receiver's criticism amounted to "black-on-black crime."Yeah, like, "wow...",Donna. You're exactly right- it's a complete and total slap in the face to think that, even if he did have a less-than-stellar year, Brett Favre, who will go down in history as one of the greatest QB off all time, could still run QB circles around your sorry arm. No, Donna, it would be no different if he had said Leftwich or Culpepper or McNair (although they all still ran circles around your sorry arm all year). T.O. wasn't saying that the Eagles would have done better with a WHITE QB. He was saying that you STUNK this year. Yeah... I can see how it would be easy to get those two things confused.
In an interview with ESPN, McNabb rehashed some of the low moments of his relationship with his teammate, making fun of Owens' driveway apology and bringing up the race angle.
In November, responding to a question from Michael Irvin during an ESPN interview, Owens said Philadelphia would likely be in a better situation if Brett Favre was the quarterback instead of the banged-up McNabb.
Not long after that, an NAACP leader criticized McNabb for "playing the race card" in explaining why he didn't run the ball as often as he used to. (you know it's scary when I agree with the NAACP- they're usually nothing more than useful tools of their leaders and the DNC. -B)
..."It's different to say, 'If we had Michael Vick or Daunte Culpepper or Steve McNair or Byron Leftwich," McNabb said of four black starting quarterbacks. "But to go straight to Brett Favre, that kind of just slapped me in the face like, 'Wow ...'"
