McNabb Didn’t Know Football Games Can End in a Tie
This is the reason that the Philadelphia Eagles will never a Super Bowl with Donovan McNabb as Quarterback. This may also explain why he threw 58 passes against the Bengals. Maybe he doesn’t doesn’t know it’s allowed by the rules to hand off to a running back two times in a row.
It’s plain and simple…. Donovan McNabb has to go.
Paging Rush Limbaugh!
Donovan McNabb didn’t know that NFL games could end in ties
Donovan McNabb’s team tied the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday, an outcome which came as a complete surprise to the 10-year NFL veteran:
What did … I mean … how can … wow. That’s it, wow. He didn’t know that games could end in a tie. You know who knows that games can end in ties? Everyone. Even Tony Siragusa knows that. Yet a quarterback who has led his team to four NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl didn’t know. I mean, it’s not like the referee says it before every overtime session! (And to those who think he’s joking, he’s not. Donovan laughs at his own jokes more than Jon Stewart; his demeanor was far too serious for that to be a joke, despite what his inevitable excuse is today.)
What did Donovan think that “T” section in the standings was next to the “W” and “L”? Was he confused when he had to run a hurry up offense with two minutes left? And in 2002, when his team played the 9-6-1 Falcons in the playoffs, did McNabb think those numbers represented the Atlanta area code?
Maybe athletes’ lack of knowledge about the sports they play is more widespread than we know. (This would explain Joe Morgan.) A friend of mine who played college football had no clue that there wasn’t a two-minute warning in the college game. But I just emailed him and even he knew that NFL games end in ties.

Bernard Hopkins Echos Rush Limbaugh
Bernard Hopkins Echos Rush Limbaugh
Bernard Hopkins just says what every Philadelphia Eagles fan is thinking and if he was white people would be calling him another “Rush Limbaugh“. Nobody else in the media has the guts to tell it like it is. They don’t want to be labeled a racist.
I agree McNabb would be better off playing in Chicago.
Bernard Hopkins once again didn’t mince words when voicing his criticism of Donovan McNabb during Comcast SportsNet’s Monday Night Live program.
Here’s part of what Hopkins said when asked about where the Eagles stand this year:
“Some people are athletes, still good, but don’t have that extra ‘I’m willing to sacrifice my life. I’m willing to sacrifice what I have to sacrifice to win.’ … People never forgot when things happen, they see a guy crumble under pressure. Whether they throw up on the highway, whether they throw up on the court, whether they throw up on the football field, when people see that, that sticks in the back of their mind.”
Hopkins was obviously referring to the Eagles’ Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. Some of you made the same reference in our live chat Sunday night when John Madden said McNabb looked winded as the Birds’ offense failed to get a play off before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter.
Hopkins continued: “Every athlete should have that killer instinct in him, especially if you the quarterback… If he’s not right here and here [pointing to heart and head], and don’t want it, the team feel the vibes…”
Up to this point in the interview, Hopkins had not mentioned McNabb by name. Host Ron Burke asked Hopkins specifically if he questioned McNabb’s ability to take the Eagles to the promised land, and Hopkins responded, “Years ago, years ago.”
Hopkins went on to say that he thinks McNabb would be better off playing in Chicago, where he’s from.
“The reason things are the way they are is because of the money wrapped in him. They can’t get rid of him,” Hopkins said.
McNabb’s former teammate and current WIP host Ike Reese was sitting next to Hopkins during the conversation. He shook his head in disagreement during the interview and told Hopkins he was wrong as the segment concluded.
Again, this is not exactly breaking news, considering Hopkins has criticized McNabb for years, but just thought I’d pass along the latest installment.
