The Washington Redskins have decided to start Rex Grossman over Donovan McNabb at quarterback in Dallas on Sunday just a month after signing McNabb to a much-ballyhooed contract extension, according to multiple media reports, which cite anonymous sources.

That seems awfully racist.
The Cowboys pass defense will make Rex look like Dan Marino.
I am a Dallas fan and their defense stinks.
Obama could put up 300 yards against them
Dan Snyder is the worst owner in the league. How many big price free agents has he bought now that didn’t last more than a season or two.
And after their $100 million D-Lineman (Haynesworth) was suspended for the remainder of the year. Dan Synder is quickly turning the Redskins into the Clippers of the NFL -- a joke, at best.
A lot of teams are giving long contracts with huge dollars to questionable players these days. Some of these guys will be paid for years after they retire or change teams.
Its crazy.
Rush proven correct on his Monday Night Football comments..
$100 says Bret Favre will be loudly mentioned as a replacement.
If the Cowboys were smart, they were start Stephen McGee at QB over Kitna, Kitna’s done a nice job, but it would be nice to see what McGee can do.
I don’t doubt anything anymore.
Donovan was a crybaby when here in Philadelphia and is still a crybaby...
Haven't seen OBAMA ask for a CAP on PLAYER'S SALARIES.
I almost expect Snyder to sign Jamarcus Russell.
Rush proven correct on his Monday Night Football comments..
Wrong. 100% wrong.
McNabb had a number of productive years with the Eagles after Rush’s comments. McNabb led the Eagles to a superbowl after Rush’s comments.
Like all players though, time has finally caught up with McNabb. With age, his skills have finally deteriorated.
Rush will wait in vain by the phone for ESPN to ring up an apology.
A lot of these “long contracts with huge dollars” are actually a myth though, filled with what some sport commentators call “ego clauses”. Like Donovans contract actually has almost no guaranteed money, and is all back loaded after an option for next year, and a bunch of it is on incentive clauses that hinge on things like winning multiple consecutive Superbowls. The Skins can get out of McNabb’s “$70 million” contract without paying him another dime after this season, if they take to long to dump him they could wind up on the hook for $2.5 million. Most of the super contracts we’re seeing these days are like that, there’s a big shiny number that “could” be paid to the player but in reality they’ll be lucky to get 1/4 of that big shiny number.
Yeah. It's not like they're playoff bound. I'll bet nobody knows what McGee is capable of. The Cardinals won with their third stringer last week and the Lions won with theirs last week too.
Rush’s comments were directed at the liberal sports media, for fawning over Mc Nabb simply because of his skin color.
McNabb has been a good quarterback, but vastly over rated all along. He was productive, but he was not the superstar the media made him out to be. I am not a McNabb hater, in fact he’s dealt with a lot of undeserved BS over his career, and handled himself relatively well throughout. Seems like a nice guy, and has performed well. Rush was correct, however, in his commentary.
