Terrel Owens is a cancer. McNabb is a FAR better person, role model.
"And to say if we had Brett Favre, that could mean that if you had another quarterback of a different descent or ethnic background, we could be winning. That's something I thought about and said, 'Wow.' It was definitely a slap in the face to me. Because as deep as people won't go into it, it was black-on-black crime."
- Donovan McNabb, on comments made by Terrell Owens(2/2/06)
Or these from McNabb:
In that situation, it was kinda like, 'That's unreal.' That's just like me saying, 'If we had Steve Largent, if we had Joe Jurevicius, we'd be undefeated. He'll now have to answer the question for the whole week about me saying it.
It was definitely a slap in the face to me. Because as deep as people won't go into it, it was black-on-black crime. I mean, you have a guy that has been criticized just about all his career and now the last criticism is that I'm selling out because I don't run anymore, by an African-American.
And to say if we had Brett Favre that could mean that if you had another quarterback of a different decent or ethnic background, we could be winning. That's something I thought about and said, 'Wow.' It's different to say if we had Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Steve McNair, Aaron Brooks, Byron Leftwich. But to go straight to Brett Favre, that slapped me in the face...”
Now mind you, all of these quotes were made BEFORE Rush Limbaugh said:
That McNabb is "not as good as the media perceived him to be." He continued by saying that "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
Rush was forced to resign.
McNabb responded with this gem: "It's sad that you've got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal."
So McNabb believes only certain blacks can talk about race, and he can play the victim card all he wants, but as soon as Rush says something about race, he suddenly forgets all his past racial statements.
Terrell Owens is skin cancer, McNabb is leukemia.
