Donovan McNabb is Right

Listen you ignorant boob. You obviously do not understand the difference between Hell with a capital H and without capitalization. And by the way, two years EOD/SWD, two in Viet Nam and four in the Middle East makes me feel sorry for phoney toughguys like you.

I would counter your stats with 3 Pro Bowls and a QB Rating of 84.3 (2001) and 86.0 (2002) is putting up good numbers. If you want to talk about an over rated and over inflated QB – Kurt Warner is the top of the list and I do remember Rush defending Warner to start over Bulger this season.

Rush could have approached this a dozen different ways such as Eagles had great defense that carried him, he had a better O-line, the running game was solid during those years but now they can't establish the run, they were playing weaker opponents, etc etc – but instead of bring up sports knowledge – Rush decides to play the race card. And even from a "common man’s" perspective – a vast majority of people didn’t say the reason why McNabb got so much hype was because of his race – but believe or not he actually won games and put up good numbers.

So yes it is my opinion that Rush’s sports knowledge is severely lacking and I saw further evidence of that of Rush playing the race card instead of a true sports analysis – and I find it interesting the number of people who will defend their icons regardless of actions and call them on it. Very similiar to mind set of Clinton supporters.

And FYI Reagan was a great politician though his acting skills were so-so.

What if Rush had said something like:

"McNabb is the greatest quarterback since Unitas and it is a good thing because the media folks have been really anxious for a black quarterback to make good"?

Answer: There would only be one Rush story today instead of two. What McNabb really was upset about was the comment that he was overrated.

Sorry boobie, I overlooked your sixth grade screed and eighth grade thinking. Look, the conservative movement needs thoughtful people on its side, not baboons. You're the kind of guy who goes to a football game, throws up on the person in front of you, and thinks he is a great comic. Let me guess, you're on your third marriage and you're behind in alimony and child support payments.

Buzz off, troll.

[gaspar]

Man, are you an easy mark.

[Willie Green]

LOL! It was obvious from the personal attack in your very first post that you were trolling for "easy marks", doofus.

Go play your adolescent games elsewhere.

[Spok]

It's a sad byproduct of arrirmative action that you often question if people of certain ethnicity succeeded on their own merit or not. The left tried to trash Clarence Thomas with that accusation-talk about your racists!

My such tough language, I sure hope no 12 year olds stumble on this thread. Hell is hell, unless your teaching Sunday School it's swearing. As for phoney toughguys maybe you shouldn't be looking at your reflection, no toughguyness here. Just telling you how it is, if you want live sports without drunkeness (and all the things drunkeness implies) stick to events that happen on college campuses, booze is illegal there (though watch out for tricky zoning, many schools have gotten quite creative in defining what's on and off campus). In the world of professional sports there are certain areas of certain stadiums (and some whole stadiums) that children simply shouldn't be brought to, but don't go blaming the entire world just because you stumbled into one of the NFL's bad neighborhoods.

[gaspar]

I don't blame the entire world. I blame apologists like you and the cowardly owners who just want to fill seats.
