Mcnabb Stuff

[mav1234]

McNabb's been in the news recently for two stories.

First, some Washington radio sports hosts are convinced that he refused to wear a wristband because he thought it made him look stupid. A bunch of you likely saw this story on PFT.

I remember not long ago posters here were talking about the racism McNabb has faced in the past... and hell, he's gotten his share of lumps for one reason or another. But that story took a ridiculous turn recently, when a boxer Bernard Hopkins said that McNabb "had a suntan".

Hopkins also invoked race, pointing to his own dark skin and telling reporters: "Forget this. (McNabb's) got a suntan. That's all."

NFL player Donovan McNabb’s agent has released a statement that says former middleweight boxing champion Bernard Hopkins’ insinuations about McNabb not being black enough “are dangerous and irresponsible.”

Lol @ Hopkins Pimping Vick. Wtf has Vick ever done on the football field??

Lose in the playoffs thats what, same as McNabb...

apparently he's not black enough because he isn't tough enough.

I've heard people say McNabb was soft before.

“Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed?” Hopkins continued, according to the website. “Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He’s the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. ‘You’re our boy.’ He thought he was one of them.”

also an interesting quote from that story.

it's pretty sad. just goes to show that no one group of people has the corner on hatred.

Didn't McNabb play on a busted ankle vs Arz a couple years back?

Didn't he play hurt this past season?

[mav1234]

I have no idea. Personally, any QB who plays professional football is tougher than I am so I'm not gonna cast judgment, but I'm pretty sure he has played when he was hurt before.

In order to be black enough for Hopkins you have to have a criminal record.

Criminal Records > College Degrees

WTF is he talking about? Has Bernard ever played the game of NFL football? if he hasn't then he needs to shut the hell up. Was he talking about when Mcnabb was benched or does he think he's supposed to play on offense and defense?

From what i understand he's been on McNabb's case for along time now.

Hopkins is a Philly guy... Take that for what its worth.

That explains it........

[mav1234]

yeah, there were 'rumors' about him being soft after the superbowl loss.

Was that before or after he threw 4 TDs on a broken leg?
