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."

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.

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.

      Hornets actually have good young talent, but they just can't play good team ball.   Lee doesn't look like a good hire at HC so far.

      Apparently it did no good. Getting spanked by the Wizards…again!

      I'd be looking at mid to late round QBs every single draft simply because the potential ROI is so high. Hell, even if I have an entrenched starter and backup that wouldn't change the equation. Hit on one and I'd trade my entrenched backup to a desperate team and now I have a quality backup in a rookie contract to protect cap space and a potential asset to trade down the road or hell even develop into a starter if my starter is aging or has a career detailing injury or maybe the young guy simply proves to be better at some point. Once you get the the 4th or 5th round you're basically throwing darts at the board hoping to hit on something at that point. Most of those guys will prove to not be long for the league anyway.  I'm not saying reach on a guy just because he's a QB but if I have similarly rated prospects on the board and we're talking about a FB, a blocking TE, and a  OG with limited upside, well that's a no brainer to me. Roll the dice on the QB.
