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.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      The problem with drafting a DE/EDGE high in the 1st is the bust factor.  That position group busts at a scary rate.  We HAVE to hit our first 3 rounds.  Cant take chances on tweeners or potential guys.

      Man folks right on this site said Deion was gonna follow his son to the nfl and have a big impact on his draft stock with his interference and yet we have seen no such thing. He just signed an extension to stay in Colorado for the foreseeable future. The only thing we have seen is so called experts try to tank shedeurs stock with false accusations and rumors and deion just had to step in and shut it down. This why you have to stop listening to what certain people say. Too much hate and emotion in most opinions.

      Reason for Liking or Disliking Prospect X at 8 Overall

      That's sound logic! I think we could make a case for a few players. I know its not popular  with a few but Warren gives to the  identity we want. Tremble is mostly a blocker. Sanders flashed late but mostly a receiving  threat at the moment. Warren is an automatic 1st down, run blocks, runs the ball and can even line up and throw it. To me he is if you took the Taysom Hill and actually could play tight end too. I just think looking at Goedert, Kelce,  Laporta, Hoeckenson, Baltimore Tight ends, Knox and Kindcaid and etc... all the  last few teams had stellar Tight end play. Warren allows you to be unpredictable  on offense bc he is equally good at being a target, as he is a blocker. Don't want to run Bryce on a qb sneak, plug Warren in with the threat to pass. I would be happy with him, Walker or a few others. As long as the player isn't riding the bench year 1.
