Did he really just say that?

Did he really just say that?

It’s not uncommon for a professional athlete or coach to give the media a sound clip that will be played for years to come.

How many times have we heard Jim Mora’s rant about the Colts making the playoffs?

How many times have we heard Allen Iverson downplay the importance of practice?

Terrell Owens, Randy Moss or Chad Johnson can usually be counted on to say something that we can talk about all week, but we have a newcomer to the group.

Donovan McNabb didn’t know that there were ties in the NFL???

"I've never been a part of a tie. I never even knew that was in the rule book," he said after Sunday’s game. "It's part of the rules, and we have to go with it. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately, with the rules, we settled with a tie."

Are you kidding me? He’s been in the league for 10 years and the last tie was in 2002. You could argue that players don’t pay attention to the outcome of other games, but McNabb and the Eagles actually played the Falcons that season after Atlanta had taken part in that tie.

Andy Reid tried to defend his signal caller by saying that there are rules that players don’t know about, but I’m not buying that excuse. We’re not talking about some obscure rule about laterals or if there is a 10 second runoff on a false start in the last 2 minutes of a game. Just because ties don’t happen often, doesn’t excuse McNabb on this one.

One thing is for sure…Donovan won’t forget that ties are possible because he’ll hear his sound bit well after he’s done playing in the NFL.

Fast, Being A Punk & Stupid Is No Way To Go Through Life

While most of the nation was laughing hysterically at DeSean Jackson’s blunder on TV last night. I must admit, I almost fell off my chair in disbelief and had to repeatedly wipe my eyes because I couldn’t believe what I just saw.
His actions disgusted his head coach Andy Reid & just about every fantasy football owner in the country that needed those 6 points that were taken away from them once officials confirmed that he let the ball go before entering the end zone.
How can a professional athlete get so excited about his first NFL touchdown on Monday Night Football that he completely forgets to cross the pile ons before tossing the ball like a teenager does a pack of cigarettes that he’s not suppossed to have?
DeSean’s new nickname for the rest of the season should be “Premature Jackulation” for celebrating what could have been a 61 yard touchdown strike too early!
Lucky for “D. Jackulation”, the Eagles are way to thin at receiver to bench him and it looks like the NFL’s next hybrid receiver may be Donovan McNab’s new favorite target on the team!
Regardless of talent, I think the Eagles should force DeSean Jackson to run 100 61 yard go routes in practice every day and tape every single one of them with a slow motion camera to make sure he crosses the white stripe before alowing him to go home.
If that’s not good enough, maybe he should start taking 1 pill of Ropex everyday to help him last a little longer to make sure he gets the job done!
Hopefully DeSean realizes that Fast, Being a Punk and Stupid Is No Way To Go Through Life!
