This isn’t terribly surprising. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Minnesota Vikings will release QB Donovan McNabb today. He’ll be subject to the waiver process with $1.5 million left on his contract this year. “Filed to ESPN: Vikings plan to release Donovan McNabb today, according to a league source,” Schefter tweets. The move isn’t surprising [...]
Minnesota Vikings QB Donovan McNabb was benched during an awful loss to the Chicago Bears a couple of Monday nights ago, despite the fact that he wasn’t playing poorly. Truth be told, he hasn’t been bad for the Vikings this season, even though he’s far from what he used to be. So, he got benched [...]
The Minnesota Vikings are off to a slow but-not-dreadful 0-2 start to their season. While Donovan McNabb did next to nothing in their season-opening loss to the Chargers, the team still had the lead for most of the game. In the second game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team again squandered a late lead [...]
It was common knowledge for some time that the Washington Redskins had soured on Donovan McNabb and wanted him out of town. But, when the question of who would start in his place came up, everyone thought Mike Shanahan was joking when he said he liked John Beck. Really? Really. No one believed him until [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a deal that will send QB Donovan McNabb to the purple guys. The only thing now is that McNabb has to agree to a new contract for it to go through. McNabb signed a ridiculous extension last season [...]
Anyone who watches football knows that Rush Limbaugh has a bit of a history with Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb. Back in 2003 when McNabb got off to a rough start, Rush made comments on ESPN’s NFL Countdown that essentially said that he never thought Donovan was that good and that the media had been [...]
By now you’ve probably heard the story that Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan claims that he asked Donovan McNabb to wear a wristband this past season so that he could remember the plays better. It was an entirely new offense for him after playing in the same system from 1999-2009. So, it doesn’t sound [...]
Whether or not Carson Palmer ever plays a down of football again in the NFL is subject to an individual’s opinion. He says he’ll never play for the Cincinnati Bengals again and will retire if he’s forced to do so. Bengals owner Mike Brown says Palmer isn’t going anywhere. Who will blink first? Well, if [...]
Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb has been doing some guest hosting or whatever for ESPN this week down in Dallas at the Super Bowl. As such, he’s getting asked about what is happening with him and the Redskins. “As of right now, I’m definitely a Washington Redskin,” McNabb told Mike Tirico. “I signed a contract [...]
Who knows how good the numbers could be of San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis if he had anyone remotely competent throwing the ball to him? Surely, he can’t wait for the Niners to be done with the Alex Smith’s and Troy Smith’s of the world. His preference for next year? Washington Redskins QB [...]
Another year, another playoff loss. It is routine in Philadelphia to spend the month of January deciphering who is to blame for another loss in the post season. The only difference this year is that no one can point a finger at Donovan McNabb. Now, I’m sure someone right now is still cursing 5 for [...]
With the Eagles hosting the Packers this weekend, it is only right to remember one of the greatest and most meaningless plays in Eagles history. 4th and 26. At the time, it was the greatest thing since 4th and 25 and even that one was only marginally better than 4th and 24. At any rate, [...]
Donovan McNabb’s agent, Fletcher Smith, came out recently and blasted the Washington Redskins and their treatment of his client. He said a bunch of stuff that we all knew that McNabb agreed with, but that the QB denied to offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. “I believe there is tension between Donovan and Kyle that’s rooted in [...]
This is crazy. Kelli Johnson of Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Washingon Redskins will start Rex Grossman this week against the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Donovan McNabb has been benched and apparently it’s not a popular decision. “Just learned that Rex Grossman is starting over McNabb Sun in Dallas; I’m told Redskins Lockeroom is divided [...]
It’s not just that the Washington Redskins are a bad team. They are just flat-out bizarre at times. Last week against the Detroit Lions, QB Donovan McNabb was benched in favor of Rex Grossman at the two-minute drill. We were then fed about 14 explanations over the following days about why that happened. All explanations [...]
Nothing like giving Donovan McNabb more motivation before a big division game. As if McNabb wasn’t hell bent enough to show everyone that his benching was a bunch of crap, now he can get fired up by the comments of former teammate Trent Cole. Cole went on SIRIUS NFL Radio on Friday and basically said [...]
We were over at P.J. Whelihan’s in Cherry Hill, NJ Tuesday night for some Chase event with former Eagles players. It was a Q & A with pictures and autographs with G. Cobb, Brian Mitchell, Mike Quick, Ron Jaworski, Tra Thomas and Fred Barnett. And of course when you talk about the Philadelphia Eagles, a [...]
Mostly all of us were pretty shocked when Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan decided to bench QB Donovan McNabb for the final drive against the Detroit Lions last week. Rex Grossman went in, reached into his bag of tricks, and delivered a fumble returned for a TD. McNabb hasn’t been great this year, but [...]
As if it wasn’t weird enough in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys stinking up the joint (again) and the Philadelphia Eagles not being able to decide which mediocre QB to start, now the Redskins are joining the circus. Specifically, they decided that Rex Grossman gave them a better chance to win with two [...]
Nationally, Angelo Cataldi of 610 WIP in Philadelphia might be best known for leading “The Dirty 30,” a group of “passionate” Philadelphia Eagles fans, up to the 1999 NFL Draft to show their support for Texas RB Ricky Williams. But, locally, those who know him and his radio show know that he’s a rabble rouser [...]
My job as an amateur non-journalist is to please NFL fans with bold predictions and game insight. You may call 1-800 numbers for Joey Bambino’s ‘lock of the week,’ but what he tells you isn’t the same thing he tells the next guy. It’s his job to get 50% of the money on one side [...]
Let me preface this by saying that I have nothing against Kevin Kolb. This post isn’t about whether or not he’ll ever be a good starting QB in the NFL. This post is about people being accountable. Whether it was the media or fans, there are a lot of people that we’d like to hear [...]
We mentioned earlier that there were rumors of the Washington Redskins and Tennessee Titans working a trade for disgruntled lineman Albert Haynesworth. While that’s still possible, the team’s quarterback doesn’t think that shipping Haynesworth out of town is a good idea. In fact, Donovan McNabb says that the team can’t win without him. “Albert is [...]
It was pretty clear to everyone in the free world that the Arizona Cardinals didn’t want Kurt Warner to retire. It wasn’t just that he played so well for them, it’s that the alternative was Matt Leinart, and he’s not very good at football. It would seem that the Cardinals don’t think he’s very good [...]
At the end of Brian Brohm’s junior year at Louisville, it was assumed that a strong senior year would make him the No. 1-overall pick in the NFL Draft that following year. That didn’t happen and he didn’t look so hot as a senior. So, he fell to the Green Bay Packers in the second [...]
