Donovan McNabb: I did not throw up during Super Bowl loss

Donovan-McNabb-Terrell-OwensDonovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles struggled to move the ball late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XXXIX, and it ultimately cost them the game. McNabb was very inefficient with the two-minute offense, leading to rumors that he was physically exhausted and even vomited during the game.

McNabb wants to put all that to rest. In a recent Reddit AMA, McNabb was asked if he threw up toward the end of his team’s Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots. He seemed annoyed.

“No, I didn’t puke,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that we still talk about this 11 years after playing in the Super Bowl. But, no. That did not happen and hopefully we can stop talking about it. Once again, go watch the game tape.”

McNabb actually threw up during a game earlier that season, but there is no video evidence of him getting sick during the Super Bowl. It’s possible that folks remember the “puke game” and combine it with some criticism from Terrell Owens about how McNabb played in the Super Bowl.

McNabb has probably puked a couple times since he retired, but that would have been for an entirely different reason.
