Donovan McNabb is no stranger to playing the victim. Like many other superstar athletes, he has faced plenty of unfair criticism. Unlike many others who have been placed in similar situations, McNabb always lets us hear about it. In other words, …
Assuming the Colts don’t shock everyone and decide to take Robert Griffin III instead of Andrew Luck with the first overall pick in the draft next month, Griffin is going to wind up with the Redskins. It’s no secret that Washington traded …
In retrospect, Chris Kluwe should have never given his No. 5 jersey to Donovan McNabb. For starters, McNabb was absolutely no help to the Vikings. He quickly became a bench-warmer in Minnesota and Kluwe got on the field more regularly than he did. In …
The fact that Donovan McNabb was waived by the Minnesota Vikings and not a single team claimed him should tell us all we need to know. McNabb’s best years are behind him. No team in the NFL thinks he is capable of contributing at this point, …
Donovan McNabb was granted his request to be released by the Vikings Thursday. He’s now available to be claimed off waivers by other NFL teams. Given how poorly he played the last two years (he ended up benched by the Redskins and Vikings), we …
Although Donovan McNabb is only two years removed from the Philadelphia Eagles organization, it seems like a lifetime has passed since he was an effective NFL quarterback. McNabb’s fall from grace has been rapid, and as we all know his short …
Things are not going well in the world of Donovan McNabb. The former Pro Bowler has been benched by the 1-5 Vikings who finally realized that having a QB average fewer than seven yards per attempt is not a winning formula. So how did five spend his …

Anytime a veteran leader joins a new team, there is the question of whether or not that player will be able to keep his old number. More often than not, the new guy gets his way. That is especially the case when the new guy can help you win. …
The NFL is a passing league. Without solid, consistent play at the quarterback position, it is almost impossible for a team to have any sustained success. Consistency is the key. The Seattle Seahawks could sign Peyton Manning to a one-year deal and …
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh caused a controversy in 2003 when as an analyst, he said the media wanted to see Donovan McNabb succeed because he was black. The comment itself was an observation that cannot be deemed right or wrong because …
Bernard Hopkins has ripped on Donovan McNabb again, this time questioning his blackness. During a training session on Tuesday, Hopkins pretty much called McNabb an Uncle Tom. From the Philadelphia Daily News: According to Hopkins, McNabb had a …
Make no mistake about it — Donovan McNabb is not going to be a Washington Redskin next season. That does not, however, mean the offer isn’t on the table. McNabb has been openly frustrated about Mike Shanahan’s decision to bench …
When I first heard of the absurd news that Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was benching Donovan McNabb in favor of Rex Grossman at quarterback, I wrote sarcastically on twitter that McNabb was the one who missed two field goals and dropped an extra …
Mike Shanahan is officially not making any friends as coach of the Washington Redskins. Granted, the Albert Haynesworth situation is more a case of an overpaid diva acting like a douche, but Shanahan certainly doesn’t seem to be overseeing a …
