Donovan McNabb: "I was loved in Philadelphia" PFT

[T-RO]

What does it mean to be "loved" by Philadelphia fans? Do they throw AA batteries at you instead of those big D cells?

Good gawd that's the truth. I'll never forgive them for cheering when Irvin lay motionless. Some of that fanbase is missing the humanity gene.

 

[T-RO]

I disagree. I think he is way more insecure than your average NFL quarterback.

And he tries to hide it by to over-compensating the other way.

Seriously, what other QB in the league does that ridiculous dance crap coming into a playoff game?

wileedog, that was an awfully ridiculous little 'jig' he did and I really liked our chances after I saw him do that.

And I agree that over-compensating is often what you see with insecure people. But still fragile egos are common throughout sports...and that's no crime.

 

[CF74]

I am sure that they will love him quite a bit when he returns this year.

With the same "Joy" when he was drafted...

What does it mean to be "loved" by Philadelphia fans? Do they throw AA batteries at you instead of those big D cells? When they boo you for a bad play do they extend only one middle finger instead of both? Or does it mean that they drop an "F-bomb" only every other time that they mention your name?

I've browsed the Philadelphia News Eagles forum for many years, and the opinion on McNabb among their fans is very split. Many have wanted to get rid of him for years and are happy to see him go.

LOL...I completely agree with you...Philly Fans don't know how to love anything...its different degrees of hate.
They are truely some of the worst Fan base in America.

As Cowboys fans, we are familiar with the miserable scumbags who cheered when Irvin lay hurt on the turf. And, yes, they did boo Santa Claus. But as I indicated earlier, they also don't appreciate their own. The best example to me is from another sport. Mike Schmidt was the best 3rd baseman of his day. An obvious Hall of Famer while he played. Yet he was booed all the time by the fans there. Schmidt himself referred to their fans as out of control and the stadium as a mob scene. They build statues to guys like him in Chicago and St Louis. In Philly, they boo his rump off.

And if they don't respect a guy like Mike Schmidt, no way do they give love to someone like Donovan McChoke.

Rocky Balboa had heart.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Rocky Balboa had heart.

Yeah, but he lost it briefly in Rocky III and Mr. T put the whoopin on him for it. Racing on beaches with Carl Weathers was all McNabb really needed to succeed.

 

[casmith07]

Rocky Balboa had heart.

Rocky Balboa was a fictional character.

 

[zrinkill]

I said it before and I will say it again ....

It is sad that the most famous athlete in Philadelphia was make believe.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Rocky Balboa was a fictional character.

So is Donovan McNabb.

Fakest guy in the league.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Exactly.

And he's full of it when he talks about there not going to be any revenge, etc. During his intro PC with the Skins he tried to say playing the Eagles would just be like every other game.

Just more of fake McNabb acting like he's taking the high road.

Fakest person in the league.

We'll see if he plays his air guitar before the game against Philthy. He'll be extra motivated you can bet that!

 

[Mansta54]

This only confirms my thought that McNabb has always thought very highly of himself. He's pompous, arrogant, among other things, and less of the team player the media has always praised him for.

Very much so!!!!

What should he say? "The fans hated me in Philadelphia."

Then people/posters are criticizing him for being a whiner, and he gets a warm booing reception when he returns to Philadelphia.

McNabb is just trying to be classy and say the right thing. I don't see why he should be criticized for that.

This.

Donovan McNabb is extremely annoying but I think he take a lot more crap then he should.

I'm glad to see there are a couple more people that can take the homer glasses off temporarily and look at this objectively.

There's a difference in between being humble and making crap up.

So how does your statement apply to this situation?
