Ashburn, Va.: Donovan F. McNabb=MVP. The man has 11 TDs and one INT after five weeks. Yesterday may have been his best big-game performance in his career.
Michael Wilbon: It was up there...Yeah, I'd put him ahead of even Rex Grossman so far...And the game the Eagles lost (to the Giants) they shouldn't have because McNabb passed for 250 in the first half of that game...Yep, hard to argue that. Guess T.O. wasn't the entire reason the Eagles made it to the Super Bowl two years ago...And isn't it obvious T.O. is about to lead to the implosion of the Dallas Cowboys? For the one-millionth time: he's a bad, bad teammate and I wouldn't allow him in my locker room. And you know what? He's getting worse.
Washington, D.C.: Just to play devil's advocate, because I personally can't stand T.O., but don't a lot of position players/WRs make similar impassioned appeals on the sidelines to their players and coaches to motivate them? In T.O.'s case, it's invariably perceived as him rocking the boat.
Michael Wilbon: T.O.'s is every week after every pass and it's always scowling and screaming at the QB. If I was playing the QB I'd lead him right into Brian Urlacher on a slant and throw it just a little high...Deliver me from T.O. How many teams does he have to ruin with his cancerous behavior before people see NOBODY is as bad as he is.
Dallas: Cowboy fan here. Granted T.O.'s antics are disgusting, but there is no way that is going to rip this team apart. I couldn't care less about what this guy does when he steps off the field as long as he gives it his all on the field, which he does. Complain all you want about T.O. but Drew Bledsoe and his "holding onto the ball in the pocket for 20 seconds until I take a sack" routine is what's going to kill the team, not T.O.
Michael Wilbon: Nobody cares what YOU care about. YOU aren't playing. Guys who have played with T.O. get sick of him and his act and many HATE playing with him. Some like him, others are afraid to tell him they hate him. ... Check the history of what happened with him in S.F. and Philly. Your Cowboy fandom really isn't important in this analysis.
Cleveland: Mike, is there one starting QB in the NFL, other than Walters in Oakland, that you wouldn't start over Mark Brunell?
Michael Wilbon: Oh stop. The guy completed 22 in a row three weeks ago and you're whining? Have you seen the quarterback situations in Tampa Bay, in Detroit, in Arizona? Please. Stop.
