This is what local sports radio personality Angelo Cataldi has to say about McNabb:Originally posted by OzzyKP View PostPhilly fans are the dregs of humanity.
Chunky soup is the only thing in the Eagle's trophy case."I don't like Donovan McNabb, because I always felt he was a phony," Cataldi told Joseph Santoliquito of CBSPhilly.com. "He's always been passive-aggressive, which doesn't resonate well with the fans of this city. That's my problem with him. He never connected to the fans in this town."
"They only wanted one thing from McNabb, a championship. Look at those great Flyers teams of the 1970s. They won championships and never had to buy another dinner in this town again. With all that talent, McNabb never delivered.""Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
"I have nothing against Wilson, but he's nowhere near the same calibre of QB as Flutie. Flutie threw for 5k+ yards in the CFL." -Ben KenobiComment

Out of curiosity, has any other 1st round pick been booed when selected or does McNabb alone have that distinction?"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

IIRC, the Philly fans did this to others as well. He was not the first or the last to receive that treatment. I also believe other fans have done this but McNabb's seemed the most unwarranted, even at the time.Comment

Eagles fans and Jets fans both tend to boo their team's first-rounder.
As for McNabb being a "phony"... WTF does it have to do with anything? Michael Jordan was a phony. Walter Payton was a phony. Didn't stop them from "connecting" with the fan base. I daresay most major sports figures are pretty different in private compared with the media persona.Last edited by -Jrabbit; April 21, 2012, 23:08.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Brian Dawkins retires. He's probably a Hall of Famer."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Now ESPN is reporting that Mickey Loomis, GM of New Orleans, had ability to eavesdrop on other teams coaches in Superdome. If this is true, this team is really trying to self-destruct.

It allegedly happened 2002-2004 (pre-Katrina) and not afterwards. Which puts Loomis beyond legal jeopardy.
But if they were doing this, it's pretty much on par with Spygate in terms of pure cheating."This is 1,000 percent false," Loomis told ESPN on Monday. "This is 1,000 percent inaccurate."Last edited by -Jrabbit; April 23, 2012, 18:59.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

If the Cowboys can win the next 52 regular season games, they'll match the win total they had under Tom Landry (but will still have 8 more losses).Comment

Packers cut S Nick Collins, WR Jerome Simpson signs with the Vikings (and receives a 3 game suspension), and Eagles CB Asante Samuel will be traded to the Falcons for a late-round pick.
That trade could have some serious implications in the NFC if Samuel returns to his pro bowl form.Last edited by Al B. Sure!; April 25, 2012, 13:01."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Yeah, I'm happy to see the Falcons pick up Samuel for basically nothing.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
