Eagles coach Andy Reid noticed something rather distasteful out of the corner of his eye this morning: A [URL="http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=704"][COLOR=#0000ff]Donovan McNabb[/COLOR][/URL] Redskins jersey.

According to Tim McManus of [I]Philadelphia Sports Daily[/I], a fan named Jim Devlin was [URL="http://phillysportsdaily.com/eagles/2010/08/11/fan-asked-to-take-off-redskins-mcnabb-jersey/"][COLOR=#0000ff]asked to take the jersey[/COLOR][/URL] off by security. He did so quickly, and the security guard reportedly cited Reid as the reason he had to remove it. Devlin wasn't kicked out practice.

The fan also wore the jersey to a Phillies game the other night to "make a statement" about the Eagles trade and get a reaction from people.

So yeah, Devlin is about as big a jackass as you'd expect.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I respect Andy Reid, but i think thats messed up.

I chalk it up to freedom of expression. Let the fans deal with him. Thats just as bad as what Dan Snyder did last year banning signs and T-shirts that were derrogitory.

Heck we still see Colt Brennan jerseys, and a slew of Collins jerseys...

Dont get me wrong, i just think thats pretty stupid. Let the man wear what he wants as long as it isnt vulgar or obscene.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

Wow, insecure are we Reid?

Anytime I go to Giants camp I'm always wearing Skins gear. Some of the players seem to get a kick out of it and will make a comment like what's a Skins fan doing here, you scouting us?

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I suspect that that Reid recognizes that Eagles' fans are generally incapable of acting like mature adults and wanted this guy to remove the shirt before other fans took matters into their own hands. Which, undoubtedly, would have been ugly. I think Reid was trying to do the guy a favor in the long run.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

Thats what i'm saying....in general the hometown fans are tolerant and respectful of people wearing other teams' jerseys there. This guy sounds like a philly fan who wanted to make a statement.

Thats just a bonehead move by reid. You know people are either now gonna trash him or bombard opening day with McNabb redskins jerseys.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

what i want to know is how that makes devlin a "jackass"? if he made the news for wearing it to a phillies game-hats off to the man. he's obviously creating attention for his "cause" and doing it simply by wearing a shirt that any man, woman, or child can buy from nflshop.com-[sarcasm]what a "jackass"![/sarcasm]

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

Silliness.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I predict there will be more McNabb (Redskins) jerseys than active Eagles' players jerseys when we play them in Philly.

Seriously, who's going to buy a Kolb jersey? :D

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

That is a bunch of BS .. Fat Ass Andy Reid needs to realize he coaches in a filthy city full of hateful small minded sports fans who have ZERO super bowls .. they just traded the best football player they ever had (excluding Reggie White) ... Maaaybe there are actual #5 fans that don't care where he plays they just love him ... that allllllllll being said ... everytime i see a dallas fan i want to punch them in the face so what do i know !!
:Flush:

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

ahhh the mustache always wins, including Reid's.......

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

Is it just me, or does this seem a little bit like when that guy wore a lebron miami jersey to an Indians game and had to be escorted out by guards?

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

Great point smootsmack.

That was a little different. He was trying to start fights with people as were the fans with him, it was for his own safety to get him out of there.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I could see Reid viewing that as a situation having the potential to get ugly. The guy was within his rights, but what's the use acting within your rights and wind up still being wrong? There are several different ways of looking at a situation like that.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

lol @ calling him a jackass compared to most Philly fans

a jersey.. at CAMP! I mean maybe he was trying to keep a scuffle from breaking out or maybe he just got his panties in a bunch, who knows.

This could be true, but we do not know for sure. I hope this is the reason and not for other more selfish, insecure and stupid reasons. We saw how it backfired for Snyderatto and Redskins Stadium last season when people were forced to remove Dan Snyder and Vinnie Cerratto shirts. :)

Which is why I am hoping that Reid did it for "selfish, insecure and stupid reasons."

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I find this story upsetting and unAmerican. I highly doubt Reid was worried for one fans safety either. If the man Delvin is an Eagles fan why worry about retaliation. He is a fan making a statement. Leave it at that.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I want to bring an army of folks to Iggles camp wearing DMac jerseys and see what happens.

I've heard that he had some sort of credentials to be on the sideline and it's policy for them not to wear other team gear. Not sure if it's true.

A favor how? I mean sure they're certain instances where a skins fan mite get jacked up but I go to that game in Philly and where my skins gear in eagles country all year round and heckling is the worst that's happened ... and yes I have my mcnabb Jersey and worn it out a few times already.... I think wats "distasteful" here is Andy . Jerk.off move by him.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

The guy is now sporting a red Kolb jersey that he bought at the facility.

lol!

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

It's been clarified that he was in a VIP fan area that's the same area that media has access to.

More on the situation here:

the author wonders if the hat is a yellow Skins cap though

man, I feel like our training camp news is a lot better if that's what they have to talk about

Well if that is true, I guess i understand why Ried made it a point to have the guy change, if he was a guest of the Eagles it makes more sense.

BUT to ask someone that is just attending an open training camp practice to remove any jersey or piece of clothing that does not contain anything obviously offensive is absurd. I state this in reference to all 2 teams not just the eagles.

Like last year at Redskins games when the Redskins ban the signs, I found this ridiculous as well.

Free Speech.

I remember seeing his autographed shoes for sale on eBay several years ago, for next to no money.

Never saw a jersey though.

Sounds like Reid is the jackass to me.

Never saw a jersey though.[/quote]i remember posting something on his personal website the day that we cut him. he kept in touch for a while. he seemed like a really nice guy.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

How funny would it be if about 20 people showed up to their practices with #5 Redskins jerseys. lol.

I guess they would have to show up with Eagles jerseys first then reveal the Redskins jersey underneith since I'm sure the security gustapo would not let them at the facility otherwise. lol.

I think he tried to become a singer or something, I remember his fashion photo shoots on his site. :D

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

When I saw the pictures i was wondering why the guy seemed to be on the field.

Like tryful posted, i think i read a comment to the PFT article that he had media credential access or to the VIP area where they "supposedly" have a rule of no other team jerseys.

i dont see the big deal. perhaps reid made it somewhat newsworthy as a fleeting blip but my sense of 1st amendment isnt offended if this guys isnt.

im actually glad this huy didnt try to make it inot some huge protest, 1st amendment im allowed to wear whatever non-offensive clothing i want. theres too much of that going on now a days, people having their feelings hurt thinking it equals a lawsuit and payday.

Re: Andy Reid doesn't want McNabb Redskins jerseys at his training camp
 

I dont care about the jersey thing,what I took from the article is how bad Mcnabb has looked 2 weeks into training camp,not what i wanted to read,hope he gets his shit together quick.

That's in the article about the guy with the jersey??

Anyhow, reports from the last few days almost all say that McNabb has had a strong week at camp...and that he's never been a total stud during training camp in his career
