McNabb's agents take aim at the Shanahans, Mike responds...

He is the head coach and can say and do what he wants to say, no matter what you and press think. I was surprise like many, but I did not consider it as a disrespectful move. After all, Donovan has disrespected the Redskins by pretending to be concerned about this organization. If he cares then learn everything about the nuances about this offense to make it work.

The story is not about Andy Reid or the media or the leaks coming out of Redskins Park. It's about improving the team.

I guess Shannahan is telling McNabb to kiss his ass. If Donovan does not want to play as he was billed up to be an upgrade over Campbell then sit and run the scout team, in other words, screw you Donovan. Shannahan will deal with him when the season is over.

Who gives a flying shit about the media. The media and people like you are flaming this nonsense. How do you think Sonny Jurgensen felt when he was benched? Or Vince Young? It does not matter who rides the pine but someone has to.

You keep on parroting that I have a problem with the benching itself. That's not the big problem. It's the unnecessary extracirricular comments and airing of dirty laundry. But hey, I'm sorry I offended your god and hence you have to make a strawman out of my words in order to enforce your rage. BTW, to repeat so your emotionally weak head can get it, McNabb has been underwhelming and I don't really mind the benching itself, but the extracirricular comments and the like.

So, the truth comes out. You can't stomach a head coach (a Redskins HC) telling a veteran QB to go get screwed. I have no problem with it. This is about making the Washington Redskins a better team. Not a personality parade.

Donovan if you feel disrespected, how do you think the defensive team feels when you purposely throw the ball in the ground. Or take an unnecessary sack?

BTW, stop using other teams as a model that the Redskins should pattern themselves after.

The disrespect is not from the benching itself, but rather the other public comments. Is that clear? Or are you going to continue calling me a McNabb cocksucker? McNabb isn't in the right either because he's too chicken to say the shit himself. They ALL should have kept their mouths shut and just went on with their business after the benching.

I have a feeling that you want to have a power trip and Mike Shanahan is the perfect vector for your emotions. Calling me Donovan is quite funny since I've actually got into an battle with a different member here for not praising McNabb's play this year.

And I say the Stillers know what the hell they're doing far more than we are. Santanio Holmes gets in trouble? Just ship him away and be done with it. None of these silly extracirricular media wars.



And seriously, McNabb with deliberate sabatoge? Did you even see the first Eagles game where he was saying the Eagles made a mistake? The Sheagles sure seemed offeneded enough to proceed to blow us out in the rematch.
