Re: Skinsfaninok's Available NFL QBs Poll

Well, OTR spoke to a source close to McNabb who replied “no,” when we asked if there was any truth to this story.
LOL, all I can tell you is that I have a source close to MS who said "yes" when asked if there was any truth to the story. Honestly I don't but you can see how this works. To me it's a rumor. I'm not saying it's 100% true but I'm not discrediting it and saying it's 100% false. Sounds like today is damage control day.

“I find it amazing,” the source continued. “Only Donovan can be accused of being an Uncle Tom and 48 hours later be classified as defiant.”
WTF? I was always under the impression the term "Uncle Tom" was a racial slur to mean any black person who agrees with the white society or goes against black american ideals (if I'm saying it right). What has McNabb done or said for him to be called an "Uncle Tom"?

We asked if Donovan was going to publicly defend himself on this topic and the source didn’t think he would.
“No,” the source said. “Donovan will stick with his policy of handling this kind of talk in house.”
Thats one good thing about McNabb, he likes to keep personal business between him and management.... unless he's one the radio.

We still don’t know who would stand to benefit from the wristband story getting out. The Redskins would be stupid to let something like that get out because it would hurt McNabb’s trade value. Is it possible that Shanahan made it up and that’s why Snyder was just now hearing about it? Was Shanahan trying to cover for his son Kyle yet again?
Bingo. Covering for Kyle? I'm confused. KS had a really good offense while with Houston, but their defense was horrid costing them a lot of games. I can't speak for the rest of you but for me, it appeared MS's running scheme was not working so they relied heavily on KS's passing attack. First year under new scheme, combined with no running game I like to think KS did pretty well. Atleast a lot better then Zorn. I don't see any reason to cover for him and yes we would have a lot less trade value if the story got out.
