Is this clown over-the-top or what?!?!?!?

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Oh man...this is a triple-bagger

[ConservativeMan55]

RUSH PING!

Freepmail me if you would like on/off the Rush Pinglist!

[2banana]

This time, it wasn't Rush Limbaugh spewing hatred.

Rush should sue for libel and make them prove it....

[FormerLib]

This time, it wasn't Rush Limbaugh spewing hatred.

Nope, it's a small time loser name Jay Mariotti spewing ignorance.

[X-FID]

Over the top carpetbagger!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I hear this clown from time to time on Sporting News Radio. He is unimportant, and we do not hear his words.

I just called the Klingon a liar, Jim....

[G.Mason]

" Limbaugh's hatred cut deeper for the McNabb family than he knew. "

Is there anyone anywhere that can read, or that listened to what Rush said?

"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well," Limbaugh said. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team." ....... Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh's hatred??

If that statement is hatred, then I'm the Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK.

[Mr. Mojo]

Amazing. McNabb is an average QB and this author equates him with the likes of Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, and John Elway (before he finally won a ring).

[Packer Pete]

This guy has been waiting for weeks for the Eagles post-season to end, with only a slight change in script already played out in his head. Had the Eagles won the SuperBowl, he'd have rubbed Rush's face in what he would have documented as McNabb's brilliant, championship-winning play. Competely predictable.

[Moby Grape]

And MORE evidence that Rush was right keeps coming....McNabb is a great athelete, but not as of yet, a great QB....other greats have played hurt, but when McNabb does not play hurt, we get treated to the excuse machine in the media that is doing EXACTLY what Rush said they were doing weeks ago, building him up to be something he is not.

I believe he can be, and may one day be, a great QB....but 16th ranked in the NFL is not great.

[junta]

Yes.

[Zack Nguyen]

Dan Marino is known as one of the five best quarterbacks ever, but despite his many records, he'll never go down as the best because he didn't win a Super Bowl when Joe Montana, John Elway and Brett Favre did.

That criteria is dumb. There was nothing Marino could do about a complete lack of running game and defense during his 17 years in the league. Rather blame the unbelievable incompetence of the front office. Marino was probably a better pure paser than all of them.

Frnk Tarkenton - same thing. Jim Kelly ditto.

[metesky]

Actually McNabb was lucky he lost. The Patriots would have broken every bone in his body.

[Petronski]

Whenever you hear the words Jay Mariotti, you should hear another sound as well...ice cubes clinking in a cocktail glass.

[brownsfan]

What keeps the McNabb controversy rolling, (aside from the blatant ignorance of lefties with an agenda), is that there is error on both sides.
Rush was fundamentally correct, however, I think McNabb is far better than he gave him credit for being. Look at the quarterbacks in the league now. McNabb is surely in the top 10. He's not great, but I'd take him over Couch or Holcomb! (The Browns COULD have picked him, the idiots).
McNabb did have a sub par day yesterday, he's not as great as the author of this article wants him to be. In fact, he's not GREAT. He's very good. Not Hall of Fame caliber, who knows how he will end up. I watched the game, and aside from McNabb not being at his best, his offense killed him. The recievers are not very good, and he didn't have much time. But, GREAT players tend to elevate those around them, and find a way to get it done.
Summary, both sides are wrong. He's a very good quarterback who lost a big game. So what? So did Peyton Manning.

[LS]

These people are despicable, and this is what makes people like me---who could care less about McNabbit except that he is in an Iggles uniform---hope that he has a terrible career.

BTW, I wonder if the author wants to call the Panther player who hit McNabbit a racist who "spews hatred?"

[gunnedah]

One thing for sure this crowd proves old Rush was correct. That crew of commentators last night after the game was shucking and jiving.
Old Howie said that the Eagles should go out and get Donavan some help.
Hell, every quarter back that has ever lost in one of these games could say the same but I have never heard an announcer say this or make excuses.
Regardless of what they say the truth eventually comes out and old Rush was correct all along about the media and McNabb.

[kinghorse]

McnNabb was forced to be a pocket passer and hilarity ensued. The Panther coaches even said ahead of time what they were going to do. Pretty funny watching Mr. Limited imagination get folded, spindled and mutilated.

Some day after he has long been sacked, Coach Reid may realize the obvious. Good defenses will cause a turnover before 20 dunk passes get you to the end zone. He keeps doing the same crap year after year. It'd be sad if it wasn't so funny.

[montag813]

What the 14-3 loss means is that McNabb, accomplished as he is as a quarterback and leader,

Accomplished? He was rated 16th among starting QBs in the NFL this year. Brad Johnson was rated 12th. Would they call Johnson "accomplished"?

And when did Limbaugh "spew hatred"? I must have missed this.

[LisaMalia]

''I thought I was on the ground already. Then I took a shot I shouldn't have taken,'' McNabb said. ''It was rough.''

Late hits happen all the time, for pete's sake. For every one the camera captures, there are probably a dozen or so cheap shots at the bottom of a scrum that are much worse that you DON'T see. From the tone of the article, you'd think this has never happened before.

This poor excuse for a sportswriter seems to be taking it harder than McNabb himself. Or more likely, he's just stirring the pot.
