McNabb mourns MJ
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
In his blog, Donovan McNabb mourns the passing of Michael Jackson.
Here's the entry:
Like most of the rest of the world I am devastated by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. Ironically, I am in Los Angeles for a few days between shooting a commercial and attending a teammate’s wedding this weekend.
Those who have followed my career know that I am a huge fan of the King of Pop. After many of my touchdowns, I have moonwalked or mimicked some of his moves – before you get ready to criticize those moves on a post, know that even I understand I couldn’t hold a candle to Michael when it comes to dancing. My dances were a mere tribute to Michael’s unbelievable ability to entertain.
Many times we are reminded at someone’s death that “there will never be another one like him/her.” In this case, those words couldn’t be more true.
My condolences go out to his children, his immediate family, and his extended family of millions around the world.
PS: The wedding in question is apparently the Hank/Kendra nuptials.

NUgget - "but remember he did not cure cancer, feed the hungry with his millions, help a country...." direct quote from you. Look, MJ's final days (years) weren't the best - but look at the body of work and the cultural impact he made - globally. Then, go back to 1984 (1985?)and remember that MJ personally ushered in the era of celebrity philanthropy with USA for AFRICA ("We Are The World") which inspired LIVE AID. MJ in his sane years, did as much for humanity as he could. Don't rain on his grave now. And Lonewolf4 (down to "4" nopw - the IQ points just keep dropping!! - kudos to you, you "special guy" - do you stil wear that helmet? It's not helping, huh?). Rest easy - D-MAc won't moonwalk all over your MOM anymore when he tags her, you D-Bag.— mebphila- lonewolf4 - quoting one of my fave "80's films" (in honor of the MJ passing) - I'll leave you with a little bit from STAND BY ME: "It should have been you, Lonewolf (Gordie)" ...— mebphila
- MJ = TO of the entertainment world. Salk and Linus Pauling were losses, not Elvis and MJ.— Joe Funk
- Save your self-righteousness for church tomorrow, None but truth...— JamesJ
- MJ greatest entertainer of alltime! Elvis was a fat dopehead and racist.— mongoS
- As for the child molestation stuff: MJ was acquitted. Another person came forward to say he was molested 23 years after the allegedly abuse, and his case was dismissed by a judge. Innocent until proven guilty, people. He was weird, but he was a very damaged person who at least deserved more sympathy than he got from the tabloids.— p-diddy
- hey nothing, MJ was blasted pretty bad in the past few years. and I agree, let's celebrate the man's talents but also acknowledge his shortcomings as well. (again, this was a guy who was accused of molesting kids with cancer; KIDS WITH CANCER. its tough to describe a more disturbing crime). great entertainer, disturbed human.— vinni
- JamesJ I never said that I was perfect what I said was what purpose does degrading a man who passed away serves? I have my own faults just like everyone else. You can look at anyone in history (except Jesus) and the deeper you look into them the more faults you will find. Vinni I'm not brushing aside some of his shortcomings but the truth is he was never convicted. Now would I let my kids stay with Mike? Absolutely not. For one I don't know the man and two one child molestation accusation is one too many. But you can't use death as a forum to bash life. Respect the people who came before us and passed away. Would you use the wake as a time to degrade a close friend or family member who passed away? We all know the vices that people close to us have but we respect that moment in time when they leave us. My screen name isn't Nothing But the Truth for a reason. Civility people civility— Nothing but the truth
