Sapp bodyslams McNabb
Warren Sapp gets in his shots.
Sapp bodyslams McNabb
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
WARREN SAPP: "…when I heard him say it I almost passed out. I thought, 'This will follow you for the rest of your career.' Your legacy in the league, Donovan, will be throwing up in the Super Bowl, Rush Limbaugh and now 'I didn’t know they were ties in the NFL.'"
PHIL SIMMS: "It makes me sad; I can’t even laugh about it because he is a tough player, a good player. I believe, and a lot of people get mad when I say this, I think he is going to go to the Hall of Fame one day. He is probably going to throw for over 40,000 yards…. But you are right, you know how we are in life now and with TV, it’s perception. And these perceptions that have been put out there are going to stay with him until he wins a Super Bowl."
Then the topic turned to whether or not this would be McNabb’s last year in Philadelphia.
SAPP: "It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be tough, unless he gets them into a playoff run."
SIMMS: "Unless he turns it around and they have really good success in the playoffs, for once I actually believe this could be the end."
And so it goes. Maybe it will stop by Sunday, after the pre-game shows have finished chewing on it. Maybe.
Mcnabb is getting old and were r not getting younger,Bottom line we shouldve had a superbowl victory by now and us fans cant wait much longer. As long as Reid is calling plays we will not see one....— trosar- I'm more upset that the coach doesn't know you need a running game.— ChekUrFax
- Whoo hoo! First to comment. Sapp should stick to, "Dancing with the Pansies" .....Oops, I mean, "Stars."— jibberjabber
- Warren should mind his own business— toots53
- I’m getting a little tired of the NFL Network Jami Dukes and company stating that Eagles fans are spoiled because we’ve always had a consistence QB and not to criticize McNabb for claiming he didn’t know ties existed in the NFL. We the Eagles fans have never won a Super Bowl in franchise history. Great we won some play-offs and got to the Super Bowl but just like any fan in the NFL it’s about winning at the Super Bowl. We the fans put our money where our mouth is not the NFL Network. As an Eagles fan I feel I have the right to state the obvious, its over. We the FANS buy the tickets, gear,brag on our team but no more this team is harming the city and ticket sales. I stopped watching the Eagles in week 4 this year, there so disturbingly bad. Andy and McNabb have run there course, the thing the owners need to recognize is that it’s over. The fans wont watch then maybe they’ll do something. The chatter from all fans is “enough”. Every team in our division has made intelligent changes in the last few years from Parcels left Dallas with a blueprint on how to win. Wade Phillips has been a little derelict with maintenance of the team but...........The Skins have gone from Coach Gibbs to a new head Coach nobody wanted and are improving. Then the Giants had Kurt Warner then said Eli is our man and were sticking for a few years. All were at the play-offs last year while the Eagles were home sitting on the sofa. This year there going for it again. The Giants may bring another trophy home. The Eagles wont improve by playing like it’s 1999.— epalmer
- This isnt McNabb's fault we didnt win a SB. It's Reid arrogance of thinking a QB can do it all on his own. Jim Johnson's defense hasnt been the same since Spags left for the Giants. Give Reid and McNabb 1 more year maybe he can pull some desperate moves to save his job if not, fire Reid and bring Spags back to put some intensity into this team! He is a sure thing SB winning head coach!— prep97
- I find it funny that everyone else in the world know everything about the NFL, but McNabb. Before the Eagles played in the OT, how many new there were ties in the NFL? Honestly? In the sports bar I watch the Eagles games at, many people did not know there were ties in the NFL. If you went to NFL.com and looked at the standings prior to the tie, they only showed wins/losses, no ties. At least he was honest about it.— SeanEMac75
- Question, when the coin toss is made to start the game, there are 3 options, recieve, kick, or defer. If you say kick, do you recieve the ball to start the 2nd half? Answer: No. I bet many people believed that you do if you say kick. Just wondering if everyone knows all the rules.— SeanEMac75

- WHY WOULD ANY ONE THINK OF DONAVAN MCNABB AS A HALL OF FAME CANIDATE? HE HAD FOUR GREAT YEARS RUNNING AND PASSING WENT TO FOUR CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES AND WON ONE. ACTUALLY VOMITED WHEN HE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP INSTEAD OF PLAYING TO TRY AND WIN. TO TOP OFF A CAREER IN WHICH HE TOOK A LOT OF INJURIES AND TO HIS CREDIT WORKED HIS WAY BACK WE DISCOVER HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIS CAREER'S RULES. YES, HE HAS PASSED FOR A LOT OF YARDS IN MOSTLY MEANLESS GAMES. HALL OF FAME?— JACK V
- just looking at Sapps idiotic face makes me want to puke.He's like a child that needs attention.Mcnabb should have said i'm used to winning most of the games i play in,and not playing for ties.oh well Mcnabb will go win a super bowl,like Elway late in his career, with another team that has a running game and a reciever who isn't a smurf or as frail as my grandmom and we'll be stuck with Andy's playcalling, drafts and free agents going 7 and 9 every year.THIS IS THE NFC EAST ANDY!!— Mon
- Simple: It's the way the FO put this squad together, and the way Andy set up the coaching staff. Just think if McNabb was a Colt, or a Cowboy, or a Packer, in other words on a team that had receivers and running backs of NFL caliber. By the way Reid, you spent all that money on that midget Asanti Samuels. He may play the corner well, but I get tired of him faking tackles on the bigger running backs. Teams know he is a punk when it comes to tackling, and they shove it his way with the big backs. Another dumb Andy move.— starman
