Deion Sanders rips Eagles fans
options
 
Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice things to say about Eagles fans tonight after the team's 48-20 win over the Cardinals.

Donovan McNabb arrived at the NFL Network's set at the Linc for a post-game interview. Many fans stayed in the stands to applaud McNabb, who threw four touchdowns in the victory.

As fans chanted McNabb's name, Sanders interrupted.

"Can I tell them something for you?" he said. "First of all, I would like to tell all these idiotic fans to shut-up. Don't get on his bandwagon now. You're the same guys who booed him on his first incompletion."

Host Rich Eisen then asked Sanders what he thought of the Philly fans.

"I can't stand them. I really can't. It's not because I was a former Cowboy because I didn't give a darn about any fans. They all hated me because I performed well," Sanders said. "But they way they treated this man from Day One, it's not justifiable. They will not treat any other quarterback in the NFL, like we said, Peyton Manning don't get treated like that. Tom Brady. And I know you [McNabb] can't say it, but I would really like on your behalf, you can take this...God bless you guys. ... "

    Deion, the feeling is mutual. We didn't hate you because you played well, which you should quit patting yourself on the back, you weren't all that, we hated you because you were, are and always will be a stone, self absorbed moron.

    Prime Time's right. I gotta say, Andy called it after tonights game. "This City judges you on your last play." It's just we love the game so much.

    Deion was the definition of everything bad that sports became. He is now just one in a long line of former players who put their idiocy on display each week to entertain the intellectual viewers. He and Shannon Sharpe should have their own game show where contestants try to decipher what it is that they are trying to say.

    Yeah Prime wasn't all that..Just the best cover corner/punt returner in NFL history. Two rings, HOF. Right, he sucked. Hate to have a guy like that on my team. I like his TV work, he's got an opinion and he's not scared to say it. Preach brother and if the truth stings, tough.

    Comparing the treatment of Donovan to Brady or Manning is ridiculous. Donovan is a good qb overall, but he's not in the same league as those guys. Apples and oranges.....

    Anyone who makes as much money as McNabb needs to expect a little criticism. If any of us underperformed at our workplace we would hear about it. This is part of the territory when your a multi-millionaire.
