Donovan McNabb

As long as I'm talking football (and anybody who knows me will tell you it's next to impossible to get me to shut up once I get going) I wanna comment on something I saw at some other worthless football blog.

This blowhard was going on about how Donovan McNabb was more of a choke artist than Peyton Manning because he blew 3 consecutive AFC playoff games at home plus a Superbowl. He posited the rhetorical question "Why doesn't anybody say McNabb's a choke artist?" then answered it with "It's because he's black."

No, no, NO, NO. It's because when you manage to throw 49 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions in a season and then can't throw a single TD against the Patriots, you are rightfully labelled a choke artist. The argument against Manning is that he consistently loses to New England at home in January. He's a spoiled pretty-boy who loves his RCA Dome and can't handle the elements. Last season, the Colts were poised to unseat the '72 Dolphins, then lost to San Diego and Seattle. And then lost again to the Steelers in the RCA dome to knock themselves out of the playoffs.

McNabb's a great QB, but he's not laying waste to records like Manning. The expectations just aren't there for McNabb. Maybe it's unfair, but it's the truth. Color has nothing to do with it and frankly I can't wait until we put away this petty black quarterback/black coach horseshit.
