Why would anyone boo Five? Because he ‘played the race card’? As 700 Level stated over the weekend, HBO tapes these things over the offseason and Donovan was asked a question by James Brown, which he answered. Watch the actual interview…you’ll see a lot more to what was said then what’s being talked about. I’d rather have a guy answer honestly than have a guy lie. Would you rather Donovan just ‘shut up’? He has his opinions and I hope he sticks by them. Booing him for this is just inane.
Why else would one boo Donovan? Because he’s stunk? Is that why there were still smatterings of boos during the game against Detroit? The game where he threw 4 touchdowns and completed 21 of 26 passes for 381 yards? Oops.
But they never won anything!! They lost by 3 points in the Super Bowl and McNabb threw for 351 yds against a pretty vaunted defense. He also threw 3 TDs (and yes 3 INTs). But anyone trying to say that McNabb ‘lost’ that game is just being silly, the man put them in a great spot to win against a dynasty.
So what’s left? He smiles a lot? He’s in commercials? I really can’t think of a reason to boo McNabb other than just being a hater. And we certainly have plenty of those around these parts. Go ahead, boo. You only show everyone else what you’re all about.

I definately agree. All the guy has done is win. Do people forget the days of Ty Detmer, Rodney Peete, and Bobby Hoying? This guy is a bonafide superstar, and all philly wants to do is boo him because he’s not “scrappy”.
