		<description>from wikipedia:

&quot;2004
McNabb finally amassed the kind of numbers that placed him firmly as one of the elite NFL quarterbacks statistically. He averaged 8.26 yards per attempt, completed 64.0 percent of his passes, threw 31 touchdown passes (he also ran for three more), and only eight interceptions. These numbers translated to a Passer Rating of 104.7. Furthermore, he became the first quarterback in league history to throw over 30 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions in a single season.&quot;

BTW, passer rating is sometimes called &quot;efficiency rating&quot;.</description>

		<description>I remember McNabb being second in the entire NFL in the statistical quarterback rating number at the time Limbaugh said this.  That is the most unbiased way to look at how good a qb has performed.  It takes into account yards-per-attempt, td&#039;s, int&#039;s, etc.  For example, if you have 57% completion, but average 9 yards-per-attempt, and have 25 td&#039;s to 8 int&#039;s, then you are far better than someone who has 60% complete, but only 6 yards-per-attempt, and 8 td&#039;s to 8 int&#039;s.  

Tracy5 and Wilke are demontrating their ignorance.</description>

		<description>Sounds like a bunch of b.s.
I wouldn&#039;t believe a word that blowhard, Drugs Limpballs says.
I&#039;m not buying that &quot;$400 Million deal&quot; either.

Sounds like a &#039;get some free publicity move&#039; to help a guy whose career, although successful has seen better days.

Anyone with any sense at all knows drug addicts and alcoholics are unreliable, can&#039;t be trusted and will say anything to get what they want.</description>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ask Terrill Owens about McNabb.&lt;/em&gt;

Terrill Owens was concerned about the number of passes thrown his way, Limpballs was worried about his color.  Limpballs, like the trolls on this board are bigots and useless individuals with nothing positive to offer society.</description>

		<description>Tracy5 Says:

The media did over-hype McNabb….because he wasn’t as good of a quarterback as they made him out to be.
______________

4 straight trips to the NFC Champioship gaem, one Super Bowl, and multiple selections to the Pro Bowl... oh, yeah... this man is over-hyped.

When was the last time &quot;El Rushbo&quot; could even see the tops of his own shoes?

Personally?  I think Rush played everyone on that &quot;McNabb Is Over-rated&quot; controversy.   There was simply no good reason to put Rush in the booth on Monday Night Football.  He clearly didn&#039;t understand the game and had NOTHING to add to the dialogue.  

It was only a matter of time before he was gone for all the right reasons.  I&#039;ve always thought that Rush knew he was gonna be booted, and decided he had to save face SOMEHOW, so he tried to make it look like it was a &quot;controversy&quot;, instead of what it was - him being cut loose because he served no purpose whatsoever on the show.</description>

		<description>hmmmmmm, Tracy5fingers again shows his racism. I now can understand why you worship this man so much.
Birds of a feather, T5f, birds of a feather...

As for Rush, I am sure, if he does purchase the St.Louis Rams, would be in Oxy heaven thinking that he &quot;owned&quot; all those &quot;non-white&quot; players.</description>

		<description>Tracy, are you serious?

There&#039;s no argument that the Eagles defense was the best in the league over that period. But the Eagles wide receivers were the worst, as was noted in the source you failed to cite. (Some might call that plagiarism, but I won&#039;t. I&#039;ll call it simply sloppy and a hit to your credibility.) And McNabb was the acknowledged leader of the team.

The fact remains, that at the time of Limpball&#039;s criticism, McNabb had played in two Pro Bowls and two NFC championship games in his first five years, with a paltry supporting cast on his side of the ball. Someone had to be able to put points on the board. It wasn&#039;t all Duce Staley and Brian Westbrook, you know.

And &lt;em&gt;please&lt;/em&gt; tell me you didn&#039;t link to a &lt;em&gt;blog forum&lt;/em&gt; on Faux Sports to buttress your argument?</description>

		<description>Man, I&#039;m so sick of black athlete stereotypes. Those stereotypes are not true:

1) Black QBs are not good: what about Randall Cunningham 1874 comp, 22,877 yds, 150 TD 

2) Black coaches are not good coaches: What about Coach Tony Dungy who took the colts to the Superbowl 

3) Golfing is not for Blacks: Tiger Woods proved that wrong

4) Tennis not for Black: The Williams Sisters?</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Oh hell no&lt;/strong&gt;! I&#039;m already ashamed of being from the same state as the piece o&#039; feces. If he buys the Rams, I will never go to another game or offer any more support for the team. Eff that.</description>

		<description>Just think how many Unitarians he could get killed if he owned a whole NFL team!!

Of course, somee of those African American players might actually remember his McNabb comments.

Only in America could a vile p.o.s. like him end up with a pharaonic mountain of cash. I think that&#039;s what 80% of us are thinking about when we think the country&#039;s &quot;not on the right track&quot;.

&quot;screw the humble and reward the wicked&quot; - isn&#039;t that what Jeebus said??</description>

		<description>Rush &quot;Rusty&quot; Hudson Limbaugh III 

Rush Limbaugh was born into a prominent Missouri family, and raised in a town about thirty miles from the Kentucky border. His grandfather, the first Rush Hudson Limbaugh, was America&#039;s Ambassador to India in the Eisenhower administration. His uncle, Stephen Limbaugh, was appointed federal judge by Ronald Reagan, and his cousin, Stephen Limbaugh Jr, was appointed to the U.S. District Court by George W. Bush. His father was a prominent local attorney, who imbued his children with conservative ideology. His brother, David Limbaugh, is a lawyer and conservative writer.

12 Jan 1951 Rush Limbaugh born, Cape Girardeau. Weight: MO, 7 pounds 6 ounces. 
5 Jun 1969 Graduates Cape Central High School, Cape Girardeau, MO. 
24 Nov 1970 Receives a military classification of 1-Y (fit for service only in time of war), thus avoiding the draft. There is some dispute on the reason for this, but Franken cites Limbaugh&#039;s brother recounting an unusual medical condition: &quot;Limbaugh avoided the draft because of a pilonidal cyst at the base of the spinal cord in which excess tissue and hair may collect, causing discomfort and discharge. As disgusting as this sounds, there is no evidence that Limbaugh&#039;s cyst contributed to the breakup of his two marriages.&quot; But this conflicts with a transcript of Limbaugh&#039;s radio program: 
CALLER: And Rush, you never mentioned how you dodged the Vietnam draft. 
RUSH: I didn&#039;t. 
CALLER: Yes, you did. You claimed you had a boil on your butt --  
RUSH: No. You see, that&#039;s part of popular mythology that is out there that I have not whined nor complained about, Greg. But that is just a bunch of Internet B.S. and hyperbole. Never happened. Was not the cause; wasn&#039;t the case.
