Really? I thought he was just a huge prick

Now this is a feud. So much for keeping the NFL spotlight on the teams playing in the Super Bowl. You can keep that Jerramy Stevens vs. Joey Porter catfight that wasted time on all the sportscasts yesterday. This is a story, man.

Did you see Donovan McNabb's interview on ESPN last night? (No? You were watching State of the Union recaps on the nightly news?) He finally took a step down from the high road and gave his version of the Terrell Owens drama with the Philadelphia Eagles. For example, what was the reaction in the Eagles' locker room when T.O. said the team would be better with Brett Favre at quarterback?

But McNabb wasn't just chapped at T.O. for saying he wanted another quarterback. No, this was much worse because T.O. named a white quarterback. Here's an excerpt:

"It was definitely a slap in the face to me. Because as deep as people won't go into it, it was [a] black-on-black crime. I mean, you have a guy that has been criticized just about all his career and now the last criticism is that I'm selling out because I don't run anymore...

"And to say if we had Brett Favre, that could mean that if you had another quarterback of a different descent or ethnic background, we could be winning. That's something I thought about and said, 'Wow.' It's different to say if we had Michael Vick, Daunte Culpepper, Steve McNair, Aaron Brooks, Byron Leftwich. But to go straight to Brett Favre, that slapped me in the face..."

Whoa! "Black-on-black crime"? And all this time, I just thought T.O. was an @$$hole; a selfish, self-centered diva who loves to destroy winning teams from within because he doesn't realize how good he has it. No, it turns out T.O. might have been propagating white racism, too. Yikes!
(And that's probably about as far as I want to delve into that particular topic. Yep.)

We have to get a response on this from T.O. or Drew Rosenhaus, right? They can't just let such an attack go without retaliation. T.O. and Drew are probably setting up microphones in front of T.O.'s house as I write this. ("Testing... testing... are those crickets chirping?") Wait - maybe it'll happen here in Detroit! We know T.O's throwing a party in town on Saturday night. Maybe they'll throw a presser in front of the Joe Louis fist! All of the football press is here, anyway. How many "next questions" would Rosenhaus have to fire off to a Super Bowl-sized press corps?

C'mon guys, the game isn't for another three days. The biggest news so far has been Joey Porter saying Jerramy Stevens plays mostly on special teams, and comparing himself to the vampire from Underworld, along with concrete security barriers attacking vans full of Seattle Seahawks. Give us a little more, while we're trying to figure out ways to get into parties where celebrities may or may not be.
