I am confused, he is referring to the “source” , “da source”, Mike Lombardi’s unnamed soucre, the official “league source”, the source of the source, florios source, nancy gats source, tim kawakami’s source, Adam Schefters reliable source, or BSPN, or has plenty of “unamed sources” .
Well at least we know one thing, when it comes to the raiders, we know all of these sources all have one thing in common….they don’t know jack, except lies, and hate.
Gotta love the hate…believe it or not

So what I’am gathering is that it’s OK for guys like Favre to LIE about everything, but not Mcnabb?

I dont get how you come to these conclusions. Yes alot of people in the NFL say things in the media they are really doing something else. But some dont.
Give me 1 example when it has been proven that Mcnabb was lying in the media. He is always upfront thats why there was so many dramas surrounding. Mcnabb is alot of things but he isnt a liar. I always believe what he says and I will continue to do that until he gives me a reason not too.
Besides that anything Jason Cole says is an outright lie when it comes to the Eagles. There has been at least 3 different times that it has been proven that he was just making things up. That guy has no creditably and should take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Only reason he went to the Redskins was because that was the team with the highest bidder(draft pick) otherwise he would be wearing the Silver & Black.
Straight and Simple.
Highest bidder.

I don’t belive McNabb for a second. It is easy to say that now but you know he was whining to the organization behind closed doors. McNabb will never get over his biggest problem on the field, he has no heart.

As usual Florio, you in bred retard, you missed the point of McNabb’s statement. He came right out and said that idiots like you who engage in rumors and listen to anyone other than the athletes themselves are salivating dogs waiting for someone to ring the bell. With any luck you’ve already been neutered and others learn from your ignorance and stupidity. Didn’t you used to work for the National Enquirer? Then they fired your sorry ass for giving them a picture of your mother that you were passing off as a picture of sasquatch?

How about the Raiders were never as interested as the “Media” tried to make out. Think about it – If the Raiders were really offering up there 2 round pick why would the Eagles trade in there division to move up only a few spots. They were never really pushing for him. This was just a very bad trade by the Eagles and they know it. That is why they are trying to push this lame a$$ story know about them tading McNabb to bloke the Redskins from drafting a QB.

“When Donovan calls up Dallas and gives them all the info on the Eagles offense, ”
Here was the Eagles 2009 passing attack with McNabb…
1) Snap ball
2) Wait for DeSean to break loose
3) Hold ball
4) Hold ball
5) Hold ball
6) Take sack
Repeat twice more, say “go get ‘em” to punter.
A similar offense was used by Neil O’Donnell when he was with the Jets.

DONNY will say anything to look good in the media’s eyes. I dont think he woulda retired though, he likes gettin 8 figures to be at the middle of the pack. If you could get paid 10 million for mediocrity you would.
He’s in Washington and he’s happy. he’s in washington and the PHILLY PHANS ARE HAPPY. i just wish we coulda shipped him to oakland for AWESOME-ugha. but Al Davis screwed that up with his kagillion dollar contract. if picked up Awesome-ugha, he woulda made more $ than all our other starting DB’s combined

I’m pretty sure that Wade Phillips knows more about it than McNabb does.

“Think about it, what fan base in all of sports WORLDWIDE, is bigger and more passionate than the Raider Nation?”
Too many blackouts for the Faiders to hold that distinction.

who cares. JC to me is a better QB. what has mcslab done anyway except lose all the big games and get spanked 3 times last yr by my boys.
it is pretty obvious that the eagles feel the guys skills have diminished and by the way he played last yr i agree. He looked horrid against some really bad teams and when he played my boys was embarassed.
another great move by the raiders…i mean 4skin org. LMAO. They will pay him a huge extension too.

Everybody chill, Florio is merely stirring the pot.

Like it or not, there isn’t one.
So if it’s YOU that operates this site, which lives off hits, what fan base do YOU chose to keep things going?
The Raider Nation.

“we’re not saying we don’t believe McNabb.”
I will. He’s lying through his teeth. The only players who want to actually play for the Raiders are the ones that have no other NFL opportunities. Davis is a horrendously bad owner and needs to go. Until he does the Raiders will always be bottom feeders.

Mcnabb and/or his agent clearly threatened to not show up from camp and play for the Raiders.
——————————————–
…and you have factual evidence to back this up? Please show it to us, all knowing football fan. I would like to see this.
I hate to tell you this, but your wrong, and I have evidence to back my claim up. The words of McNabb himself. he has no reason to “work the media” in this situation.
What a bunch whiny little babies the lot of you are. You can’t take it that you were wrong and want to use unproven theories as a form of denial. Get over yourselves. You guy hung your hats on unnamed sources and stabs in the dark. In the end, you were wrong.

From the Article,”Besides, with McNabb saying nothing, those “key analysts and smart guys” had to look somewhere for information.”
Why do they have to say anything? They don’t HAVE TO LOOK SOMEWHERE…They could just keep their F%cking mouths shut unless they have facts to report.
I swear there is no real journalism left in the world, only editorials and opinions passed as fact.
Of course Florio disagrees with McNabb, he was one of the guys McNabb was talking about. He’s just too lazy and scared to state his own opinion so he uses other people’s to keep his “plausible deniability”.
Stay Classy

Does anyone blame him? I understand if mcnabb didn’t want to play for the raiders, I think this would be a bigger deal if say he didnt want to play for the redskins and picked the raiders over them.
Seymor didn’t want to play with the raiders but he had no choice. I’m quite sure if he had a choice of teams the raiders would not be the one he would have went to.
—————————————————
How would it be a bigger deal if he went to the Raiders over the Redskins. You seem to forget, he didn’t “pick” the Redskins. The Redskins picked him by offering the best deal on the table. Of course the situation is ideal for McNabb, because he probably doesn’t have to move his family, depending on where they live. It’s laughable to say it would have been a “big deal”, as the Redskins are no better than the Raiders right now. Your team isn’t all that special to make such a claim.
Then you still want to believe that Seymor didn’t want to play for the Raiders, despite the words that came out of the mans mouth. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have signed a new contract with the team. People like you are a joke. You believe what you want to believe, and refuse to believe what the actual players say, because it doesn’t fit your agenda.
Same goes to Florio and the other hacks that kept dragging the Raiders through the mud for absolutely no reason. Now that the truth is out, and your back peddling, still trying to claim you were right all along. In the end, all of you the hack reporters and haters were proven wrong. Take it like a man and just admit it instead of trying to make excuses.
McNabb said he would have played for the Raiders. It’s just that simple. There no underlying reason, as he’s a Redskin now and has no reason to do any damage control. If he really didn’t want to, he would say it. Get a grip people.

skins and raiders are equally dysfunctional. i dont see the point of wanting to go to one and refusing to go to the other. daniel snyder IS al davis. who da fock wants to play or coach in washington or oakland? mcnabb and his daddy referring to himself as john elway and jesus christ all in the same week was priceless. andy reid is a genius.

Vikes: Its simple Harvin and Peterson will alternate and we will finally Install a Wildcat with Tavaris. Then on some 3rd Down use Darius and increase the use of Kliensauser at FB with more Shancoe plays and your better than last year. With a Wildcat in the NFC Championship Farve would already be retired with another ring and a Grandpa at home. Instead the NFL executuives get the Greatest Show on Earth back for one More year and Farve becomes the First over 40 Grandpa to Win a Superbowl then Retire Hell be with his Daughter and Grandbaby on the Field at Superbowl Victory! Tops this years Baby on the Field and is remembered as one of the ALL TIME greatest NFL moments! You heard it hear 1st! Mason222 on twitter,

He’d have a much better chance in Washington, but the owner’s style is similar to Al’s….spend, dont develop team chemistry in anyway and switch out coaches……McNabb will see.

Florio you are a joke. Get a real story in here. If one is not available then just don’t write anything. Tell your boys the same thing. By the way enough with Donovan McNabb. He is a great QB who has been amazing in his career. Leave the guy alone already!

Florio, Florio, Florio,
Do you even see how stupid your tautological reasoning is on this?
You are basically saying “of course he is saying he would have played for the Raiders even though he didn’t want to, just in case later on he has to.”
Do you even read what you write? Is it that hard for you to take a man at his word? Must you try to spin the story as if the subject of the story is not an adult that can think and speak for himself?
Why are you such a Raider hater? Did a Raider fan take your lunch money as a kid or something? Or is it simply because nearly every story you write about the Raiders ends up being wrong?
P.S. Seymour says hello.
P.P.S. Read the CBA one day, your legal acumen is in serious question.

There are too many people that have access to the media that just flat out lie. That’s if the person writing the story isn’t just making it up. For along time, it hasn’t mattered if the story is true. Make something up to stir the pot and get the story spread around. Absence of malice was the beginning of the end. Now it’s just BS stories. Believe the hacks if you want. Buyer beware!

“There could be a day when he wants to continue to play pro football and no one but the Raiders wants him. Thus, there’s no reason to engage in a public bridge burning.”
What a contradiction! So hes lying that he doesnt want to play for the Raiders but he doesnt want to say anything bad in case he wants to play for the Raiders? Your retarded Florio.
The Foreskins suck more then the Raiders do, hence the 4-12 record and 4th over all draft pick.
My unnamed sources say Florio is gay, and takes it in the ass from Jamarcus Russel wearing his chain.

“This is the problem with some of these so-called key analysts and these smart guys out there who go by ‘sources,’” McNabb said.
Sounds like he’s talking about a certain website.
