If true, I don't think "Bad News" finds him. I think he brings it upon himself.

 

[elimunelson]

Soooo surprised by this (sigh). He wasn't exactly an angel on the Hill back in the day.

Weird how 3 of our best NFL players ever: Jim Brown, Marvin Harrison, Don McNabb are 3 duplicitous actors for completely different reasons.

Is he still on the BOT?

 

[elimunelson]

i thought he was a fake BOT member. I recall CTO saying there are a few tiers of BOT.

Is he still on the BOT?

Maybe ask that question again tomorrow.

McNabb has proven over the last few years that he is not especially bright.

Much easier to admire an athlete when you care only about their exploits on the field.

I presume that Jami Cantor looks a lot like Ted Koppel?

McNabb is a dope for countless reasons. Figure after the 5 DWI's he may have realized he needs to walk the straight and narrow. He also always sounds like he needs to blow his nose or has a head cold when he's on TV or radio. I am sure his suspension from ESPN is coming within the next 5 minutes and rightfully so.

Don't care where he graduated from, he's a DOPE

A great piece of advice I was once given...

Never make an effort to meet your childhood hero in person because there is a good chance you will end up disappointed.

Sigh.

I know this is going to come off wrong, so first let me say on the face of it and without the defendants position, I take her word for it that these things happened. It's disturbing and these guys are pieces of if true. HOWEVER, why did she stay as long as she did? That's what puzzles me. Ok, maybe the first time or two, but it seems she was propositioned, touched, grabbed, groped numerous times. Why didn't she leave and sue earlier? Hell, why didn't she call police? I'm struggling to believe that she was scared or she felt her career would be ruined (she was a hairdresser). I'm probably wrong, and can't understand being in her shoes.

Looks like we need to edit our ACC promo video.

Maybe because she was paid well and needed the money.. same reason countless people stay at jobs they don't like, sounds like she was outnumbered as well working with a big group of idiotic meatheads. I get she was fired but doesn't make any of it right as you said. I am sure the job is desireable and probably can't walk out the door and find a comparable position with regard to pay, etc all that easily. Just a guess

Could be. I would hope money doesn't trump sexual harassment in many people's life, but probably does.

I agree with what you are saying but who knows really why things like this happen over such long periods of time. Also, I am sure there is much more to the story as well

It will be interesting what the ex-players come out with.

You forgot our All American wideout Tommy "OJ" Kane too.

That's why I will never try to meet Zack Morris.

This is often true but I had a fantastic experience meeting Reggie Jackson. I fully understand not everyone has had the same experience with ol Reg but he was super nice to me.

Agreed, I am sure she's not squeaky clean in all of this either.. With regard to McNabb though, he's no different than any of these other guys.

I guess being married doesn't mean much of anything to these guys either

LOL...sounds like they would've fired Warren Sapp too, if he hadn't already been fired for beating up a hooker.
Why do I keep picturing Heath Evans trying to impress women with things like, how many push ups he can do, keg stands, and crushing a beer can on his forehead?
