Coach Shanny Calls McNabb a Fatty

ASHBURN, Va. -- Mike Shanahan has a new explanation for benching Donovan McNabb. The Washington Redskins coach says the quarterback wasn't in good enough shape to run a two-minute offense with no timeouts. Shanahan on Monday said McNabb has been struggling with hamstring injuries for five weeks and didn't have the "cardiovascular endurance" to stay on the field with the game on the line against Detroit. Shanahan said he even considered not playing McNabb at all against the Lions. Shanahan yanked McNabb for Rex Grossman with 1:50 to play in the 37-25 loss, a move than stunned the locker room and had teammates questioning the team's commitment to the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback. McNabb looked fine during the game and even rushed for a team-high 45 yards.

 

Yikes. Telling your starting QB that he's out of shape is like telling your woman you think she could afford to lose a few pounds. You better have a couple good shots in the spank bank after that 'cause you're not even gonna get a whiff of that ass for a week. And then you stick the dagger in the heart by saying you'd rather have Rex Grossman run your 2 minute offense? How the fuck is he in shape to run the offense when he hasn't taken a snap all year and McNabb isn't? Tell me I'm stupid, that I can't fill out a V-neck right and a tad bit ugly but don't you dare lie to me and say you thought Rex Grossman was a better option over Donovan.
