With his team coasting toward a berth in the NFC championship game, Donovan McNabb picked up a phone on the New York Giants sideline after running out of bounds and had a brief, fake conversation before getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
The Philadelphia Eagles were leading the defending Super Bowl champions by a score of 23-11 with 3:07 remaining in the game when McNabb grabbed the phone. He had been chased to the Giants sideline by linebacker Chase Blackburn after a gain of 8 yards and ran directly over to a small table, picked up one of the phones that connects the sideline with the coaching booth and pretended like he was engaging in a brief chat.
"Hello, information? Yes, I was wondering if the NFC championship game can end in a tie?"
After the game, FOX's Chris Myers asked McNabb about the move. He acknowledged that he shouldn't do such things, but stopped short of apologizing. Instead, he blamed his antics on over-excitement.
I have always hated all the stupid rules against taunting and celebrating. These guys are fucking animals who are beating on each other for my amusement. If some taunting and celebrating enrages them more, then I am all for it. What are we, third graders?
They are sacrificing their bodies for this game. Many of them are so beat up they waddle around like Ditka the rest of their lives. Let them taunt and jeer all they want. They've earned it. It's part of the entertainment.
That said, you will notice that Donovan McNabb did not taunt after his rushing TD in the first quarter to take the lead. Nor did Donovan McNabb taunt after throwing a TD pass early in the fourth quarter to open up a 9-point lead.
No...Donovan McNabb waited until there were only a couple of minutes left in the game to do his taunting. That is because Donovan McNabb is a fucking pussy who knew that with only 3:08 left, it was far less likely that someone like 315-pound gaurd Kevin Boothe would get ahold of Donovan McNabb's femur and snap it like a dried piece of shit.
