Haters will hate, but you can't argue with the guy's ratings. I think that Crossing Broad hit the nail on the head.

Personally I was entertained by him many mornings. I do, however, blame him for Donovan McNabb not panning out as well as he could have. Cataldi and his bandwagon of buffoons booed McNabb on draft day because they wanted Andy Reid to draft Ricky Williams. I always thought that was rotten thing to do.

Ha I remember that my buddy and I were arguing that draft day at Dave and Busters I wanted Akili Smith instead and he wanted Dante Culpepper. We both ended up being way off.

Who knows what Dante Culpeper could have been with our offensive line and Reid designing the plays.

I remember that day very well, it was opening day of trout season and me my uncle and his friend were at a bar after a morning of fishing. We were playing pool and the Eagles drafted McNabb. He got booed and I remember being drunk off my ass and thinking it was fucked up but pretty crazy. Then we all went and passed out in the parking lot.

Culpeper could ball. The other big QB that draft was I think Tim Couch who was as bad as Akili.

Donovan not panning out had nothing to do with Angelo and everything to do with the front office not putting weapons around him.

That said, McNabb is still the best QB this team has had.

It was a shitty thing to do to a young, talented player who had just been drafted into the NFL.
