Jason Whitlock, Fox Sports' professional contrarian and TRUTH-teller, playfully addresses Matt Vasgersian's MLB announcer awkwardness and declares himself "Racial Apology Czar." Oh, and he attacks Deadspin again.

Bernard Hopkins Not Exactly In Donovan McNabb's Corner
And now a few words from Bernard Hopkins, former middleweight and light heavyweight world champion, Philadelphia native (Germantown), prison guest and all-around badass. Subject: Donovan McNabb. Venue: KNBR-680 (San Francisco) radio, Thursday afternoon. Mood: Huffy. Key quote: "I wish the Wizard of Oz would come back out, man, so I could put McNabb in it as the character who needs to see the wizard to get a heart." More »

Deion Sanders Forces Philly Fans to Engage in Some Long-Overdue Self-Reflection
This news is a bit old, but you're probably still so doped up on tryptophan at the moment that you won't know the difference. Deion Sanders had some not-so-nice words for Eagles fans following Philly's big Thanksgiving Day rout of the Cardinals. During the NFL Network's postgame interview with Donovan McNabb, Prime Time took exception to what he deemd to be fairweather treatment of the QB by the Philadelphia faithful. Seems some fans stuck around for the interview to cheer their beleaguered star's four touchdown performance, but Sanders was having none of it: More »

Dim-Witted Donovan McNabb Sick Of Talking About Dim-Wittedness
Obviously, I'm not happy about how things in Iggle-ville right now, but given my state of euphoria after a Phillies championship it's tough to get too angry about the dumbfounding dipshittery that has crippled this football team this year. Granted, the recent revelations about Donovan McNabb's complete lack of knowledge about the overtime rule are troubling, but really not that big of a deal. I'm a fan of Donovan and do think the Eagles are a better football team with him, even when he's taking out foot-long divots with his out-passes and vomiting in the huddle. After almost 10 years in the league, this is just a remarkable admission. Yesterday, McNabb joked about the incident, calling himself a "trendsetter" for being honest about his ignorance, which isn't going to go over too well in Philadelphia. (You can't blame the guy for trying to lighten the mood.) More » -

Finally; Rosie Perez Arrives To Explain This NFL Tie Business
The more I hear about it, the more convinced I am that this Eagles-Bengals tie quote is going to be Donovan McNabb's legacy; like Chris Webber's time out with none remaining, or the ground ball through Buckner's wickets. I'm not saying that's fair, it's just the way it's gonna be. Because when videos like this pop up less than 24 hours after McNabb said he didn't know there were ties in the NFL, well, it goes to show that the situation has just taken on a life of its own.

Donovan McNabb Would Like To Use One of His Lifelines
OK it's true, Donovan McNabb had no idea that there was such a thing as a tie in the NFL (see video below). But let's not pick on him; it seems that there were several members of the Eagles and Bengals who were unaware of the rule, as unbelievable as that might sound. In what will go down in my household as a tragic waste of some very nice avocado dip, the teams stumbled to a 13-all deadlock on Sunday, the first time since 2002 that NFL teams will use two dashes when listing their records. Ha. Just like soccer. More »

Surprise, Surprise: Terrell Owens is Once Again Acting Childish
The 2004 season in which Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens teamed up to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to their first Super Bowl since 1980 was one of the greatest seasons my maligned city has seen in decades. Terrell Owns was a huge part of that and was beloved for it … before his real lunacy started to shine through. Well it’s been three years and T.O.’s crazy is back. Again. With his most recent comments on how Donovan was jealous of T.O.’s limelight and how Terrell was happy to “share it,” Owens is writing some revisionist history. More » -
NFL News and Notes
Merriman Weighs His Options
Shawne Merriman has a PCL tear in his left knee, now all that's left to determine is what he and the team plan on doing about it. At this point Merriman can get back on the field with his unstable joint, or he can opt for one of two surgical options. A partial reconstruction could get him back on the field this season, and a full reconstruction would put him out for the entire year. Considering that the Chargers don't really give a shit about Merriman's long-term health they are going to push him to return for the opener, but the linebacker should proceed with caution. His best bet is to get Norv Turner's opinion on the matter and then do the exact opposite of whatever that dumbfuck suggests. More » -

Authors With Pure Hearts: Jere Longman
It has been brought to our attention that, as much as people might like our Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks feature, sometimes it's nice to point out good sportswriting. We agree; we're very friendly people and love great sportswriting as much, if not more, than anyone. Henceforth, we introduce our Sports Authors With Pure Hearts segment, which will feature interviews with sportswriters who have written books that we think are worthy of the all-powerful Deadspin stamp. Think of us like the Oprah of the sportswriting world, only with larger breasts. (If you'd like to nominate a book for this feature, just let us know. More »

The Woe Of The Eagles Fan
There was a moment last night, during the Eagles' season-crushing 21-20 loss to the Cowboys, when you really grasped just how difficult it must be to be an Eagles fan. Ordinarily, we scoff when fans of successful teams complain about their suffering; we root for the Arizona freaking Cardinals, so don't tell us about suffering. But Eagles fans ... sometimes you just feel like the world really doesn't like them. More » -

NFL Roundup: Party Para Mexico
• We're a little slow this morning, because did a shot every time ESPN showed some Mexican "culture" during last night's 31-14 Buzzsaw victory over the 49ers. We know it's unusual to play a game in another country, but the slack-jawed awe of the broadcasters last night — "look, another local! These people are confused by the 'Foot Ball'" — made it seem like they were playing the game in Burundi. For the record, Mexico City is closer to Houston than Atlanta is. More » -

We haven't checked in on Terrell Owens for a while; how's it goin', Terrell? Well, looks like he and Donovan McNabb still aren't talking, which isn't a big deal, since we can't imagine their level of discourse is all that high anyway. ("Donovan, I'm concerned about the lack of geopolitical debate about the ozone." "Agreed, Terrell, outside of Harper's and The Nation, it appears we're lacking legitimate dissent. Debate is key to a free society.") More » -
