Oh What a Night

Last night I had a wonderful time at the Borgata in Atlantic City. I was there to support, and co-chair with my wife, the 2010 Virtua Gala. The event is intended to raise money for the new Virtua hospital in Voorhees for which a part of the building will be named the McNabb Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. That is an honor that me and my family are very proud and appreciative of.

Frankie Valli performed to cap off the night and this crowd really enjoyed the show.

My family really values our relationship with Virtua and applaud Rich Miller, Dr. John Tedeschi, Jane Yepez and Robin Endicott and their staffs for a wonderful evening.

I want to thank all of the people who attended and supported the event and also the many people I met outside of the event as well.

For those of you who would like to support the new hospital but could not attend, here is a link with information on how you can help - http://virtua.org/about/special-initiatives/mcnabb-program.aspx

  how about instead of going to AC u go work out with the team and try to get some players here or r u planing on leaving? maybe u should go run a couple laps around the block so u dont get winded late in games. put a f*cking tire on a rope and try to throw the ball through it to work on ur aim. and how about u actually respond to some of ur fans here on YB.

    funny 20dawk4life is that on mcnabbs last post after their loss to dallas. you said "yeah cant wait to see u in an Eagles uniform next year. Super Bowl win for the Eagles in dallass stadium. if ur reading this tell Desean to race Chris Johnson." really funny.
  • kevinlexo replied March 07, 2010

    Dawk your an idiot! Don works his butt off in the off season. He has busted his butt to come back from injuries in the past quicker than other athletes ever could. He comes into camp every year fit and in shape. If you got hit by a 300 pound lineman you wouldn't get up at all. Game over.......Do you have any idea what a broken rib feels like? He played football for the entire season two weeks after breaking his rib. He threw 4 TD's on a BROKEN LEG! in Chicago. If you want to be upset because this front office didn't waste money on some free agents then fine, but don't be attacking his work out habits.....that you clearly don't know anything about.

    just cause i want him back doesnt mean he doesnt need to work. r u happy with the way the season ended? it wasnt all dmac but he sure as hell didnt help. kolb would probably be dead if he was in there. and whats with bringing up old comments? that bored? and kevinlexo try to call me out when u know what ur talking about the 4tds on a broken leg was against the arizona cardinals not da bears. well i have never broken a rib i did bruise too n i understand that his ribs werent completely healed but that didnt seem to bother him when he was playing in the cold at home so why would it bother him in the warm in dallass makes no sense stop d!ck riding. he isnt perfect so dont praise the ground he walks on like hes the second coming of christ. and dmac should stay around his team in the offseason not go to arizona and work there. why do u think his timing is so off on crossing routes? as for being too hard on him no i dont thik i am on plenty of other articles i stick up for him. im willing to bet he doesnt write or read these articles. i know he doesnt respond to anyone. sh!t even brandon haywood responds to me after i called him a fat waste of life.

    Yeah I know if I was million dollar pro football player I would def be on here responding to some jerkoff like yourself. What do you do for a living anyway? Nevermind, I already know, and yes I would like fries with that you piece of shit. How hard is it to get my fuckin order right? All I asked for was no damn onions and your incompetent small brain couldnt figure out that all you have to do is not put fuckin onions on my burger. I know you only make $5 an hour and you dont really give a shit about your job because of that but come the fuck on dude! is it really that hard? I understand that its tough for someone of your mental capacity to get a better job, but you could have at least been a trash man or some other job where you dont have to interact with normal human beings. Then maybe you could leave the down syndrome kids to make my food w/o fuckin it up

    he's doing a good thing and charity work something that NFL players should be doing. But if it was anybody other than Donovan its OK. Get a life bro.
• Philadelphia87 said March 07, 2010

  oh what a night? Who do you think you are now Billy Joel? No update on the offseason? I guess you are not doing anything to get better then ....hopefully you'll get traded because everyone in this city is sick of you laughing after you throw the ball in the dirt or miss a wide open WR. What's so funny all the time Donovan? What, you can't be serious for 60 mins? Move on to a new team, Philadelphia is done with you. ( on a lighter note, it's good to see you raising money in AC instead of getting wasted like everyone else does)

    Philadelphia is not done with him at all. Donovan McNabb is the greatest thing that ever happened to this football team. It doesn't help that you and other fans want to run him out of town. What does that do for his confidence? I live in Washington and I know people that still support the team and their QB and they suck. Since when is 11-5 bad. And Kolb is overrated. Didn't do anything against B-more last year and he threw for 300 yards against 2 of the worst defenses. Oh and he threw 3 interceptions. Donovan I really hope you stay!
• justonce90 said March 07, 2010

Oh, when you do win the SB all of these classless remarks will be a thing of the past. Good luck 5! ANd there are still plenty of us on your side!!

  Ya, except with McNabb their will be no superbowl championship. Don't get me wrong, he could make a liar out of me (and i hope he does). One thing is you have 51 other players on the team that you owe to, to do you part in making this team better and yourself better so the goal can be reached. I have more class than others who made rigorous comments, but you have to be critical. If you don't take you job seriously and do what you are paid to do, then it should be like any other persons' job, you lose it. Clowning around inside the tunnel of the cowboys stadium before you lead your team out to get their butts stomped was childish and immature. Personally i don't even think you should have one more year but you do have one year McNabb, make it happen.

  Donovan, please excuse these classless fans. You are doing a great thing for the Voorhees community and I'm sure they are all very thankful for that. You are the greatest QB this city has ever seen and I hope you prove these naysayers wrong by bringing home a championship this year!

  You people are screwed up. Do you work perfecting your job 24 hours a day 7 days a week? Do you do anything positive for the community? Do you do anything positive for yourself? The guy is in AC raising money for a community that does nothing excepy bash him. Do you think he really wanted to be in a tuxedo, with a bunch of hypocrits that talk trash on him behind his back, but yet want to take a picture with him and shake his hand. Do you really think he wanted to listen to Frankie Valli? Philly doesn't deserve Donovan McNabb. ASSHOLES.

  YO WHATS UP FB. listen i been a die hard eagles fan all my life. iam so serious about that, i mean deeply. it amazes me that after the way the cowboys thrashed us last year....count it 3 times in a row, that the evil regime that is the eagles front office would get the idea. see the way i see it, they dont give a damn about this city or the fans. cause if they did, they would understand that PHILLY is all about winning. people label us the under-dogs, well the way the are running are team, we will forever hold that title. andy reid and joe banner is all about just putting people in the seats to see a team who is satisfied with just getting to the playoffs point blank period. And they know this, cause of the love us fan have for our team. so to end this, something has to be done man..lol, iam serious, we all need to boycott the front office of the eagles. dont attend no games, until this evil regime realize that we are the voice of this great city, and the green blood of the team. something has to be done. so with that being said, Philadelphia get ready for another boring, get your hopes up high,andy reid let me clear my throat, time is yours dull lame ass season. no pass-rushers, no safeties, and no replacement for 36. I HATE ANDY REID. and you can tell him that. peace

  Do you idiots think McNabb really reads your comments? So Dawk4Life and whatever other idiots post about his work ethic and what he does in the off-season, you really think he sits down and reads these comments and cares what you think about what he does? Professional athletes have a duty to not just be athlete, but also a citizen and figure in the community. Athletes careers are very short, and they have to worry about life after football.

  McNabb, why aren't you signing any free agents!?!?!? Why why why? Why are you so cheap, why did you release Witherspoon? Remember in 2008 when you allowed the Cardinals to rack up 32 points? You couldn't cover Fitzgerald for crap! Why do you choose to run on 3rd and 4 and pass on 3rd and 1? Why do you call unnecessary timeouts? Why do you choose not to establish a running game??? It's your fault the O-Line got tossed around in the Playoffs! Your fault your fault your fault!!!1111 Why did you choose to throw to guys like Mitchell, trash, Pinkston, and Greg Lewis for the majority of your career??? I DON'T CARE if EXPERTS in the NFL say your good! I see what I want to see!!11 I put all the blame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why don't you throw tantrums on the sidelines???
  
  I don't care if Phil Simms said your O-Line couldn't protect the QB in the Dallass game! Experts shmexperts.

  Donovan, you are a wonderful person. Those of us with a shred of common sense know that you have a life outside of football. This article proves that you are a family man with strong values, and there are other things you cherish and appreciate. We all know you love this team, and you have shown your dedication and perserverence, through your actions, and not just words. Ignore the ignorance, you are awesome on and off the field. Your true fans love and respect you. Keep doing what you're doing! We look forward to the upcoming season, do YOU Donovan!

  I can not understand why some people write things like this. Each of you who calls donovan Stupid and things like that I'm sure are the best at your jobs as well. I'm sure you have been a top employee 5 or 6 times in 6 years in an entire INDUSTRY RIGHT?? Let me remind each of you that the NFL is a league in which the very BEST players come from all over the world to try and make a team. Donovan McNabb has been consistently among the BEST in the league for 10 years! Are you kidding me? You want to run the best player this team has ever seen out of town while coming off two of his best years statistically in his career? I guess Donovan did let Arizona's offense score at the end of the NFC championship in 08 though... oh no wait... That was the Defense. You people need to get a LIFE and just appreciate what you have before its gone! Don, you are a the classiest of individuals in the league filled with arrests and things of that nature. Don't let these people get you down. I live in Florida, but I have seen you play 3 times in New Orleans in my life. I go every time you come to town. I'll be seeing you in Jacksonville next year. I hope that you retire an eagle. You have given the TRUE fans 10 + years of excitement and thrills and I thank you for that! God bless, Keep up the good work!

  Shit man! I've been a Philly fan all my life and I've seen the ups and downs. I realize why there is such a stigma about Philly fans... because were dickheads! Look at all this bullshit you guys are talking about a man who has busted his ass, and produced great results, for the last 10 years. For the last couple years I have argued that Dmac is one of the greatest QB's but because of dumb ass fair weather fans, he is one of the most under rated QB's of all time. You assholes dont realize what you have until its gone! I would love to see the eagles win a sb but you jerkoffs dont even appreciate your players who would actually make it happen. Im sorry to say it but I fuckin hate Philly fans!!!!

  Not even the great Michael Jordan himself could not win the big game until they surrounded him with all the right pieces. Donavan will beccome the 1st quaterback who will make it to the hall of fame and he never had a serious running game or prolofic wide receiver behind him.

  I was born in Philadelphia and things were so bad in the 90's that I rooted for the Cowboys during the Kotite/Rhodes era. Then you, 20, and 36 joined the team and turned my life around. Thanks for all of your hard work over the years, you have been a great player and leader to cheer for. I live in DC now and will see you this year with my 5 jersey on. Thank you for everything, you will be missed.
