Mike Shanahan Addresses Albert Haynesworth, Donovan McNabb Drama
By David Elfin - AOL NewsRedskins coach Mike Shanahan, who spent much of 2010 in wars of wills with his richest players, quarterback Donovan McNabb and defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, has still declined to reveal whether either is definitely finished in Washington although the former ended the season third-string and the latter on suspension. In his first media session since his Redskins debut season ended with a 6-10 thud, Shanahan on Friday said that he and six-time Pro Bowl quarterback McNabb, for whom he gave up second- and fourth-round draft picks to acquire last April, haven't spoken in the seven-plus ...
NFC East: New York Giants Producing Most Drama-Free Offseason So Far
By David Elfin - AOL NewsNew York likes to call itself the city that never sleeps. And indeed, the city of my birth remains a wonder after dark. Where else can you get whatever food you might want at 4 AM? But it's appropriate that the Big Apple's most revered football team calls sleepy East Rutherford, N.J. home because the Giants have been very quiet since coach Tom Coughlin's "kiss my ..." tirade became public in the first days after New York won its finale but still missed the playoffs with a 10-6 record. In contrast, the New Meadowland Stadium's other team, the Jets, coached by media magnet Rex Ryan, dominated ...
Bruce Allen: 'Skins Won't Rush Decisions on Donovan McNabb, Albert Haynesworth
By David Elfin - AOL NewsRedskins general manager Bruce Allen met with the media on Thursday and was evasive on almost every topic. The most interesting answer came when one wry reporter asked when unhappy quarterback Donovan McNabb and malcontent defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth would become eligible to join the team's alumni association. In other words, when will Washington's two highest-profile players, each of whom finished the season inactive, become ex-Redskins? "No time soon," Allen said, echoing coach Mike Shanahan's comments the day after the 6-10 season ended that he didn't feel compelled to make any ...
Freddie Mitchell Looking for Love on 'Millionaire Matchmaker'
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsThe Eagles drafted wide receiver Freddie Mitchell in the first round of the 2001 draft. The highlight of his on-field career was being on the receiving end of Donovan McNabb's 4th-and-26 pass during the 2003 playoffs. In general, Mitchell was known less for his pass-catching ability than he was for his wacky fashion sense and the ironic nicknames he created for himself. FredEx has been out of the league since 2004 and in that time he's been a substitute teacher and ... well, that's about it. Until now. Mr. Mitchell will be "featured" on "Millionaire Matchmaker," a show that apparently ...
Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb Biggest Surprises Among NFC East QBs
By David Elfin - AOL NewsThe NFC East began 2010 with three elite quarterbacks and one unproven starter. The team that began the season on Sept. 12 with the unproven quarterback won the division even though he wound up starting just five games. Meanwhile, one of the elite trio's seasons ended with an injury in his fifth game, another was benched in December and the third led the league in interceptions. And the quarterback who replaced the unproven one is starting the Pro Bowl. That shows you how much things can change in the span of a few months in the NFL. So here's a look at the NFC East's quarterbacks. EAGLES -- ...
End of Year Memory: Dallas Opens With Thud at Washington
By Dave Goldberg - AOL News"So it's a 'Hail Mary' or a kneel down and it's going to be the former,'' Al Michaels intoned as the Cowboys lined up at their own 36-yard-line against the Redskins, trailing 3-0 with four seconds left in an otherwise uneventful first half in the NFL's season's opening Sunday night game. Actually, it was neither a kneel down or a Hail Mary. It was a botched flip from Tony Romo to Tashard Choice that set the tone for a Dallas season that quickly spiraled to 1-8 and got Wade Phillips fired despite Jerry Jones' historic reluctance to let a coach go during a season. With the ultimate irony: the ...
Donovan McNabb-Shanahans Saga Continues
By David Elfin - AOL NewsDonovan McNabb vs. Mike and Kyle Shanahan, the Redskins' story that won't end (replacing long-running predecessor Mike Shanahan vs. Albert Haynesworth) continued Tuesday with McNabb's weekly appearance on Washington's ESPN-980 radio. In his first comments since his agent, Fletcher Smith, and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan traded jibes last week, McNabb sided with the former while being careful not to rip the latter. In a statement issued last Thursday, Smith accused the Shanahans of treating McNabb very badly while demoting the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback to second-string behind Rex ...
Donovan McNabb Supports Agent's Criticism of Redskins
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsDonovan McNabb said Tuesday that he stands by agent Fletcher Smith for Smith's hyper-critical comments about Mike and Kyle Shanahan in the wake of McNabb's benching. "I support my agent and his thoughts," McNabb said on his weekly radio show. "When I read the whole thing, I didn't see nothing wrong with it." Last week, Smith said, as part of a lengthy statement: "While Donovan's feelings about Washington remain the same, the Shanahans -- both Mike and more specifically Kyle -- have made this an extremely difficult relationship to maintain. Their comments have been beyond disrespectful and ...
Eagles' Roster Almost Totally Revamped Since Winning Last NFC East Title
By David Elfin - AOL NewsWith a blizzard hitting Philadelphia and their game against Minnesota postponed from Sunday night until Tuesday, the Eagles weren't able to properly celebrate clinching the NFC East crown for the first time in four years thanks to the New York Giants' loss at Green Bay on Sunday afternoon. Not that many of the Eagles know what it's like to toast a division title. Only 11 of the 53 players on the active roster suited up when Philadelphia last claimed the championship back in 2006. That list includes: receiver Jason Avant; offensive linemen Nick Cole and Todd Herremans; defensive lineman ...
Donovan McNabb: 'I Know Nothing' About Report That He Wants Out
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsAccording to a Sunday report, Donovan McNabb is planning to ask the Redskins for his release after the season. According to McNabb, that report isn't true. Asked after the Redskins' overtime win against the Jaguars about the report, McNabb shot it down. "I don't know where that came from," he said. "I know nothing about it." A release would cap a tumultuous first season in Washington for McNabb, who was benched for Rex Grossman in an October game amidst speculation about his endurance. He and the team then agreed to a surprising extension. McNabb was demoted to No. 3 quarterback in ...
