Either Bruce Allen really hates working for the Redskins...

[OCmike]

...or Donovan McNabb has an 8x10 glossy of Allen in a gimp suit with a zippered mouth.

There's no other way to explain this:

McNabb signs $78 million extension

And $40 million guaranteed?!

Pretty simple to explain actually. When McNabb feels like his vagina has been bruised he makes his current team pay him. Eagles did it and now the skins did.. they just added a few extra zeros to the deal.

[poptart]

78 million with 40 million guaranteed for 33 yr old DUHnovan McNubb is HILARIOUS.

Yeah, you're the boss, Dan, we get it.


Rat = one and done.

[War Wagon]

Unbelievably ludicrous.

[Screw_Michigan]

McNabb has two good years left. If you cut him after two, that's $20 mill per season. Now watch them not improve the OL and let their investment go to waste.

[mvscal]

Sounds about right for the 28th rated passer in the league.

:paul: :paul: :paul:

[Screw_Michigan]

Skinnies taking it up the shitpipe right now. Way to come out flat, assholes.

[velocet]

All that commitment to some washed up lowlife POS.

maybe he's got McDaniels lined up to trade for him

Well since you put i that way...it's still stupid. To put it in perspective, Peyton Manning's cap number for 2010 is $21 million.

Exactly. I'm not making excuses for the decision, trust me.

Update from PFT: Looks like only $3.5 mil is guaranteed if Skins cut him loose after the season.

On Monday, ESPN’s Michael Smith reported that McNabb and the Redskins “have agreed to a five year extension, worth 78 million, 40 guaranteed.”

No one believed that McNabb was getting $40 million guaranteed. But since Smith and ESPN wanted to be first to report the news of the extension, they passed along the phony contract numbers on a don’t ask/don’t tell basis.

Now, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that McNabb’s deal includes only $3.5 million in guaranteed money.

So Smith and ESPN were wrong, to the tune of $36.5 million. And now Schefter and ESPN are right.

McNabb can get another $10 million in the form of a 2011 option bonus, if the Redskins opt to pay it. If the team that decided to bench McNabb for Rex Grossman only 15 days ago decides after Week 17 that Donovan isn’t the long-term answer, McNabb will be traded or cut.

Beyond that, McNabb has non-guaranteed base salaries of $2.5 million in 2011, $12.75 million in 2012, $13 million in 2013, $13.75 million in 2014, and $13.55 million in 2015. The total base salaries for No. 5 over five years? $55.55 million.

He can also earn roster bonuses of $250,000 in 2010, $750,000 in 2011, $750,000 in 2012, $1.5 million in 2013, $3 million in 2014, and $2.25 million in 2015 if he’s on the active roster for each game in each year. That’s another $8.5 million. To get to that number, however, McNabb has to not miss a single game due to injury. In five years.

So it’s not a $78 million contract. And it’s not even close to $40 million guaranteed.

3.5 million or 40 million...who really cares? Just a rounding error, right? Solid journalism from Smith (who should be unemployed this morning).

Solid journalism from Smith (who should be unemployed this morning).

You kidding? This is ESPN we are talking about. Who cares if it's sensationalistic bullshit? They got to "break" the story twice. The punishment in Bristol for journalism like that is your own collumn and/or a guest host spot on PTI.

I would consider it punishment to have to appear on a show with Jay Marriotti and Woody Paige.

Redskins-Eagles pregame scuffle only fired up Philadelphia and exposed Washington

...the Redskins topped themselves on Monday night when several of them went out of their way to pick a yelling, shoving match with the Eagles long before kickoff. Eventually both teams were one big scrum on the Eagles' sideline.

By the time the insults, curses and pushes had been broken up by officials, with some Redskins like DeAngelo Hall and Santana Moss still screaming as if they'd driven an enemy off their sacred turf, the Eagles went to their locker room with smoke coming out of their ears.

Like they say in the schoolyard, the Redskins started it, but the Eagles finished it. One play into the second quarter, the Eagles led 35-0.

The usual suspects, I see. Just when you thought that beatdown couldn't have been any more embarassing...

[R-Jack]

Outside of being Jay Cutler's favorite reciever, DeAngelo Hall is utter shit in every aspect of life.

He can't even pick a fight without fucking it up.

I saw the fight. They were showing it on the local pre-game show. It was all Landry. DeAngelo came out of the tunnel to help out.

Oh, you mean the dumbass who got scorched by an 80 yard bomb on the first play of the game?

[Screw_Michigan]

Yep, right on the money.

[jiminphilly]

Another "great" signing by the Skins. Had this fat fuck gotten off the ground he might have kept Herrimeans engaged long enough for the other guy to sack or hurry Vick and prevent a TD.

[War Wagon]

well Jim, he had a great initial burst.

[Shoalzie]

If I didn't know better, I'd think the Skins are trying to overtake the Lions as the worst NFL franchise. If you can't beat 'em, become them.

At least the Lions never had any delusions of relevance.

No, that's LionFan. I think the phrase "Turning the Corner" is crocheted on a pillow in every delusional fan's house. I think they're better than before but before, they were the worst team in NFL history. You can only go up from there but they've got several atmospheres to pass before the Lions are relevant again. I think they've improved from god-awful to just being flat out bad.
