Bernard Hopkins Slams Donovan McNabb On Radio Show
Boxer Bernard Hopkins criticized the play of Philadelphia Eagles Donovan McNabb while being interviewed on a Philly sports radio talk show.
Appearing on Philadelphia's KNBR, Hopkins was scheduled to discuss the Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao fight. Instead, Hopkinds, a native of Philadelphia, tore into McNabb.
"Oh man, lack of performance, lack of heart. 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. The thing is this, man: Philadelphia is hungry for — yeah we've got the Phillies — but I mean the Super Bowl year. It's all about character and heart and wanting to win the biggest trophy in football. There is just no urgency of going out on your shield to try and win the biggest prize.
"You look out there and he's throwing up; maybe he had a bad oyster. Is this guy focused and is his head in it? Or is the money already banked and he just doesn't care? The worst personnel move that Philadelphia has made was getting rid of Garcia and getting rid of T.O. I know that T.O. wasn't a church mouse, wasn't an angel, but the chemistry was there for a moment to win. If they listen to me over there in personnel, get McNabb over to Chicago, or whoever will take him, I don't know. But that won't happen as long as Andy Reid is there. They need to get rid of those two cancers for the team to move forward."
The long-time middleweight champ then criticized McNabb for admitting that he didn't know football games could end in a tie.
"Come on, that's just like me being a boxer for more than 20 years, and I get knocked out on the canvas and I say OK, I've got 15 seconds to get up, and I get up and say 'Why'd you stop the fight?' These are the idiotic things he's been doing all along."
