graffjd Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I can't believe I just heard him say that he really wants to be back here next year and loves playing for the fans and the team. I know he is always gonna be PC, but he so could have said we will see what happens in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champskins Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hes a good dude man, I just hope he gets to play somewhere where he can fit in the scheme and really help a struggling team out... unfortunately he could not do that for us. Not everyones perfect for every team. Hes always been a good mentor though and thats something that you can not take away from him. His first class attitude is coach worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGI Jef Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 a) id also like to MAKE IT RAIN WITH MILLION DOLLAR BILLS truth be told, merely being benched is a pretty small controversy compared to some of the things donovan has (mostly unfairly) been wrapped up in. he has had some practice with putting on a PC face, to say the least.

SMOSS89 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The one thing I heard that was interesting is that he found out who the "sources" are in the organization who keep leaking stories to ESPN and the like. Said he talked to them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana_4_prez Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Kinda feel sorry for him. He sounds like he really wants to be here. It's just too bad he has not played that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Even though it has appeared to not work, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graffjd Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Its funny, because i was ready to say he was gone, now i am wondering if this whole thing is a way to evaluate Rex before possibly giving him another contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onedrop Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Kinda feel sorry for him. He sounds like he really wants to be here.It's just too bad he has not played that well. i like McNabb and wish he could have worked out or gets better and stays. however, i feel bad for US...weve BEEN here and suffered forever.

Dallsux Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 He'll be a great fit in Minnesota where he wanted to go in the first place. With Favre on his way out, they'll need him & he'll fit well in their system. And I'm pretty sure, he still wants to go there. He has always been very respectable in the media. Would never try to take that from him. TO & Limbaugh taught him that. Eitherway... Peace & bacon grease, D. Mac! Enjoy the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think he's just being PC and preventing any more controversy. The redskins will have to pay him 10million dollars next season in a bonus, I highly doubt the skins will pay a backup 10 million + base salary to ride the bench.

graffjd Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 He just said again that he really wants to be here and he does not want a trade. I am curious now about who he thinks the leak is, " He said "I know what is going on". Thought before the media leaks that he had a good relationship with Kyle.

Mad Mike Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The one thing I heard that was interesting is that he found out who the "sources" are in the organization who keep leaking stories to ESPN and the like. Said he talked to them directly. Wow. That's kind of a bombshell right there. Makes me think it was a player or at least someone in the locker room vs a front office guy. I hope he straightened their arse out. And Donovan is a classy guy, but count me among the few (one?) who think that there wasn't much that Shanahan could have done to make this easier on him. He tried to do that the first time and people freaked out because the nicer, watered down explanation he gave didn't justify the benching in peoples minds. The bottom line is, Shanahan isn't here to hold players hands. He's here to find a way to turn this team around. If someone is not playing up to the standards he expects to make that happen, his job is to coach them up if he can, or replace them if someone behind them on the depth chart shows promise of playing better.

Skinsinparadise Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Maybe the nicest, classiest/most charismatic interview in sports, and he was like that today too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washedup2 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 he's a team guy, his thoughts are always about the other players and the team. he realizes if he makes more of this, that it will ultimately effect his teammates....Haynesworth=the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Classy? He danced around and insinuated a lot without exactly saying it. I guess some people will see that as classy but I saw it as just being politically correct. He also not once pointed the finger at himself for being in this position in the first place. He could have been a total jackass and thrown everyone under the bus but he didnt and never will. He's not the type to be openly critical and that's commendable.

texasthunder Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 PFB is reporting that McNabb and Haynesworth were at Alberts favorite water hole a couple weeks ago, and they shared stories as to their future. McNabb now feels like Haynesworth leaked the story in an effort to get some cash to pay off debts. More info to be released by Chris Mortenson at ESPN.
