McNabb to call some NFL games for Fox this season

NEW YORK (AP) -- Retired quarterback Donovan McNabb will call some NFL games for Fox this season.

McNabb will rotate with former NFL and Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and longtime linebacker Kirk Morrison as a color commentator alongside play-by-play announcer Dick Stockton.

McNabb has worked as an analyst for Fox Sports 1 since the network launched a year ago. The second pick in the 1999 draft, McNabb played 13 NFL seasons. He led the Philadelphia Eagles to four straight NFC championship games and one Super Bowl.

Fox also announced Wednesday that recently retired New York Giants offensive lineman David Diehl will call games with Thom Brennaman, replacing Brian Billick. Longtime defensive back Ronde Barber takes over for Tim Ryan as the analyst paired with Chris Myers. Barber worked with Stockton last season.

Oh gawd no.

Take a shot for every time Mcnabb starts a sentence with "well, when I played..." and your 2nd qtr buzz would make booze blush.

How much you want to bet he does at least one of the Cowboys/Eagles games?

 

[boozeman]

What a horrid choice.

Sounds like they are trying to get Stockton to quit. On one hand you have this...

And the other, you have this in Brady Quinn...

Possibly the worst news to come outofthe nfl this year.

I hope he does. And I hope we stomp the shit out of them and he has to try to remain unbiased. It'll be like watching a train wreck.

McNabb might have to puke during the 4th quarter.

Quinn signed with the Dolphins, so more McNabb.

I hope we stomp the shit out of them too, but there isn't much love between McNabb and the Eagles these days. He probably hates the Cowboys as well, but I doubt he'd shed a tear if the Eagles got curb stomped.
