Like anyone should listen to a dork who drives his head into a curb.

"I think people are making too big a deal and are.....Hey, shiny thing!"

You can be an NFL quarterback. You can be stupid. You can't be both. This is like when Dan Quayle put an "e" on the end of "potato." Half the people in the country, and 2/3 of the people in Congress would have done the same thing.

Unrelated confession:
I have been watching Soccer for years now and I still cant understand offsides.

Its hard to explain soccer in general. A man's sport where you can't use your arms and hands.....only your feet? ****!!!

This coming from a man who rides a motorcycle without a helmet..

I think any organization that houses geniuses like Terell Owens, Wade Phillips and the Pacman should NOT throw stones....

On an unrelated topic, at least 50% of people realize they should wear a helmet when riding a Suzuki Hayabusa.

HA!...'morning crazy!!!

who can fault McNabb for telling the truth. Half the fans at the NFL games don't know the rules either. Half the refs on the field seem to have only a passing grasp on the rules. And without a doubt, some of the players are clueless as well.

This may be true, but if my JOB was PLAYING IN THE NFL, I might take a little time to learn the rules!!!! Just sayin'.....

Well said. The man has playing since he was probably 5 or 6, he should know the rules.

Offsides is simple: at the exact moment of a pass, there have to be two defenders at the same line (parallel to the goal line, that is) or deeper than the target player.

The offsides rule does not apply: on throw-ins; when the target player is in his defending field at the moment of the pass; when the target player is behind the ball; in corner kicks (because everybody is behind the ball); or when the target player intentionally gives up on participating on the play, which characterizes "passive offsides" - like romario (#11) did in brazil's second goal against holland in dallas, confusing the defence and allowing his onside teammate to score and celebrate to his newborn son. Genius!

Besides that, go study, dude! The guy makes millions and won`t read a **** rule book! He should be fined by his own team!

Here is the question...

... what difference does it make that he was not aware of games ending in a tie? It's not like he can keep playing when the game ends.

Where is the harm in him not knowing an NFL game can end in a tie?

The urgency which you play. If you think you get another OT, you may not make a tough throw to get your team in FG position. You'll play it safe, and settle for the punt.

If you are seriously asking these questions and not being sarcastic.......I'm frightened.

If you are getting paid 7 figures to do your job....NOW YOUR $%^&ing job!!!
