What Donovan and Charlie Have in Common
They let the Louisville do the talking.
McNabb was asked about his concerns over security in the wake of Plaxico Burrress shooting himself and was then asked about carrying guns.
"I don’t have any weapons," he began. "I don’t own any weapons unless you call a couple of Louisville sluggers and aluminum baseball bats some of my weapons, but if you come into my house I am going to turn into Barry Bonds on you."
Whoever did the blog this morning over at the Daily News actually made a funny with this quip:
Although we suggest he should have gone this route: "I don't have any weapons ... but you all have known that for years."
Heyyyyyyyyyo!

I have a bat that I got from my grandpop's basement. It's "signed" by Hank Aaron (it is very old). I hope to never have to use it to crack skulls, but I held it and squeezed it and made out with it throughout the Phillies WS run. It's good luck.

Hilarious. I would have died laughing if he'd made a crack like that.

That really would've been hysterical, but given McNabb made his best funny in years, if not ever, with his "the janitor told me" line last week, it's probably beyond wishful thinking to think he might've had anything better than the Louisville slugger line in reserve. Once a great QB, but never really had the comedy gene.

...but if you come into my house I am going to swing wildly at your ankles and wave my bat just out of arm's length above your head.

I was wondering how he's going to play catch with his kids. Would it be more "throw and chase"? Should he pick up soccer so he can just kick a ball around? If he has two minutes to get his kids to practice, does he mistakenly take ten? If one of his kids acts up in school and he's called into a high-pressure conference with the teacher and principal, does he throw up just as it begins? I need further clarification.

McNabb never had the comedy gene? Have you ever seen interviews with him? He's hilarious and rarely serious for long
During one of the Jeff Garcia games, the camera cut to the skybox where McNabb was sitting - as soon as he realized the cameras were on him he started doing the robot. That's funny.

Imagine walking into a club with that hidden in your sweatpants.
