Donovan McNabb Is 15 Years Old
The always good (and thorough!) Bounty Bowl points out (with censored vulgarity!) over the weekend Donovan McNabb was wearing a one-liner t-shirt. And not just any kind of one-liner t-shirt: An inspirational one-liner t-shirt. (He’s also wearing a WWJD bracelet, which means not only is he 15 year old, he’s 15 years old in 1997. Like me!) The blog also helpfully transcribed the shirt for us, since, yeah, I wasn’t going to read all of that:
Gah. Gah. GAH! Donovan. You’re in your 30s. I stopped wearing one-liner shirts sometime before freshman year. (Yes, I have a t-shirt with a bracket on it that has the #16 seed me over the #1 seed you, but I bought it to support my friend’s website.) McNabb actually seemed to figure out that inspirational slogan t-shirts — even worse than “funny” shirts — were bad, as he stopped wearing them after showing up in 2006 with one. But now… ugh. Ugh. But please: If you’re going to wear an inspirational slogan t-shirt, at least make it a little better than that? That’s clumsier than my dancing. Sweet f*cking Chr*st, he’s wearing T-shirts with slogans again [Bounty Bowl] |

Also: Yes, people will criticize McNabb for ANYTHING. But t-shirts are a domain of this website.
Not nearly as much fun as Randall Cunningham’s annual training camp caps — “I’ll Be Back Scrambling,” “He’s Back Scrambling,” “Let Me Be Me.”
I will never forget Cunningham’s quote: “I’m not saying let me be me, I’m saying let ME be ME.” For my money, this is way better than “For who? For what?”
And of course let us never forget “Dangerously Committed.”
In Mr. McNabb’s defense, there’s no evidence that his house has (a) a suit of armor in the foyer, or (b) designated bedrooms for his “friends” Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. (For more details on this topics and others related to the early 90s Birds, consult the very excellent “Bringing The Heat” by Mark Bowden.)
We’ll diplomatically label Dunavin “corny” and not “completely loopy.”
