I give McNabb credit, he has learned to stay in the pocket and go through his progression rather than run first. That is what it take to succeed long term in the NFL at QB in my opinion. That was the best first half of NFL football that I have ever seen. Sorry I din't have the opportunity to watch the entire game.

Many great athletes are complete egomaniacs, but that's okay. It lends to their swagger. And let's face it: TO is a terrific athlete and is built like a Greek god (I still remember the time when I was @ a 49ers walk-through in the Superdome in the late 90's. TO was wearing a white spandex bodysuit and nothing else. He looked like a statue of a god. It was a nice picture, I promise you.) He's cocky, but he can back it up. My husband's friend, Merton Hanks, insists that TO is a delightful person to know. They've been friends since they were on the Niners together.
I believe he may well be a great person, however, this is about perception. When you have kids watching, its different. I wouldnt want my son trying to be self indulging because he sees T.O doing it. I would want him to have an example of sportsmanship outside of what I could teach him. Thats all Im saying.
I can definitely see your point. It all gets a bit muddled when you have kids; I definitely talk about sportsmanship with my daughters (the 2nd grader, in particular), but one of her favorite Cowboys is T.O. She was jealous of my ILoveMeSomeMe t-shirt, for instance. What I mean is: I'm not sure the kids (young ones, in particular) notice as much of the jack@zz behaviors as we do. When I see my daughter thinking obnoxious behavior is cute, I set her straight.
I think you are right and if she ever met T.O i am willing to bet he would go out of his way to be extremely nice to her.
