Minnesota Vikings quarterback sat down with Andrea Kremer for an interview to air Sunday on NFL Network and discussed a number of varied topics.
McNabb discussed the report from Michael Lombardi that his work ethic and lack of preparation was the reason for his benching in Minnesota.
"When people say that, about my work ethic, or the time that I put in, that pisses me off," said McNabb. "Because I know the time that I put in. People that are around me know the time that I put in. I take this game very seriously. Now for anyone to challenge that and not come and see the way that I work or witness the things that I do and they make their own judgment? That pisses me off because you are expressing to people who don't know me, who just listen to what commentators say or people write. That's the opinion they're going to take."
McNabb still thinks he should be the Vikings starter. "Statistically I wasn't playing bad. I wasn't turning the ball over offensively. We were averaging 20-plus points or so. But there's a lot of things that go into that. And when you draft a young guy first round and you're 1-5, obviously, everyone wants to see the younger guy, the so-called spark."
McNabb loved being in Washington. but has no love lost for Mike Shanahan. McNabb says the Redskins coach handled his situation unprofessionally and was disrespectful.
lol
