Donovan McNabb is no longer the quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles.  The talented McNabb was traded by the Eagles on Sunday to the division rival Washington Redskins.

McNabb had been on the trading block much of the last month.  The Eagles seem intent on developing rising QB Kevin Kolb and backup QB Michael Vick.  Talks most of the past week had McNabb heading to the Oakland Raiders.  It is safe to say that McNabb is relieved he isn’t heading to that professional cemetery.

“I’m really excited about my future with the Washington Redskins,” McNabb said in a statement Sunday night. “I’m eager to work with Coach [Mike] Shanahan. He’s been a very successful coach with a couple of Super Bowl victories on his resume. While it has been my goal to win a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, we came up short. I enjoyed my 11 years, and know we shared a lot more good times than bad.”

In exchange for stealing McNabb the Redskins are sending a 2nd round pick in next month’s NFL Draft and a 3rd or 4th round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

McNabb was always more loyal to the Eagles than they or their fans were to him.  Hopefully McNabb can burn them now playing within the same division.  A bonehead move by the Eagles that will likely come back to haunt them.

Washington Redskins bench warmer extraordinaire Robert Henson had one of the bigger Twitter fails in pro-athlete tweeting on Sunday after the Skins 9-7 win over the lowly St. Louis Rams.  Many Redskins fans during the second half booed presumably over the play calling of head coach Jim Zorn.

Henson, who has yet to ever play a down in the NFL, took to tweeting his frustrations after the game, and in the process called Redskins fans “dim wits” and made fun of them for working at “Mcdonalds.”

All you fake half hearted Skins fan can . . . I won’t go there, but I dislike you very strongly, don’t come to Fed Ex to boo dim wits!!

No I didn’t play but I still made more than you in a year and you’d (gladly) switch spots with me in a second. …

I was talking to the fans (who) said the crazy stuff, I’m use (to heckling) but I’ve never been booed in my own stadium.

Again, that was for the half hearted but if everyone wants to jump in, come on. The question is who are you to say you know what’s best for the team, and you work 9 to 5 at Mcdonalds [sic].

Henson humbly described himself in his Twitter bio as “one of the top performers” from Texas Christian.

I am a husband,father, and football player to sum it all up. I just finished college at Texas Christian University where I was one of the top performers.

I say 6th round draft picks who have yet to play a single minute in the NFL should quit pretending to be a somebody in the league before they are quickly 86′ed out of the league.  It is one thing for Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco to rant on Twitter, but Henson is a nobody and if anything  put his current job in jeopardy with his loose fingers.

Some of the funnier Twitter responses to @RedskinsLB51 (Henson) on Twitter:

@brianbolter I’m going to miss @RedskinsLB51. As a former dim witted McDonald’s worker, I’m confident not everyone feels the same way.

@craigsorrell Is not suprised @redskinslb51 deleted his Twitter after lying about things being thrown at him. 1st class dude all the way…

@jakewhite77 Looks like we won’t have @RedskinsLB51 to kick around anymore!

@nutzareus Robert Henson @RedskinsLB51 deletes his Twitter account after backtracking on his tweets bashing fans. Dude, you’re a 6th rounder. Scrub.

@chrissecrest @RedskinsLB51 We can’t all be professional athletes. Us “dim-wits” have to do something. A job is a job in this recession.

@graphicnudity @RedskinsLB51 Actually work 6 to 2 and it’s Burger King

@egomaniacmonson @RedskinsLB51 That took some balls, dude. Not only are you a rookie, but a non-starting/playing 6th rd pick. You better slow you role, son.

@xcubanphantomx @RedskinsLB51 wow man, you shouldnt feel like u were booed…you didnt even play, so technically you and the fans were in the same shoes.

@Rocknrizzle @RedskinsLB51 Dude, we (the fans) pay your salery, so we can boo whenever we want too! Your an a$hole, and should be playing with Dallas!.

@Dupa3 @RedskinsLB51 HEY BUDDY, WE ARE BOOING THE PLAY CALLING, NOT THE PLAYERS… YOU WILL LEARN 1 DAY THAT WE HATE THE OWNER/COACH NOT PLAYERS

@NattyBo @redskinslb51 By the way, nobody working 9-5 at McDonalds can afford to watch you play. And they put in more honest work than guys too.

The whole incident reminds me of Mark Cuban making a similar remark about those that work at Dairy Queen. The big difference being that Cuban has billions in the bank and he made it right by actually going to work at DQ one day for charity.

In the wake of Henson’s ‘Tweet-Gate’ he has deleted his account and apologized to the fans on his Facebook page and through the big boy media.
