Donovan McNabb Is 15 Years Old
 |
The blog also helpfully transcribed the shirt for us, since, yeah, I wasn't going to read all of that:
"If you prepare to be the best in everything you do in life, you will receive great results. But if you are just satisfied with mediocrity, that’s what you will be."
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]

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."

Also: Yes, people will criticize McNabb for ANYTHING. But t-shirts are a domain of this website.
