Free Agent QB Donovan McNabb Reportedly Close To TV Job

Ex-Eagle quarterback Donovan McNabb may be accepting that he's now an ex-quarterback.

No team has signed the 35-year-old free agent, not even for an audition as a backup, since the Minnesota Vikings released him last season.

Now comes word he's "close to agreeing to a network job," according to Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal.

He's "signed with agent Mark Lepselter for broadcast work," she tweeted Sunday (@SBJLizMullen).

Indeed, MAXX Sports & Entertainment, founded by Lepselter, not only lists McNabb as a client under "broadcasters" but IDs him as "Analyst - NFL Network."

Unclear is whether that's about future gigs or previous brief TV stints.

awesome - now he can whine about his treatment by the fans and certain ex-teamates every week.

 

Comcast Sportsnet ... lol ...

 

Watching or reporting?

 

Let's be real. The dude is entertaining. He'll make an AWESOME TV personality wherever he ends up. 5 is a funny dude, smart dude, knows football, etc. If he's not already on a network like the NFL network or Fox or whatnot, he will be eventually.

 

He can't be any worse than Warren sapp and Michael Irvin.

 

Emmitt Smith.

 

The worst ex player I've ever seen on TV. McNabb has to be better than that.

 

if by funny you mean awkwardly corny then yes.

 

McNabb has never struck me as someone who is entertaining, funny or smart but if he brings that to others, power to em...

 

McNabb is funny in a dry humor, pranky kind of way, but a lot of times you have to be in the mood for his "humor.". IMO.

 

the banjo incident was his best work.

 

This one?

 

He didn't even know all the rules as a player.

 

I watched him do Playbook this morning. He wasn't bad. Not great, but a lot more tolerable than I expected.

 

Without question the greatest moment of his career....




And puking in the Superbowl.

 

Why can't McNabb just go away?

 

Is he getting paid by the minute? He's been on EVERY show.

 

well his prediction that rg3 would have issues playing in shannys system proved to be correct the first week.
