Sam Donnellon Is Sassy, Stupid
Jan 28, 2009 Eagles Rumors

Your favorite Daily News writer watched and listened to Joe Banner’s interviews this week, and he’s mad about what he’s heard. Like, really mad. Maybe the guy has a favorite stripper in Tampa he had to cancel on, I don’t know.
For lack of a better moniker, call it Banner season, although by definition it has nothing to do with banners, at least championship ones.
It’s not really about answers either, or solutions.
Ouch. Donnellon spends about a thousand words making the argument that Banner is either incompetent or a coward, and perhaps both.
So . . . Banner sees quality where some see mediocrity. Reid’s drafts have been, to most, more miss than hit. His game management has been an issue that does not seem to improve. He has been stubborn about his pass-first playcalling.
Donnellon is playing into the worst qualities of the fans here. He’d rather make you angry and pass his opinion on as simple, black and white truth than make the reader pause and think about anything.
“Reid’s drafts have been, to most, more miss than hit”. Who is “most”? Most people who don’t bother to worry about the facts?
Because the truth is much different. But why bother with research when ill-informed conventional wisdom (which you help form) suits your column a lot better?
You mad because Banner didn’t proclaim in public his exact plans for the Eagles off-season? Why the hell would he do that? What President or GM actually does that who’s not an incompetent dweeb?
You want him to trash his players and coaches in public? Again, who does that who runs a successful organization?
Dude, you need to relax. There are plenty of strippers in Philly. I recommend Delilah’s.
