I dare you to watch this and not snicker...

Doesn't Freddie remind you just a little bit of Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite?

That guitar is fantastic

Who knew he liked flamenco?

Imagine Freddie Mitchell’s career if he hadn’t made that 4th and 26 play. Would anyone even remember him?

he’s on the receiving end of the 14 sec. play in dallas on mnf….

"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team," said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It's not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they've ever asked of me. That'd be all those times they asked me to go kill myself."

It’s amazing how he did all the work on that play. He snapped the ball to himself, read the coverage, found the seam in teh defense, ran the route, and threw the ball to only spot where he could catch it.

It’s amazing play and Freddie deserves credit for his role. But didn’t 5 at least have little to do with it, FredEx?

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

Haha

Didn’t he once say, in response to being asked why he didn’t get the ball, “I can’t throw it to myself.” Bet he wishes he could…

I was thinking the same thing. Freddie makes it sound like he was the only Eagle on the field for the play.

if you watch him on the video

all he does is run right down the middle and turn back to mcnabb a yard away from the marker. but in his route, he runs himself towards the safety rather than sit down in that hole in the zone.

it’s actually mcnabb’s GREAT throw on his back shoulder that makes the play, freddie’s route running almost turned it into an INT if not for super5. more proof of mcnabb’s ability as a quarterback to make the right throw for the situation.

but yeah…freddie…all you, boy….all you.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.

The thing I remember most about 4th and 26

is that for some reason I knew we were going to convert some how.

Let's get it.

Does anyone know what Freddie Mit is doing right now? last I heard he had hired a personal trainer and was planning a come back to the league. But damn, was that weed in the back ground, it seems to me Fredx is keeping himself busy.

so...

he’s not an unintelligent person. i bet he’s decently smart. he’s just not right in the head. he’s the definition of self-centered. he’s got an ego larger than life. he’s like TO without the highlight reel. he’s just not normal. i bet that’d make a GREAT reality show, TO and fredex in the same room??? someone call a tv producer, we’ll split the millions…
