Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

Donovan McNabb pays tribute to Michael Jackson through words, dance.

This does not appear to be one of the Michael Jackson inspired dances.

Over on his Yardbarker blog, Donovan McNabb reacted to the death of Michael Jackson.

Like most of the rest of the world I am devastated by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. Ironically, I am in Los Angeles for a few days between shooting a commercial and attending a teammate’s wedding this weekend.

 

Those who have followed my career know that I am a huge fan of the King of Pop. After many of my touchdowns, I have moonwalked or mimicked some of his moves – before you get ready to criticize those moves on a post, know that even I understand I couldn’t hold a candle to Michael when it comes to dancing. My dances were a mere tribute to Michael’s unbelievable ability to entertain.

 

Many times we are reminded at someone’s death that "there will never be another one like him/her." In this case, those words couldn’t be more true.

 

My condolences go out to his children, his immediate family, and his extended family of millions around the world.


As Donovan said, he has embarrassed himself paid tribute to the King of Pop with a few of his end zone dances. Check out an example after the jump...

Oh and the "teammates' wedding" he's referring to is Hank Baskett's at the playboy mansion which is set for Saturday June 27th. I have a feeling many of Hank's teammates might be making the trip out for that one...

MJ Dance

He can do that every td vs dallas as far as im concerned.

ps. 8 yr olds dude.

"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."

i don't think it makes him a fool...

more than it does any other player who does any other celebration. what about every defensive lineman who crawls like a komodo dragon after a sack? i vote YES for the mcnabb-MJ dance!!!
p.s. when he does the dance, it usually means we just got 6, so who cares!!! =)

Thriller

You missed it. This TD celebreation was ok, but it’s got nothin’ on the “Thriller” TD dance that 5 has done on occasion (i think vs the Skins in ’05).
MJ dance has always been a Mc5 classic, in fact I think there was a game (maybe the one v the skins) where some of the other guys on the team did similar MJ dances after scoring.
Go Birds.

I thought that was a pretty good moonwalk for having cleats on.

Wasn’t that the Dallas game that pic was from? I remember seeing McNabb doing that and laughing at the way Westbrook was staring at him
