LOL, McNabb "I never let anything get up under my skin."

* Andy Reid has said one of the reasons he drafted you in '99 over Daunte Culpepper and Akili Smith and Cade McNown was that he felt you were wired right for Philadelphia. That you could handle the intense fan and media scrutiny that goes with being the starting quarterback in this town. Agree? "I think I was. He understood that I wouldn't let anything bother me. Anything could happen around me, and as long as everybody was OK, I was fine. I mean, I was introduced to it at the draft when they booed me. It was funny. I started laughing. I was like, did they just boo me? I had never seen or heard of anybody getting booed when they got drafted. It was an awakening. After that, it was, I'm just going to go out and prove a point every time. I never let anything get up under my skin. I think that's the thing that bothered people the most. That I kept smiling, kept moving."
