Rush is right again: A lot of similarities in the media: Simone Biles and Donovan McNabb.

Here are Rush’s comments about Donovan McNabb in 2003

Replace McNabb with Simone Biles. The media had a huge desire to make her the greatest of all time because of what she looks like. But she proved she didn’t have what it takes.

She actually is really good, though. Donovan McNabb. Eh.

The comparison is correct insofar as the rush to protect her from criticism or scrutiny, but Biles was (is?) a great gymnast.

McNabb was never a great quarterback.

I’m not comparing her skill level relative to her sport to McNabb’s. I’m comparing what the media tried to make her. Like what the media tried to make McNabb.

Reminds me of when Cam Newton quit on his team and didn’t dive on his fumble in the Super Bowl. So Brave.

McNabb was one of the greatest QBs of all time, perhaps THE greatest. No one will ever know because he was forced to try to make other people happy and play with a team. He didn’t have the option for individual competition.

She’ll be known as a quitter from here on out. At least try.

Correct. That title belongs to Larisa Latynina. She won 9 Olympic gold medals and a total of 18 in the '56, '60 and '64 Olympiads. And did with all the real pressure of knowing her performance had massive ramifications for her and her family.

Amazing how quickly the gymnastics team went down the shitter. Much like everything else in this country.

McNabb was good but choked, or rather threw up, in crunch time because he was in crap shape.


The Eagles should have won that Super Bowl and the problem wasn’t the Pats supposedly stealing signals, it was McNabb being a fat fricker. Which TO called him out on.

The Nassar shite lead to a housecleaning of YS gymnastics.


Part of that, IIRC, was disassociating from the Karolis and the Karoli Ranch.

Bela Karoli may be an a-hole but he got the best out of gymnasts going back to Nadia Comanich in 1976.

I'm stoned and McScabb was probably the most over hyped shitty QB out there. He was better with mama on soup commercials.

The media reaction is another in a long line of massive gaslights. Saying she is brave and won by dropping out. Weak is strong.

You really can’t make this shite up! He’s not even too 50 or 75 of all time . Andy Reid is one of the best coaches of all time when it comes to putting top offenses on the field. One of the greatest? No way in hell .
