Childhood Friend: Donovan McNabb Hated "Good Times," Eddie Murphy, and Welch’s Grape Soda; Loved "Full House", Carrot-Top, and Sunny D.

In a revealing interview conducted yesterday, Tyrone “Cookiehead” Jenkins, a childhood friend and neighbor of Donovan McNabb, provided even more damning evidence that the embattled quarterback has never embraced his blackness.

“I don’t know why everyone’s acting like this shit is new news,” explained Jenkins. “We grew up in his hood and we knew he was a sell-out from Day 1. For starters, while we all had funny-ass nicknames, like “J-Bug,” “Big Smoove,” and “Mushmouth,” he always insisted on being called Donovan. Not even Donny or D-Mac. Donovan. How many brothers you know named Donovan?”

When asked to elaborate on his “sell-out” comment, Jenkins offered some interesting details about a young McNabb’s taste in entertainment.

“We’d all be chilling out watching ‘Good Times’ or “What’s Happening” and you could tell Donovan hated it. He’d always be like, ‘It’s 7:30! Change the channel, ‘Full House’ is coming on. That one guy with the wacky ties is real funny!’”

“Donovan loved them corny-ass white comedians too. We’d be quoting ‘Delirious’ or ‘Raw,’ and that motherfucker would be pulling shit out of a trunk, pretending to be Carrot-Top. Same s**t with movies…we went to sneak in to Krush Groove, and Donavan paid for a ticket to ET instead.”

“Donovan didn’t even eat or drink like a brother,” Jenkins continued. Never wanted barbecue. Hated fried food. We’d be ballin’ outside, get all sweaty, and everyone would go get some Welch’s Grape from the corner store. Not Donovan. That motherf**ker would go running home to his Mom’s refrigerator. You’ve never seen a n**ger drink so much Sunny D in all your life.”

Jenkin’s revelations are just the latest in a sting of attacks from African-Americans, who seem to unanimously question McNabb’s commitment to his race. After Terrell Owens referred to the quarterback as a “company man” due to his unyielding support of Eagles’ management, McNabb woke up Tuesday morning to find that no less an authority on black culture than J. Whyatt Mondesire, head of the NAACP in Philadelphia, had joined the fray.

In Tuesday’s Philadelphia Daily News, Mondesire authored a scathing editorial, accusing McNabb of purposely restraining himself from scrambling in an effort to avoid the long-standing stereotype of black quarterback as athletes rather than field generals, and implying that by doing so, McNabb had dishonored his race. Modesire closed by claiming that the quarterback, who after leading the Eagles to four straight NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl appearance was off to a torrid start this season before succumbing to a sports hernia, was “mediocre at best” and a “failure as a leader.”

Modesire’s article did not address whether increased blackness would have enabled McNabb to overcome his numerous maladies, or if “keeping it real” could have helped the Eagles develop its nonexistent running game. Now, courtesy of McNabb’s season-ending surgery, it may never be known. To most African American’s, however, the answer to that hypothetical question would be irrelevant.

“Look man,” explained Jenkins, “That motherf**ker was convinced O.J. was guilty. Enough said.”
