We have seen the lack of motivation Randy plays with when he’s on a poor team, so I guess he would rather pout and retire than go back to that.

Pending a contract renegotiation, and probably a physical/endurance test, Donovan McNabb will be a member of the Minnesota Vikings this season, but they’ve made it clear that he’s going to have to earn every inch. Or at least the kicker has.
