From Syncweekly.com and an interview with former Eagles player Shawn Andrews:
Andrews says teammates and support staff went out of their way to suck up to the former Syracuse University two-sport star, and McNabb enjoyed being in the limelight and abiding by a different set of rules than the rest of the players.
"I could be sitting in the players' lounge with a group, having some laughs, and he'd get his say in so the attention can shift," Andrews says. "He was the type of person that had everything in the world he could want, but that still wasn't enough. He wanted the attention on him. There was a whole lot of that behavior. He wasn't just that way with me. I'm thinking, 'Every day I strap on my shoulder pads and helmet, I'm here to protect you.'
"[McNabb] was a big part of it — he was a big part of my issues there. Bully is a strong word, but he was degrading to me and spread rumors. It's bothered me that I haven't really spoken about it."
The rumors regarding Andrew's sexual orientation spread around the Eagles' facility and beyond. Andrews says he received a text message from his stylist one day. The woman worked for several teammates and players on other teams. She warned Andrews that he should be more careful when talking about his personal life with teammates. That was a red flag for Andews, since he rarely talked to his teammates.
McNabb responded on his radio show, calling Andrews' allegations "unbelievable."
