RIP - MJ
Like most of the rest of the world I am devastated by the news of Michael Jackson’s death. Ironically, I am in Los Angeles for a few days between shooting a commercial and attending a teammate’s wedding this weekend.
Those who have followed my career know that I am a huge fan of the King of Pop. After many of my touchdowns, I have moonwalked or mimicked some of his moves – before you get ready to criticize those moves on a post, know that even I understand I couldn’t hold a candle to Michael when it comes to dancing. My dances were a mere tribute to Michael’s unbelievable ability to entertain.
Many times we are reminded at someone’s death that “there will never be another one like him/her.” In this case, those words couldn’t be more true.
My condolences go out to his children, his immediate family, and his extended family of millions around the world.
-
We lost one of the greatest of all time. I hope you'll continue to pay homage to the King of Pop!

I always thought your MJ moves were kinda corny, but I'll kinda look forward to seeing them now. MJ was the man... . You gotta do an MJ tribute celebration with your first touchdown of the 09-'10 season!!
-
Yay more mj dances when you score.......
-
Yep. Keep bringing the dances.
-
Good post don u gotta break out the moon walk in tribute of MJ this year after u throw the game winning touchdown to win the superbowl
-
Anybody who knows anything about music knows how influential Michael Jackson was to the music industry and he will be greatly missed. R.I.P. MJ
-
I can't wait to see you moonwalk.......take us to the Superbowl....MJ would really have loved that...I will forever love and cherish MJ...he is and forever will be the King of Pop!!!!

Celebrate his life and his contribution to music. Without MJ we would not have the artists we have today. We would not have the dancers we have today. He was such an influential man and he touched millions of lives all over the world. Lots of artists are doing great dedications to MJ. Even Dave Matthews Band played a Jackson 5 song at their concert today in honor of MJ. R.I.P Michael Jackson. Always in our hearts and certainly will never be forgotten.
-
that's the truth HC.
in life there are two types of people: innovators and everyone else. MJ was certainly an innovator. -
preach it sister!!!!!
-
What better QB to pay tribute...another reason why you are the best. You gotta do the kick and fist in the air move too.
-
You are so true there will never be another MJ! He crossed racial boudaries that many artists wish they could. It sucks now cause A lot of people forgot how much impact he had on peoples lives. Now when I see his videos I start to remember what I was doing at that point in time. With that being said I think the best tribut to him is make it to the superbowl and punish the team, like the cowboys did the bills, when he performed and bust a couple MJ moves.
-
DM do what ya got to do and as MJ sang , Live your life "OFF THE WALL"
-
Very shocking news in Japan, too.
I was very surprise.
RIP MJ.

you`re an idiot.

I'm still in shock. Michael Jackson was my favorite singer since before I can even remember. Even though I was a "girly" girl, I had a "jerry curl" styled like his when I was a kid. And his music was something my folks and I actually had in common. Now I have my own kids and they have an appreciation for his music and realize that they're favorite musicians were significantly influenced by MJ. And although he had some "downfalls" throughout his life, he was a great musical artist and humanitarian. Donavon, thanks for opening up this discussion. MJ, you're the KING OF POP FOREVER!!!!
-
keep it up DM, im sure MJ loves your moves. LOL. RIP to the KING OF POP. Michael Jackson was someone who united the different races of the world, now we have to keep it goin and love eachother and help eachother make this a better place to live, just like michael wanted it.
-
I hope you do many dance moves this year !!! score...... RIP MJ
-
Long live the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson...My heart was truly broken when I learned of his death. Your dance moves are not "corny"...love the tribute you pay to him. Can't wait to see that move after scoring your first touchdown of the 2009-2010 season. RIP MJJ

it`s his blog, he can write about whatever he wants. if you don`t like it, then don`t read it or comment on it.
-
THIS IS A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO COMMENT ON WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE NOW.......NOTHING SAYS IT HAS TO BE ALL FOOTBALL ALL THE TIME. MJ WAS A FAVORITE OF MCNABB'S SO WHY CAN'T HE PUT HIS FEELINGS OUT THERE.
RIP MJ AND ALL THE OTHER CELEB'S WHO PASSED AWAY THIS PAST WEEK -

shut up haha. who cares what he said. you know what he meant
-
Rots of Ruck Rorge, in the upcomming season!!!!

-

-
Donovan did really "try" the moonwalk?? ha ha ha I missed a definite, defining momet!!!
It could have been his "after career", ...... Anyway,........
This is exactly what (I think), had M.J. reeling. Ever since that "farce" they called a court hearing. That hearing, (and it's processes), really took it's tool on the guy. From what I have been hearing, and reading, he was never the same since..
R.I.P. to a great icon, and and era.

anybody who honors a child molester or anyone who endangers a child is a low life far from classy. there are many more people worthy of you honor than this wacko.
-
Firstly, MJ was never convicted in a court of law. Secondly, the parents of the kids that filed civil and criminal charges against MJ were the ones endangering their children from the start. I don't know what parent sends their kids off to some creepy rich dudes house for unchaperoned slumber parties. All the public evidence shows that they were dirtbags. Third, Mike was definitely nuts. He might be a child molester, the fact is we don't really know.
-
right. this mikem3517 is a moron.

shut up.^
-
Second that!
-
Third that
-
I knew Donovan would be upset with this one lol.. Loved the thriller dance he pulled off after a rushing TD in Washington. Mikem3517 is just mad because he was prob raped as a kid. MJ was clean you douche
-
if you are dancing, that means we are winning, so keep dancing don.
-
I am there with you on that Don.. I have seen you doing MJ and it is a fun sight to see lol... RIP MJ and my homeoby, classmate and Delta & Omega brotha Steve..
-
another very sad situation.
-
Michael will always be a legend in the music industry. God bless his soul. DM you have to pull out the moonwalk on your first TD of the season. Talk about a great tribute...
-
Donovan,
I'm not sure if you will see this or not, but I wanted to say that I really appreciate everything you have given to the city of Philadelphia the last 10 years. I know at times, your relationship with Philadelphia has been rocky. But know, that do you have supporters.
There are many fans that support you, love you, and root for you. You're a true role model. I wanted to post this, because I also have heard that you're a good husband and father.
God bless,
Matt -
MJ, sure, but what about SM?
-
im sure once he gets back on to update his blog he'll mention steve. he hasnt posted in like 3 weeks or so

Hey! D,
I posted some thoughts about your conditioning back in March. I was wondering if anyone else has mentioned it to you in the past. I understand you put some bulk on your body for the pounding. I was wondering if you did that to compensate for the mental aspect of your leg injury. You will feel so much stronger and confident if you lose some of that bulk so you can terrorize defenses again. Hopefully, you have done this already. Look, at Ryan Howard he lost 20-30 lbs coming into this season. You don't need all of that extra crap weighing you down. Let's get over the hump and bring home the parade. Thanks for everything. If it wasn't for you and B-West we would be in the toilet. SUPER BOWL BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEDICATE THE SEASON AND THE TROPY TO MJ
