the final two weeks of the season, he will be the third string quarterback and john beck will be the final backup for grossman. mike shanahan is trying to evaluate the quarterback and find out who he has for the roster and mcnabb's future here looks more cloudy after this. >> lindsey, you talked about his future. what about the big contract mcnabb signed before the eagles game against the eagles. what about that? >> yeah, it was not too long ago, november 15th, when he signed that contract. it was a five-year, $78 million deal. here was the catch. if they decided to release him after this year, he would get an additional 3.5 million on to his contract this season. if they were to release him, he would get an extra 3.5 million they wouldn't be obligated to pay him anymore of the 78 million. >> 3.5 million the abuse continues. what about rex grossman. what is he saying about this? >> rex is excited about neigh can't get their act together. >> this week, it's another quarterback controversy. the benching of mcnabb in favor of journeyman rex grossman. >> the way mcnabb's been playing, th

. -- former raven john beck. but mcnabb has not been the same in d.c. as he was in philadelphia. his quarterback rating is 77.1%, 25th best in the nfl. rex grossman filled in once before, october 31 against the lions. it was a disaster. grossman got sacked, the ball was picked up, and sue scored the clinching touchdown. last month, they signed mcnabb to a contract extension. but they could cut him before next season and not owe him any money. to thee his first trip garden this season. hard feelings? you bet. >> #6, lebron james. >> lebron was shard with boos. -- lebron was showered with boos. lookit what he does in the third quarter. his 30th career triple-double. the heat one, their 12th straight victory. straight victory. ♪ on winters wings, decembers rear, ahha humbug faces come and dear ♪ ♪ then appears at perfect christmas time. ♪ ♪ a tiny tree, christmas, tinsel, the lights ♪ ♪ the star that sings, top your tiny tree, yeah ♪

john beck will be the backup. at redskins park, dave owens, nines sports now. >>> this story has been getting a lot of feedback on our facebook page, anthony lawrence posted quote i really don't know what to think. that was a kick to my gut. it mcnabb -- if mcnabb is not here next year then it was a mistake to trade for him in the first place. this says if it was the coach's mandate to field the best players why wasn't grossman on the field from day one. and this one writes this has to be a clear message they will part with him in the off- season. i think it's a bad move. >>> today's warmer temperatures were welcomed but they could mean bad news for drivers overnight and then tomorrow morning. meteorologist tom is in for topper to explain why that is. >> there are so many miles and miles of roadways in our region, many believe it or not have not been treated at all so the sunshine did help today and a bonus too, expecting 36, we may get up to 39 so look at the clearing, though. this is -- of course we had the suns

coach shanahan saying he needs to test out rex grossman now and john beck. he was very frank. donovan may not be here next year. >> i cannot guarantee him that he would be back next year. i said i can't guarantee you that. what i can guarantee is that i will be honest with you. i will evaluate the situation. i said i'm not sure what we're going to do in the college draft if we're able to get the top quarterback in the draft if there was a young donovan mcnabb or a sam bradford. >> reporter: mcnabb's agent not the least bit pleased saying quote disrespectful is probably not a strong enough word. donovan has handled himself with class, not just in washington but as an ambassador for the league. to treat him this way is beyond disrespectful. end quote. teammates didn't even know a change was coming. they didn't find out until they got to work today. all season long these guys have been answering questions about haynesworth and devin thomas and hunter smith and clinton portis. you can add this one to the police now. >> at the end of the day you don't have time to be surprised. you

the six time pro bowl quarterback will now ride the bench behind rex grossman and john beck. skin's head coach mike shanahan sa because the skins have been eliminated from the playoffs he wants to evaluate the entire team. he also said company not guarantee that mcnabb would be in washington next season and fans are not happy about that. >> it's been bad for a while. you can't say shanahan did it. or just say mcnabb did it. it's crap for a while. . >> i'm mad myself because i like mcnabb, and when they took him out that last time, it blew me. and it blew our fans. and i think taking him out for the rest of e season is even worse. >> the decision seemingly signals the end of a very short mcnabb era in washington. grossman will get his first chance to helm the offense on sunday at 1:00 against the cowboys. >>> this morning we're working to learn the name of a woman hit and killed in alexandria. she was crossing a bus parking lot outside of the king street metro station around 6:00 last night. police say the woman was runnin across a lot when a hotel shuttle van hit her. driver

wise up, john, beck and i have a good rapport.ought he was worth marginalizing. dave from pass deanna, california. sometimes miller loses me. he says jimmy carter got played like an amish preacher in a game of gin rummy on a washington wizards flight in what does that mean? the wizards are known to gamble on their flights. amish people are forbidden to gamble. if they lose they would lose everything. they have no experience. miller calls jimmy carter the worst president ever but a c-span presidential poll among historians ranks him 27 out of 43. not too bad. i jusus finished reading pinheas and patriots. i have read all your books. this one is the best. i really enjoyed the chapters on past presidents. who knew james buchanan was so bad? i did. appreciate the fine words. it was fun evaluating presidents and icons. for every book we sell on bill o'reilly.com. two dollars goes to the wounded warriors project. you get a warriors tote bag free. you get the book free if you become bill o'reilly.com premium member. finally tonight pinhe

john beck will be the backup. shanahan wants to see what he can do. that's the story for now. back to you in the studio. >> dave, you know, so many people are shaking or scratching their heads tonight. mcnabb just signed a huge contract extension with the redskins. what does this mean for his future? >> reporter: that's a good question. 5 years, $78 million. but only 3.5 of that is guaranteed if he's not on the roster before week one next year. so they can part ways next year and owe him $3.5 million. that is certainly the direction it looks like they are going as of tonight. >> thank you, dave. a lot of people are speaking out tonight. thank you. >> that's right' comments about mcnabb's benching have been filling up our facebook page. morris says this has to be a clear message they will part with him in the off season. i think it whats a bad move. >> john parson goes 1 step further saying the decision is stupid. he writes what is shanahan on these days. me one of the greatest qbs of all time, which true, isn't having the best year but nonetheless is the best we have. grossman
