It's Super Bowl 2017

This week of Super Bowl L1 there has been events everyday. Almost all players and major sponsors have them to show appreciation for their fans, and contributors and sometimes to raise money for their charities. Super Bowl is not cheap so you must know that before you get started. You can tell from the face value of a Super Bowl ticket. This years ticket I saw for $2,200. As I said face value, which means you probably will have to pay much more than that. I attended most of that Super Bowls while Donovan was playing his 13 years, and as I served as President of the Professional Football Players Mothers Association for 6 of those years. We had a few events as Moms too to help in our philanthropic endeavors. Always a fun time to support the wives association, dads association and many of our sons events too. We would have a watch party to watch the Super Bowl for those sons that didn't make the big game! Of course I attended the Eagles big game and I also went to the Detroit Super Bowl game when the Steelers played the Seahawks. That was a good Super Bowl to me. The hospitality that was given by my Midwesterners was phenomenal. I always feel we as Midwesterners are the nicest people! Maybe a bit too nice, but don't take our niceness for weakness. We are not weak! Like Chance the rapper sings, " you don't want no problem with me". LOL. I remember the Super Bowl in Atlanta, "ice bowl" and in Dallas, " ice bowl" too! Caught the BARTA, in the ATL and watched the accidents or some call it wrecks occur on the highways in Dallas. Wow, my memory has improved as I write this blog. Funny. The last Super Bowl I attended was in New Orleans 2013. We had a great Mardi Gras party there too!

Side Note: There has been some changes from before to now which is that the Pro Bowl use to be after the Super Bowl, so a lot of the families would leave the big game and fly to Hawaii for more fun. And the players from the big game would catch a flight over to Hawaii after the Super Bowl..... Now the Pro Bowl is before the Big game and those who are playing in the Super Bowl can't play in the Pro Bowl..

Now are you ready for some Super Bowl? I am and will be be watching it from home. What about you? Super Bowl L1 with the Falcons playing the Patriots in Houston, Texas.. Should be a good one. Good Luck to all the guys.

MAMA'S REVIEWS

I am privileged to have a wonderful mother that cares and that is willing to do. Whatever it takes not just for her family but for others in need. She is loving, determined and charitable. I wouldn't want anyone else but her as my beautiful mother. Mom I Love You.
Your Son,
Donovan

PAYING Forward- Char McNabb
It was in New York the Big Apple year 2010 great things are happening in my family's life my Son Russell Okung is getting drafted to play in the big league what an awesome blessing. I am overwhelmed many things to do places and events to attend, I am excited as well as a bit scared.
Sitting in the green room with Russell and his sister Nicole waiting for his name to be called I see this smiling Lady wearing a #5 Donavan McNabb Jersey walking towards me she hands me a gift bag and introduces herself as Big Mama, gives me a brief gist about her and her organization PFPMA which she was the president at the time and proceeds to further give me contact information.
It felt great I had a leeway there was someone out there who had been in this same position as I was at that time and she was reaching out to me as a mentor. Russell had mentioned to me earlier that he had met Mrs. McNabb at an event the previous night and the Lady had asked about me her name was not familiar to me at the time but it was getting now memorized.
Following week through Wilma Char McNabb I got welcome phone calls and notes in the mail from the Ladies of Pfpma, {Professional Football Players Mother’s Association} The rest is history I did join the organization got a support group whom I could talk to regarding how I could better assist my Son on and off the football field as well as assist our sons in their charitable efforts in the communities from which they came and in which they work not forgetting to support each other.
How do I say thank you? I do that by paying this forward by being of services as well as being a mentor to other new mother coming into the Huge Big Football League Family

Thank you much Mrs. McNabb

Mama McNabb is what she is to me. Upon our arrival to the Eagles in 2000, Jon and I were invited to her Offensive Players dinner at the home of her Eagles QB son. This was a way to bond with other players families, realizing how important it was to trust and cherish not only their teammates but, forge friendships like I have with her and the rest of the McNabb family.

Char (Mama) McNabb is a woman of unwavering faith and integrity! Over the years our friendship has blossomed because of her honesty, love and respect to the true meaning of what it is to be a sister friend. I cherish the relationship we now have. Also, I am continuously inspired by the way she lives her life...graciously!

Lucille O'Neal aka Shaq's Mom

Having spent all of my adult life with Wilma, I can say she has been a loving Wife, Mother and my best and closet friend I have ever had, Wilma is a strong, intelligent, passionate and self motivate person that has a unique sense of humor and a keen sense of discernment in dealing with people. I have shared a great and rewarding life with this beautiful women I call my wife.

God Bless you in all your endeavors!
