Donovan McNabb suspended indefinitely by Fox Sports after DUI arrest: Report

Donovan McNabb has been suspended from his NFL analyst job indefinitely after a second DUI arrest, and his bosses did it with a statement that was more succinct than the former quarterback's rambling explanation of his situation last week.

"It is important that Donovan use this time as best he can to resolve his personal situation," Fox Sports said in a statement to SI.com. 

McNabb was arrested June 28 for driving under the influence in Gilbert, Ariz., after the former Eagles and Redskins quarterback rear-ended a vehicle at a red light and appeared impaired, according to police.

The 38-year-old McNabb served a day in jail in April 2014 after pleading guilty in another DUI case resulting from a Dec. 15, 2013, arrest in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community east of Phoenix. He was ordered to pay a fine of nearly $1,500 and enter an outpatient treatment program in Scottsdale.

On his radio show last week, McNabb had a hard time explaining his voluntary leave of absence from his weekday show on NBC Sports Radio.

"There was a story that was released, and I want everybody to be cognizant of it, because I am very aware of it, handling the matter at this particular point," McNabb said, according to Pro Football Talk. "But at this point, I have no further information, and as we continue on with the situation, then we'll let it handle as it will handle itself."

McNabb worked games last year for FOX, and he appeared regularly on FOX Sports Live. It was believed he’d have a higher profile on FOX’s NFL coverage in 2015.

Terrell Owens says Donovan McNabb needs help: 'Next time, call Uber'

Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens and quarterback Donovan McNabb had an uneasy relationship during their time together as Philadelphia Eagles teammates, but it seems T.O. has some sound advice for his former antagonist after McNabb was arrested on DUI charges for the second time last month. 

"DUI is a very serious thing, Owens told TMZ. "The number of lives that have been lost from it are staggering. It's a blessing no one was hurt.

"We may not still be playing, but we still serve as role models. You have to be more responsible."Next time, call Uber."

Owens — who has battled back from his own financial, comeback and image problems  — seems to have turned it around in terms of his own reputation after a successful appearance on Celebrity Apprentice and dimming the spotlight on himself just a little.

McNabb's reputation, on the other hand,  has taken a bit of a hit after several questionable tweets and comments during his time as an analyst for Fox Sports in recent years, not to mention the fact that June's release is the second DUI charge against the six-time Pro Bowler.

It sounds like T.O. and McNabb finally agree on a play call — avoid that down-and-out route.
