"What's next for Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb?

Who knows? The 13th-year veteran is back in a back-up role. And barring an injury to rookie Christian Ponder or a release from the team, McNabb will be seen for the rest of 2011 on the Vikings sideline with his hat on backwards.

On Sunday morning, the NFL Network will air an exclusive interview with McNabb. Andrea Kremer recently sat down with the demoted quarterback, who wanted to get a few things straight. The interview will air on NFL GameDay Morning which begins Sunday at 8 a.m.

Among the highlights, McNabb addresses recent rumors that a poor work ethic led to his benching.

Here are a few excerpts from the interview ...

Kremer: "Why didn't it work out here [in Minnesota]?"

McNabb: "Well, I mean, everyone focuses on my position. And I'm the one that either gets the most credit or the most blame. We should be sitting here, I'll be honest, at about what, 4-3, 5-2, or whatever. We had games that we should have won, but we just didn't. Now is it the quarterback position? Hey, I'll take the blame for it."

Kremer: "Do you think you should still be the starter here in Minnesota?"

McNabb: "Absolutely. Absolutely.""
