"I had a chance to see him this off-season, hanging out with him a little bit," Jackson said. "He was, 'You know, I wasn't playing,' this and that. He's a very competitive guy. He's a great player. I don't take anything away from him. It's just unfortunate that he got hurt last year and wasn't able to play.

"But with him or without him, we are confident in ourselves. One player can't determine if they win or lose. As everybody knows, it's a team. You'll never know what would happen if he was there or if he wasn't there. All I know is that we got the victory and that's what I'm going to go off of. We've just got to get another two this year, or however many we play them...We went in their house and beat them twice. We understand what it takes."

Sigh

As if I needed a reason to love him more…

We went in their house and beat them twice. We understand what it takes.

I literally cheered … clapping and everything.

Bah. I came here to say what everyone else has already expressed. This is just a perfect response – very political and well spoken, but just enough cynical undertone to basically tell Osi to STFU because we whooped their ass twice in their house, including that phenomenal playoff road win where we were 4 1/2 point road dogs. Man, did I enjoy that day.

Remember when we actually worried that Jackson might be a headcase. It’s nice to see we can put thoe worries to rest. The guy has handled himself with professionalism and class ever since he came to the Eagles.

I have a man crush on Chase Utley.

Yeah, I remember a lot of people speculating about his ego coming out of college. I’m really glad to see he’s panning out as a person. Now all we have to worry (and I use that word loosely) about is him panning out as a player.

About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
