A recently-released book slams Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson and ranks him No. 86 among all-time jerks in sports. How is the kid on any list of "sports jerks?"
Eagles not interested in signing running back | Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/23/2009
With Brian Westbrook recovering from ankle surgery and a lot of inexperience behind the star running back, some might wonder if the Eagles should sign one of the veteran running backs still standing in the unemployment line. The Eagles say no.

if desean truly is the 86th biggest jerk in sports...
we should just trade him right now. there’s no room for jerks, rough housers, or potty mouths in philadelphia. we don’t tolerate that crap.
What about ne’er-do-wells, scalliwags and rapscallions? What if he’s a rake or a bounder or, egad, a cad? Why, he might even be a pecksniff!

Ive labeled him a sillynanny
"If they end up 2-14 and both of those wins came against Dallas, that's a pretty good year."

Yea he dropped the ball before the endzone...
cuz that’s what white people wanted to see.

As a white man
I can say that is absolutely NOT what I wanted to see.
About 10 minutes ago, I was pondering my own existence. Then I decided that it didn't matter.
that article was ridiculous
At Game 1, the Rams game, i finally bucked up to stop borrowing my friend’s Reggie jersey and buy my own, at the Linc. I decided on Desean because I had this gut feeling that he was gonna be a star. So he made a mistake dropping the ball in his rookie season – that doesnt give the right for someone to defame him, in a book no less, and then quietly say to press “Oh I could be wrong”. Give me a break, jerk off – talk about someone crying for attention to get people to buy his crap.
I just figured it out!
Stay with me here…
You borrowed your friend’s Reggie Brown jersey, which happens to be #86. You dropped your hot dog and spilled mustard on the jersey while celebrating a great play by DeSean Jackson. Your buddy saw the nasty mustard stain and called you a jerk. Since you knew you couldn’t borrow the Reggie jersey again, you purchased a #10 DeSean Jackson jersey.
DeSean Jackson+hot dog+86+jerk= DeSean Jackson is a hot dog and the 86th jerk in sports.

I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
shouldve been more specific
Reggie White not Brown :P If I spilt mustard on it, he wouldve broke my neck.
RB battles
If I’m the Birds I’m keeping an eye on the RB battles in New England and Denver. Booker desperately needs to wow the coaching staff in camp. The odd men out at either of those two other places would be upgrades.

Green from Double Coverage
I also feel like New York has the superior quarterback and coaching.
Donovan Mcnabb>Eli Manning without question.
Our playoff game last year proved it. That’s just a dumb statement.
Taking Route 36 will bring you to Touchdown,PHI
I can’t wait until the Giants fans behold their quarterback’s true colors this season when he’s once again flailing in the pocket, throwing as many interceptions as touchdowns, and generally looking like a sad little boy all after they decide to pay him upwards of $19M per year

As opposed to Super Bowl performance
That shouldn’t be taken into account at all should it?

McDermott named DC
Finally get back to my desk to catch up on news.. and see that it seems he’s not just staying DC for Training Camp.. but was officially named DC

If the Giatns didnt get lucky in 2007
It wouldnt even be a conversation…. Besides their 2007 run they havent won a single playoff game under Eli..
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Ah yes
I’m going to go watch my Super Bowl DVD and thank my lucky stars that they won four road playoff games. Going to Tampa and putting up 24 points against a top 10 defense? That was lucky. Going to a hated division rival and smashing their pretty boy QB into the ground time and again? That was fortunate. Going to hallowed Lambeau, playing in the third coldest game EVER, Eli outplaying a future HOFer, the defense holding after not one, not two, but three missed FG’s and coming back to set up the win? That was propitious. Going to the SB , taking on the only 18-0 team in the history of the NFL, the highest scoring team in the history of the NFL, holding them to 14 points, smashing their golden boy QB into the ground time and again, Eli leading a game winning drive with less than a minute left including one of the greatest plays in SB history? That was serendipitous.

A team from the north east winning in the cold? Never thought that was possible. Using all caps for the word ever, makes it all even more impressive than I remembered.
Beating a future HOF who was currently washed up and loves to give the ball away? Didn’t think that was possible either.
I don’t think it was luck per se, more like a fluke hot streak, that was not truly indicative of the team’s overall skill level. But that doesn’t really matter, you won it all, that will never change and congrats.
But it doesn’t make Eli abetter QB than McNabb, which is what this was discussion was about.
also...
a super bowl win doesn’t make a qb great. let’s not forget that trent dilfer, jeff hostetler, jim plunkett, doug williams, and brad johnson won super bowls; while warren moon, dan marino, fran tarkenton, jim kelly, and dan fouts never did. i would take any one from that second list than any three from the first. let’s also not forget that it was the combination of good defense and a circus catch that allowed the giants to win that super bowl.
propitius? serendipitous?
either you’ve been watching willy wonka too much or thesaurus.com got plenty of hits tonight.
Nope just one hit needed
It is amazing when a team that was 5-11 goes on such a run in the playoffs. Oh wait, they were 10-6, and won 11 straight road games, so just maybe they really weren’t that unskilled.

yes yes
relive the glory days… over and over again on your dvd… but the birds took the champs down twice last season, those two games are on my dvr btw… everyone has fantastical imagery of moments their team reigns king. last time i saw your Gi-aints were dethroned and the birds are still the better team this year.

2007, brother...
Obviously you’re very proud of the Giants Super Bowl win, and that’s to be expected. I’ve always felt that as long as you’re still the reigning champ, you can pretty much run your mouth all you want and you’re immune to comebacks of any sort. Lord knows I’ve been running my mouth constantly since the Phillies won the World Series (which, by the way, I see you’re a Met fan – Thanks for the historic collapses and the current 10.5 game lead… cheers).
But the Giants fizzled at the end of the season last year… badly… and didn’t the Eagles completely dominate both games in the Meadowlands? In the playoff game, didn’t Eli Manning’s passes resemble the plastic bag in American Beauty?
So by all means, watch your Super Bowl DVD and get all fired up for 2009, but just remember – It’s not the same team.
haha
i love the common denominator in all those explanations…their fearsome pass rush. I thought we were talking about Eli and mcnabb. lets stop kidding ourselves..except for the last drive,which was Eli at his best, the defense won that championship

Not an eagles fan
raiders fan here. but i am a desean jackson fan (since im a cal fan) and labeling him a jerk is just stupid. i agree that he probably declined an interview with the guy so this is how he gets back at him.
Y2K ~ The end is near.
deseean is
not a jerk… the writer is a big twerp and yes he is wrong… compiling pro-athlete stories into a BS retarded paperback worthy of toilet side tables… if the TP is spent use this book.
