Todd Herremans Defends DeSean Jackson

Todd Herremans was a guest of Steve Wyche on NFL.com's "cover 2" podcast and was asked about the rumors that DeSean Jackson could be "losing the locker room" as a result of his contract situation. Herremans says that's not the case.

"A lot of people might look at DeSean and think he's very selfish, but he's not. DeSean is one of the best teammates you can have. There's a lot going on outside of the actual game for him this year that I don't know the ins and outs of, but I don't really think he's in trouble of losing the locker room."

The rumor initially came from one of Pro Football Talk's many anonymous "sources with knowledge of the situation." Despite what his anonymous source says, the fact is that players support each other in these contract disputes nearly 100% of the time. And with the union vs ownership struggle they've all just went through, it's probably doubly true now.

It should really just be cheerleaders for the rest of the season.

Just curious, but did where does BGN rank this week in terms of popularity? I have had a hard time coming to this site since last Sunday.

by The Pied Piper on Nov 16, 2011 9:43 AM EST up reply actions

Down, but still doing well – on pace for over 1.2 million page views for November. Eagles fans follow the team whether the team is good or bad. I would imagine BGN is still #2. There was a decent-sized gap between 2 and 3.

Yea , but sometimes you’re at a stage where you are too depressed to even talk or think about the game.

I’m still down because I know the season is over. If they couldn’t beat the Cardinals coming off a loss, how do you expect them to go 7-0?

She looks bat shit crazy in that picture though.

That’s the “I walked in on you texting one of your lady friends and now I’m going to Lorena Bobbit you” look.

“I’ll finddddd youuuuu”

That’s what I thought of when I took a second glance at her face.

That's understandable

I don’t think anyone’s intial reaction to that picture is “Hmm, what is her facial expression telling me right now…”

bat shit crazy can be a good thing though. Just not the Lorena Bobbit version.

At the very least

for today (or this week) only every post should be fronted with a pick of our cheerleaders… they’re the only ones that have shown up to all our games.
