During an interview with Andy Reid, when asked how the DeSean Jackson matter was being handled, Reid simply replied, “I’m not going into that at all. They took care of it, he’ll be fine.” McNabb also commented that DeSean’s attitude about the mishap was not aloof. McNabb mentioned that DeSean was clearly upset over the play and expressed his apologies to teammates.
I wonder what the Eagles players did to “take care of” DeSean. Maybe a little hazing, probably a lot of ribbing. The article from the Philadelphia Daily News mentioned that some players taped a Geico caveman picture to his locker. The Geico caveman has also been known as Trevor Laws distant cousin.

DeSean Jackson Happy To Have People Underestimate Him [Bears Necessity] — Pictures DeSean Jackson’s ideal stadium, which depicts where various different celebration zones are on the field such as the dancing zone, the pre-touchdown celebration zone, and the chest-thumping zone. It also suggests that DeSean Jackson will be tagged with the new nickname MeSean Jackson.
Wow, what a game. 78 points. 7 lead changes. An instant classic. Cowboys 41 – Eagles 37. USC vs. Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl for the National Championship has always been my favorite game, but this one just topped it. Unfortunately, the result wasn’t what I had hoped for, but it was the most gratifying loss by the Eagles that I have ever witnessed.
The fact that the Eagles can put up 37 points (without their top two wideouts) against one of the best defenses in the league and keep them on their heels for 60 minutes is enough of a moral victory walk away happy from this game. I cannot wait until we see the Cowboys again this year, which will be the final game of the season in Philadelphia. That game could possibly have the NFC East on the line.
Other notes from the game: McNabb officially has his mojo back, but I was pissed about the high throw to Westbrook that would have kept the drive alive late in the 4th to win. Oh, and the fumble by Westbrook due to a poor McNabb handoff, also late in the 4th, which could go down as costing them the game. He had two bad plays that really hurt them, but his ability to avoid the Cowboys rush was uncanny. I hope last night was just 1 bad game from Dawkins and not a sign of him aging. Dawkins was late on a lot of plays, but I do have to give him credit for a huge pass breakup on a pass to Martellus Bennett on 3rd down to get the Eagles the ball back for a final 4th quarter drive. Sean Considine needs to go. Why the hell was he even on the field at all this game? Can’t we please cut him now? He is worthless.
It is my pleasure to finally release a few DeSean Jackson wallpapers that I created. After a legendary debut that will be remembered and appreciated by Eagles fans for years to come, it was about time to open a DeSean Jackson wallpaper section here on the site.
I also put up widescreen versions of these wallpaper since it’ll probably be the wallpaper on the laptop for at least the next 6 months. Additionally, I also added DeSean Jackson’s Cal wallpaper, which I had stored at my other wallpaper site, Anonymous Junkyard, which you should all check out. Here is a preview of the wallpapers.
This came from a Philadelphia Daily News article whose article title was T.O.: 2008 Cowboys better than Super Bowl Birds. Although that article didn’t really back up that headline with anything other than vague references, what I found more interesting was T.O.’s comments on Eagles fans, so I’ll give this headline my own twist. Here is what T.O. had to say when asked about the Philadelphia fans:
Honestly, dude, those fans were great. I tell people all the time, even comparing them to the fans here in Dallas. The situation that happened there was really unfortunate. I think a lot of fans know what happened. They know the real deal aside from media sources there. I embraced those fans there. They were great to me when I was there. I tell a lot of people I can’t get out of my head the times that I was standing on the sidelines and I’ve got, however many that stadium holds, and they are chanting my name. That was a very, very unbelievable feeling. I enjoyed my time there.
You know the story. The Eagles dominated the Rams for over 500 yards of offense and won 38-3. DeSean Jackson was incredible (107 receiving yards, 96 punt return yards). That could go down as one of the best rookie debut performances… ever. The highlight of the game for me (other than all 522 yards of offense and the 90 yard TD reception by Hank Baskett, which supports my position that he’s the best #4 receiver in the league) was this hit by Sheldon Brown on Steven Jackson. Steven Jackson: YOU GOT JACKED UP!
