JYD Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I get why fans of rival teams don't like DeSean Jackson, but the league as a whole needs some thicker skin. Omg, 50 yard penalty for flipping the ball and wiping his jersey!!He threw it at a Giants coach...He is exactly what is wrong with players in football.

Phightins Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not to mention Brian Rolle spraying an AK after a tackle for loss, Cullen Jenkins firing a pistol at a concussed D.J. Ware (following a 300 lb. launched helmet to chin hit).. There just can't be a more unlikeable team. Ugh. You know you're my BFF and I love you dearly, but I think you are nitpicking a bit. The Rolle celebration was so badass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't see the huge deal with that particular incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You know you're my BFF and I love you dearly, but I think you are nitpicking a bit. The Rolle celebration was so badass!You're a fan of the team, so I wouldn't expect you to agree with me. It's hard to be objective about your favorite team, and maybe I'm guilty of the same here. But, I think it's playing both sides of the coin. Throat slash is a huge fine/penalty, hitting the football with a pylon is a huge fine/penalty, but firing an automatic weapon into a crowd is bawce. Wearing orange cleats is a huge fine, but knocking a guy out with the crown of your 350 lb helmet and then firing a fake pistol at him as he's out cold on the ground is awesome. There are classy ways to celebrate and handle yourself on a football field, and there are the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a really, really dumb move, all to showboat and promote himself in a negative light. Not that it matters, as the Eagles won the game regardless.

He shouldn't have done it since there was a very good chance it was going to get called. Speaking of which, the offsetting penalties there was kind of silly. I am not upset with how they called it, since this is how it is written in the rule book. Just seems kind of odd that if the Giants don't get called for holding (or whatever they got called for there, I forget), then the catch would have stood (minus the 15 yards for taunting).

Such a crazy avoidable penalty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 He is very immature, I get that. I just didn't see the huge deal with that particular incident.Come on now, that's just biased. You hit the Giants COACH with the football, and you also ran into the official following the call. Lucky he wasn't thrown out...let alone a 15 yd penalty. Jackson is a clown. A good player? Absolutely, one of the most electrifying I've ever seen. A clown? Yes... Speaking of which, the offsetting penalties there was kind of silly.

Horrible rule. Play should have stood. If the Giants don't commit the hold, I believe(?) the 50 yarder stands, but it just goes back 15 yards from where he got tackled(?)...which is just absurd...
