Cowboys didn't like DeSean's end zone antics
Daily News staff
Andy Reid wasn't the only one not thrilled with DeSean Jackson's backwards fall into the end zone at the end of his 91-yard touchdown reception.
Some of the Dallas Cowboys weren't particularly fond of it, either.
``It was disrespectful," cornerback Mike Jenkins said. He knew he was going to score. That's him. We beat him three times in a row last year, so he was going to come back and try to everything he could."
Linebacker Keith Brooking: ``He's a great player. Obviously when you make a play like that, you're going to get excited. I don't think that's the best part of football, but I guess he did.''
Defensive back Orlando Scandrick: “We’re good friends and hang out in the offseason. He’s just being himself. Some people might say a showboat. But we all play this game. It’s fun, and what goes on between those lines gets left out there. Is it disrespectful? Possibly.”

As we told you in today's Daily News, Tashard Choice said the Michael Vick autograph that he got after the game was for his 3-year-old nephew.
Choice immediately went on Twitter to try to quell the negative fan reaction.
He explained further to the Dallas Morning News. Choice said he knew Vick from the time that Vick was in Atlanta with the Falcons and Choice was at Georgia Tech.
"I have nothing but respect for him," Choice said. "I admire somebody who can overcome circumstances and come back and prove people wrong."
Choice continued his apology this morning on Twitter:
"If its anybody that cares about winning and the d cowboys its me. I apologize to the people it was just an innocent gensture for my nephew."

The Eagles apparently had a rough flight up, according to some players.
"Just touched down in Philly," Jamar Chaney wrote. "That was a rough flight. Had to start praying it was so much turbulence."
"That the Lord," DeSean Jackson wrote. "Jus made it safe, one of the worst turbulence I every witness!! Woke us all up out our sleep."

Asante Samuel was back at the NovaCare Complex this morning for treatment on his knee.
We will see what Andy Reid has to say about his status and other injuries at noon. Check back on Eagletarian for more updates.

End zone celebrating would have been OK if it does'nt cause your team to be penalized like it did for our team. There were many "should have been" calls the refs failed to catch. Oh well, we WON and proud of the Eagles. Yeah!! Next in sight...Giants. Go Team.— jo4210- The cowgirls should stop cryin and look at some film from the Michael Irvin days, I didn't hear them cryin about showboating back then and they should shut up now.— Jake711
- Watching DeSean mugging for the camera like some nitwit at Chickie and Pete's while they were trying to interview Vick was kind of embarrassing. Come on, bro...be a professional, be a grownup. And when you score a TD, act like you've been there before. That 15 yard penalty could set the Cowboys up to come right back. We play these jackwipes again in a couple weeks. Don't add fuel to their fire.— dasher
- 1. Stupid call: There's absolutely NOTHING against the rules with 'diving' into the endzone. Jackson's mistake? doing in Dallass vs Jerry's Pukes. The League just can't stand to see the League's favorite team lose. 2. Rule: is typically enforced on 'group-celebrations' (anybody remember the Redskins when 8 idiots would gather around and to a circle-jerk?), also if you directly taunt a player (wave the ball in face routine, or walk up to a guy and trash talk, which is/was designed to cut down on fights breaking out when the girls have their feelings hurt). So, you're in Dallass, vs the NFL's very own Cowgirls, you just gotta know the rules WILL be different. It's been that way the entire 40+ years I've been folllowing this game, it'll never change. Look around the league highlights the next couple weeks, I promise you will see at least a dozen more blatant 'celebrations' that are NOT penalized. Go Birds!!! and "How bout them Cowgirls"???!!!!— SaganRand
- The celebration was a little much but Brooking is the biggest baby. He is the same guy who went after the Vikings after they scored a touchdown and the same guy who went on a radio show, committed to do an interview, and then blasted the host because he said the Cowboys stunk. He is a baby!— oharabri
- Next time, Jackson should quietly give the ball to the ref, then after the game go up to Brookins and ask for his autograph— SaganRand
Comment removed.- I personally dont see anything wrong with what he did after the TD, I was hoping he would go over and do his little dance on the star in the end zone.....this was the cherry on top of the jerry jones sunday so to speak....lol— bigeagle57
- Some of you expect more class and dignity from a football player than you do you're own elected officials. These guys are paid to run down field as bash each others heads in, they're not representatives of me or the state of Pennsylvania. Get a life, expect more from the people you elect, not a 25 year old player that is just having fun.— gditty
- This from the team that had Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin...— davesju93
It should be illegal for professional athletes to publicly post their thoughts & ideas on twitter. Don't complain about being called a "dumb" athlete when you possess the grammar and spelling skills of a six year old. Everyone makes typos, but if thousands of people are following me on twitter, I'm going to double check whatever I wrote to be sure that it makes some semblance of sense.— DixonBunz- Scope33- You're a tool. No one supports what Vick did. But I fully support his right to pay his debt (as he has done)and move on and be left the hell alone. EAGLES BABY!!!!! How bout them Cowboys??? LMFAO!!!!— PHILLYT2LA
- This is hilarious. The idiot Cowgirl fans below and their loser players complaining? Jerry Jones, the NFL's resident creep, is ON THE SIDELINE STANDING WITH THE PLAYERS for most of the second half. Upstaging and disrupting the coach, assistants and players themselves! DeSean, you didn't do ENOUGH. You should have concussed Jones, grabbed him by his hips and wiped his backside on the 50 yard line star. It would have been a favor to the Dallas coach.— Bob1
People need to back off of DJax, people are two sensitive. That’s why the NFL is jacked up now. Why is there even a rule about TD celebrations? I remember when players were known for the end zone celebrates. They would even have them on video games. Now because people want to cry all the time, everything is a penalty. DJax is being himself. I found it very funny. Nobody was crying when the Falcons were doing the dirty bird all the time. How about Deon “Primetime” Sanders! Eagles knew who they were drafting.- Over_Exposed- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..............— PHILLYT2LA
