Jackson to Jackson: Stop the nonsense
Bob Brookover
Jamaal Jackson loved DeSean Jackson's 64-yard touchdown reception during the second quarter of the Eagles' 34-14 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs.
He didn't like the head-first-dive-into-a-front-split celebration so much.
"I told him, 'Great run, but let's try to exhibit some professionalism,' " the Eagles' center said. "There's nothing wrong with a little celebration, but once you put your body at risk, that's when you want to take a step back and look at the big picture. There's nothing wrong with just handing the ball to the ref."
Jamaal thinks DeSean might heed his advice, especially because the receiving Jackson also vomitted on the sideline after his celebration.
"I've been trying to talk to these young guys," Jamaal said. "I tell them, 'Hey man, this is our jobs. It isn't some pickup game. I told him that right after he scored. After that, he was on the sideline throwing up. You run that long of a time, you need to save some of your energy. He was hurling. I might seem like the old guy out there, but my position on this team is to try to lead these guys by example."
Eagles coach Andy Reid didn't make a big deal about the celebration, saying simply that it was a good indication to him that Jackson's strained groin was feeling OK.

- A lot of people on here do not seem to know that when you are physically drained that you "throw up". This leads me to believe that the majority of the people who comment on it have never pushed themselves to their limit. It must be nice to be 5'5" 300 lbs eating Doritos on the couch while talking bad about a superior athlete's heart.— Nothing but the truth
