Jags kicker calls DeSean a 'punk'

Andy Reid said Monday that he wasn't pleased that DeSean Jackson took a taunting personal foul penalty that negated a 50-yard pass play Sunday night against the New York Giants. (He also didn't agree with how the penalty was assessed. More on that later).
But the Eagles coach didn't exactly criticize the brash Eagles receiver as others have after Jackson flipped the football at Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell and drew an unsportsmanlike penalty.
Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee, for instance, called Jackson a "punk" on Twitter after the play happened.
"DeSean Jackson is a punk. #growuputinybastard," Scobee wrote.
He added with his next tweet: "Relax people. He's just a punk, which to me means he doesn't respect anyone or anything around him. Therefore, I don't respect him."
Scobee later apologized for his characterization of Jackson.
"Shouldn't have called DeSean Jackson that, I used the wrong words to try and make my point," he wrote.
Reid was asked about balancing Jackson's histrionics with his sometimes-great production. The receiver finished with six catches for 88 yards and returned one punt 51 yards.
"I'm not going to sit here and tell you I was happy about a penalty," Reid said Monday after the Eagles' 17-10 win over the Giants. "I wasn't happy about that. The thing I appreciated was he came out with that attitude we all love as far as loving to play the game. He was fired up and ready to go and that part I did appreciate."
As for the penalty, Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph was also called for illegal use of the hands on that play. The officials ruled that the penalties were off-setting and that the down was to be re-played. Many, including Reid, believed that because Jackson's penalty occurred out of bounds that it should have been marked off after the 50-yard gain.
"It doesn't make sense," Reid said. "I was told it was called correctly."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an email, "That is the rule and it was applied correctly. The penalties offset and nullify the play."
Here's the rule as provided by the league office:
"Article 1 - If there is a double foul (3-11-2-c) without a change of possession, the penalties are offset and the down is replayed at the previous spot. If it was a scrimmage down, the number of the next down and the necessary line is the same as for the down for which the new one is substituted.
15 YARDS VERSUS 5 YARDS
Exceptions: (1) If one of the fouls is of a nature that incurs a 15-yard penalty and the other foul of a double foul normally would result in a loss of 5 yards only (15 yards versus 5 yards), the major penalty yardage is to be assessed from the previous spot."
Reid, who is on the competition committee, was asked if the rule needed to be changed.
"I'm going do some more research on it now that it's over," Reid said. "I didn't understand it when I was out there. They explained it to me well. It's one of those that you kind of raise your eyebrow to."

hey unless we are getting one of the the top guys in exchange i say pay the man and deal with his antics whatever if can help us win a sb im all for it!!!— DJ_Bootleggah- Hmmm. Lots of folks down of DeShawn. He is just young and caught up in the moment. His talent is undeniable. He needs some coaching and he needs to grow up too. However, calling him names like "punk" says much more about the poster than it says about DeShawn.— ricciaje
- You all sound like the scrubs who sit the bench and never get playing time calling him a punk. You've never been a star in anything so you dont have swag. When you dunk on somebody or run back a 100yd kickoff you get hyped up and thats what you do to rub it in the other guys face. STOP CRYING WATERBOYS!— grn_goblin
- he is a punk...— raynesrock
- DeSean should take a page out of Larry Fitzgerald's book. Fitz is one of the biggest class acts in the league, doesn't act like a stupid idiot on the field with his taunting and celebrations like stupid DeSean. Fitz got a huge contract because he works hard and makes plays. DeSean doesn't.— Forza Azzurri
- I'm trying to remember the last time I cared what a Jaguar player thought on a subject, let alone Josh Scobee.
Regardless, DeSean can do better.— terry_l - kickers are barely football players and should even be afforded any press for their thoughts or feelings. Scoobie is closer to a soccer player then a real football player so he should keep his mouth shut when it comes to football— connorjr
- Perfect example, what did Larry Fitzgerald do after catching BOTH touchdowns against the Eagles ? He handed the ball to the ref and jogged to his sideline. If you want to be paid and considered one of the best in the league Desean, act like it ! Act like you've caught a pass before, act like you've scored a touchdown before. It's time to grow up and act like a professional.— Superskunk
- The taunting penalty, after game time has stopped, should be treated as a dead ball foul. The League needs to recognize the difference between two opposing fouls while time is running, and what we witnessed on Sunday night. The Eagles should have been aloud to decline the penalty, accept the play, and then be penalized 15 yds. for unsportsman like conduct... after the play. C;early a dead ball foul!— sledgehammer
- DeSean is an idiot. Remember dropping the ball while showboating BEFORE getting into the end zone?
Go away punk.— burns-wen-ipee - I don't think this rule applies. DeSean's penalty was AFTER the play had ended not during the play like the Giant's penalty. So, I think DeSean's penalty should have been assessed from the new line of scrimmage. If this was a touchdown, the taunting penalty would have been assessed on the kickoff so why is this any different??— RickPhilly
- Wow, the Giant fans cry more than the Cowgirl fans— dwilly
- Look Aiello is NEVER WRONG! It was a foul penalty after the play. It should have been been 1st down at the Eagles 37 yard line. These D-bags never admit they are wrong. Just like the interference on the interception and the blatant hold on Cole on the 47 yard pass to Cruz.— Zeedog
- -the anticipation for the 2014 eagles/jags showdown in philly has begun. zzzzz...
- He is a punk. He has displayed this forever. This is news?— itzjake
- Jackson is a trash-talking, showboat, we all know that. But this guy is a kicker. A freakin kicker! If you're a kicker in the NFL, then you need to keep your head down and your mouth shut because you're not a real player. This guy has no business commenting about anything. Also, love the lame "apology" that seems to be the go-to excuse for people in the public spotlight these days: "Shouldn't have called DeSean Jackson that, I used the wrong words to try and make my point". No, you used exactly the words you intended to use. Your point was that you think he's a punk...so you called him a punk. What you shouldn't have done is posted your opinion on twitter, lol.
— JimG - Its always funny when a kicker talks tough.— fmMD
- I'm an Eagles fan, always have been. But let's face it, Jackson IS a punk.— p-diddy
- are you people serious that is the most ridicules call in football,what about every time a player gets a sack and does his little celabration or after a first down a player gets up and signals a first down..n.f.l. no fun league— jesselabrake
- I wouldve done the same thing but i just would have threw it over at the sidelines, he get happy when he out runs somebody, he shouldn't had done but we still won the game and he still did pretty good.— ItsMe80

- That is Josh Scobee's signature. — terry_l
- There is no excuse for what DeSean did. He isn't 6 years old.— pizzzmoe
- this punk's behavior and others who do the same are part of the reason race relations never really improve. when will they ever learn.— billz
- win out? We will!— DreamTeamWeaver
- As long as he is getting big plays he can be a punk— drakisst
- The thing about it is, he is correct. Jackson is an immature punk.
He is self center and places himself above the team. His head is up his A$. Grow up punk.. Bednarik would have laid you 5 feet under if you did that to his team. You embarass yourself and that I could care less about. But you embarass the city and the fans.— dedhed 
Comment removed.- WOW. Look at all the name-calling, foul language, and pure hate on here... America was once a proud country, you know. They just don't make 'em like they used to. I'd hate to have grown up in some of these posters' homes. Or maybe they didn't have one...— goeagles87
- I still have a vivid picture of that hit on DJAX coming across the middle the hit that knocked him to F^&$ OUT... Y'all remember that... I don't remember EVER seeing Scobee taking those type of hits EVER...If y'all haven't noticed DJAX impact on the Eagles offence when he is not on the field... WE need to PAY THE MAN... I love the brashness of DJAX this is still a young team his attitude and aggressiveness feeds success... And YEA he should have known that Rule 18 Article 9 was going to wipe out his 51 yard play... hahahahaa.... Don't U guys EVER have fun... O.M.G... It was a against the Giants... Lets not forget the Nestee Dive or whatever against the Cowgals... I loved the spontaneity in the heat of battle against my hated opponent... We Talking The Big Blue Bums and the Stinking Cowgals in THEIR HOUSES... hahahahha... Some of y'all just can't understand rivalry... PAY DJAX the money... And HE AIN'T NO PUNK... Go Eagles.— trinieagle
- DeSean is a punk. And he is the only reason we won last night. Therefore the Eagles need that specific punk in order to win. Flushing that 50 yard catch was a disgrace. But he also generated another 150 yards.— HeelYes
- JACKSON IS HISTORY. VINCE YOUNG WILL BE HISTORY. NEITHER OF THEM WILL BE IN EAGLE UNIFORMS FOR THE 2012 SEASON. YOU CAN BOOK IT. YOUNG IS BEING SHOWCASED, JACKSON, SERIOUSLY, WHO CARES...HANDS OF STONE WILL BE GONE. HE'LL BE SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM CHILD. YOU CAN BOOK IT. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT...JUST ASK YOURSELF WHERE IS DAVID ACKERS.— frank castle
- JACKSON IS HISTORY. VINCE YOUNG WILL BE HISTORY. NEITHER OF THEM WILL BE IN EAGLE UNIFORMS FOR THE 2012 SEASON. YOU CAN BOOK IT.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IT...JUST ASK YOURSELF WHERE IS DAVID ACKERS.— frank castle
- IT DOESN'T MATTER, JACKSON WILL NOT BE WEARING AN EAGLES UNIFORM NEXT SEASON! He'll be gone probably in a trade that includes VINCE YOUNG. JACKSON IS A PUNK...ALL PLAYERS SHOULD TAKE A PAGE LARRY FITZGERALD'S BOOK ON BEING A PROFESSIONAL.— frank castle
- If they get in a fight about this, Scobee would take DeSean..... he's a punk, and can't back up his big talk.— eaglesfan81
- If they get in a fight about this, Scobee would take DeSean..... he's a punk, and can't back up his big talk.— eaglesfan81
- Best play of the game!!! Even better than Cullen Jenkins hit on the NYG back. The kid's got heart and and comes up big when we need him. If some of that would rub off on vick and most of the defense we would have a parade on broad street. BTW Pay the "punk" his money he's one of the most feared guys in the league— Ray Nathan
- ya'all need to get out and exercise. all this 'he's a punk' tough talk is more rediculous than the play itself. Too many of you want to run a guy out of town for any dumb play. They played with more attitude than they have all year. I'll take it.— bleedgreen
- I hate to say it, because I want to see the guy do well and I want to enjoy the contributions that he can make on the field with his sometimes otherworldly talent. But the fact is, DeSean is a punk.
I hope he grows up before his talent and his money dry up. If he doesn't he'll have a long miserable existence spent lamenting his lost opportunities at greatness and respect.
The streets are littered with guys who blew it. DeSean is close to becoming another posterboy in a tall and conspicuous stack of guys who had the world by the short hairs only to become has been nobodies.
I hope he gets it together.— Jona Jay - The dictionary defines punk as "a young, inexperienced person," and that is what DeSean is. Let's hope he'll grow up at some point.— Dave Clemens
- these nitwits get paid millions to play a game in front of drunk morons, they need to get over shallow rules. you're an entertainer, not a soldier.— dreinterests
- he's a punk that some team is going to pay a WHOLE lot more $$$ in one year then that kicker will in ten years .............— anthemra
- Funny how many Giants and Cowboys fans log in here. Don't they have their own blogs? Desean has some growing up to do, but at least Rosenhaus can't get him to go nuclear like did with T.O.— dapmman
- Not a fan of the word punk--unless it refers to music or people with attitudes who cross me (personally). SO, I can't say Jackson is a punk. He's got a serious attitude problem, and doling out the money would be a HUGE mistake. HUGE (repeated and in caps!).
Why? Right now, he's playing for the contract. This is how he plays when motivated. He sits out games and engages in histrionic behavior. By giving him a lucrative deal, he loses motivation and competitive drive, but not the attitude. Worse, the Eagles would be tied to that attitude for the life on the contract, and would have difficulty trading him.
One bit to take in across sports--a player in the last year of a deal, with free agency on the way, is motivated. A player who has the deal and money rarely shows that same level of ethic or motivation. This being the final year, Jackson's antics have increased--which is cause for concern. He's an immense talent, but if I were GM, I wouldn't give him the deal (or I'd sign him to a one-two year deal and turn around and trade him for a pick or two).— pillsbury - That isn't even the correct rule everyone is quoting. Geeze...someone get this right other than me. Andy here is the rule....
Rule 14 Article 9 If there has been a foul by either team during a down and there is a dead ball foul by the other team in the action immediately after the end of the down, it is a double foul, and all rules for enforcement of double fouls apply (see 14-3-1).
Ok...Andy, got that? The rule was applied correctly, not even the league office could give you the correct interpretation. How much do you pay your assistants? It took me all of 45 seconds to look that rule up.
No wonder why the Eagles never have and never will win a super bowl.— arrgy 
Jackson is a punk and so are his apologists. Pro football is becoming unwatchable, like pro basketball. All hype, little substance.- Comment removed.
- @silrock - 9,776 of his followers don't think he's "ric0ckulous"...— Sam Crow
- DeSean is a punk... but when you are 5 foot nothing and 160 pounds, than you need to play with a little attitude. I wish more guys on this team were punks. And the penalty was ridiculous. Let the players handle it on the field. The NFL is keeping up with its image of being the No Fun League!— dankil13
Wait, am I the only one that thinks its funny and ric0ckulous that Josh Scobee even has a twitter account? Like anyone cares about a kicker. Love it.- It's hard to get that worked up over his antics as a fan. However, if I were one of his Eagles teammates I'd b*tchslap that little twerp across his smirky little mouth a few times until he learns to respect the other players on his team.— Sam Crow
- F--k the Giants. I applaud flipping anything at all at them, including gently throwing them the football after the play, which is NOT unsportsmanlike conduct unless you happen to be a granny. If it WAS a foul, it happened AFTER the play which does not apply TO the play. The NFL has gotten too soft. Maybe we should consider touch football and saying "please" and "thank" you after every play. Then all you grannies could feel good again. sheesh.— Larry Byrd
- @peteike, I'm well aware of Harrison's trouble off the field. Unfortunately, that's not something a referee can throw a flag at. None of the men who play in the NFL are perfect, and more than a few are far from perfect. I'm only referring here to how you should conduct yourself with a little class while on the field as the four football greats I mentioned have consistently done.— dasher
- hey Dasher, Marvin Harrison just shoots people on his free time, but thats no character flaw, he gets a pass for that one— peteike
- Come on...what DeSean did was really not that bad. How many other WR's in the league celebrate after a catch with some silly routine? I think he has been singled out by the officials and made an easy target.
Granted, he is no choirboy, but to wipe out the whole play cause of THAT? Come on....— PhiladelphiaPhil - Dump Vick and Jackson. Learn why it was a mistake to acquire scum like this. Only then will the Eagles begin to rebuild.— billy goat
- The best players always have and should be treated differently? Say what? I can't remember Jerry Rice or Marvin Harrison having to be treated differently, or Barry Sanders or Walter Payton. Don't apologize for such juvenile behavior, and don't characterize it as representing Philadelphia, either.— dasher
- Comment removed.
- He is a punk but every team would like to have him— farley
- first off almost all these players do the same thing and if 1 gets a penalty then all should get a penalty.Yea i know no one likes philly.if jackson was on your team,you too would be offended right now.every team has an assclown or 2 on it.every game you watch there is taunting going on..its part of the game.But because its an eagle everyone has to be so negative about it.most of these millionaires are arrogant and actually i think its kind of fun to watch esspecially when a player whose team is getting blown out and he makes a play and acts like he just saved his team.......FUNNY— ackid38
- When you are a professional football player getting paid far more than the average American then you need act professionally.
That means coming to practice when under contract, making full effort when playing, and acting like an adult after making a good play. Is it really that hard to do? I guess it is if you're a punk.— brentrn - Man-child maybe better than punk. No 'I' in team but T.O. &, now DuhSean, know there's a 'ME.' Stop making excuses and let some other team deal with his immaturity. Enough already.— narkose3535

- EAGLESPHREAK23--- IT'S RIDICULOUS ALRIGHT. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT A GROWN MAN CAN'T EXHIBIT ANY SELF CONTROL AT WORK AND THAT THERE ARE APOLOGISTS OUT THERE WHO ARE TRYING TO TELL US IT'S OK. DESEAN, ACT LIKE YOU'VE BEEN ON A FOOTBALL FIELD BEFORE! GROW THE HELL UP OR GET OUT OF TOWN!— DONDEN31
- He IS unquestionably a punk! He is a glorified punt returner.— kozykoz26
- DeSean Jackson is STUPID!!!!!!!!! A very talented athlete, but just plain stupid. Stupid is as stupid does.
- Then I would ask Mr. Aiello, "Just when is the play over? If it isn't over after Jackson steps out of bound, when is it? What if Jackson waited 15 or 20 seconds later to taunt the Giants sideline? Would the penalties offset? NFL officiating can be best described as 'A pack of lies agreed upon'."— jamisonrock
- Tolerance for this kind of garbage is the #1 reason Andy Reid SHOULD be fired. You can never win for long without any standards or character. DeSean Jackson is arguably one of the top 5 athletes in the NFL (Mike Vick #1) other than his great individual plays he adds NOTHING to the rest of his teammates. Truly great players like Michael Jordon help to raise others...DeSean, who does he raise!— celticfool
- This whole thing is so ridiculous. It's ridiculous that Jackson has to flip the ball at a coach on the sideline and then dance like he just won the Super Bowl when his team was 3-6 at the time. Clearly a punk move. It's ridiculous that the gain wasn't acknowledged because of a weird glitch to the rule. It's ridiculous that as a society we've become so "sensitive" that the NFL has to penalize players for something as benign as shooting off their mouth a little after making a nice play. It's ridiculous that an idiot kicker on a team with a worse record than the Birds' thinks anyone should care about what he says. I don't agree with the fact that it is a penalty, but because it is, I agree that DeSean is a punk for doing it. It's unneccesary and selfish and also because the Eagles are 3-6, now 4-6 and not in any position to really be taunting anyone.— eaglesphreak23
- If it looks like a punk, walks like a punk and talks like a punk... guess what?? It's a punk. Therefore DeSean is a punk. Someone end his season/career and break his leg/legs.— rugbyjt
- DeSean Jackson...the character of Philadelphia personified!— celticfool
- punk or no punk, he backed it up yesterday, and yes Reid needs to get him to grow up, or he will end up as another washed up T.O.
out here in the NY area you can't beat a Monday when both the Jets and Giants are showing their true colors and going in the toilet
I don't love Reid, but he got the job done yesterday with a backup quarterback against a very overrated Giants team.— NorthJersey-Philly Guy - as anyone who has seen my posts, I'm no homer and regulary rip Phillies and Eagles misdeeds .. having said that I respect talent and would have kept T.O. over Reid and McNabb, and would keep DeSean over no-talent "quality human beings" ..."nice guys" go to playoffs and lose (see, e.g., McNabb, et al.) , jerks win (See, e.g,, Jordan ,Kobe, Belichek, Parcells)— warbiscuit
- Give him a brain transplant and a contract!— 4thand10
- DeSean needs to put on his big boy pants and man up! Enough of the BS, he'll get his $ since that all he cares about. What a shame that was on national TV.— Sportsterroy
- DeSean IS a immature punk!!!!! Take off the homer shoes people. How many stupid punk plays does this guy have to make to open some people's eyes? Cost the team a 50 yard gain just because you got the mentality of a 15 year old? Please!— twpman
- between that play and the continued botched punt returns where he loses yards (I guess you take the good with the bad) there is no way the Eagles sign him long term. This was their plan from the beginning, to get all they can value wise on the cheap rookie contract. Now Desean is making it easy for them now that some public sentiment is against him. Isnt Twitter great, I love all the people that put their foot in their mouth and then have to try to explain themselves, makes for great entertainment.— peteike
- without DeSean, Eagles have no chance of winning yesterday's game (or many others past 3 years)..not his fault rules are asinine --at least he has talent ..more than can be said for just about anyone else on the team other than McCoy— warbiscuit
- agree with potus and bearsfriend --nfl rules are arbitrary and lead to absurd results --why should team get better deal with its own offsetting penalty than if it did not have the penalty called against them..simple solution woud have been to allow Eagles to decline the Giants offsetting penalty to at least allow them to take the 50-yard gain and then have the taunting penalty asessed after the play... at least dont have to watch NBA ridiculous officiating where whether something is a foul or a traveling depends on the player and his official "superstar status and how long he's "established himself" ... nba officiating so corrupt that a referee can be openly throwing games (as was the case) and he doesnt even look that much worse than the others— warbiscuit
- Is there any Eagles fans who thought or said, "Good job Desean on tossing the ball and yelling at the Giants defensive co-ordinator. Who cares if it nullifies a 50 yard gain from your own 2. You showed him." He thinks it's more important for him to taunt the opponent after a nice gain than waiting till after the game is over. He is a punk.— Philliesguy
- A lot of people take out their unhappiness with their own lot in life on people who can do things that they could never do or even hope to do. Hence the hating. Of course it was boneheaded for Desean to flip that ball, but the personal attacks say way more about the speaker (in this case a sorry kicker on a sorry team) than it does about the target.— kevmack
- I don't understand why everyone is so thin skinned. Football is a game. Games are supposed to be fun. Let the kid have fun. If you don't like the way he does it, don't watch his team. But to penalize him for a little fun and trash talk is what's making the NFL boring. T.O., Ocho, Joe Horn, etc. made it fun to watch teams you don't care about. There's no harm in taunting another team. They're supposed to be football players. Not little kids being bullied in the playground. Grow a pair and deal. If you don't like it, stop him.— davew31
- Yeah, taunting goes on all game long, but you miss the point. Bottom line: He cost his team 50 yards with his egocentric stupidity. Act like you've done it before, MEsean!! — keepitrealeveryone
- so, if the idea is "let's all just have fun w/ no regard for the rules", I'm fine with that.
you're probably too young to have seen it, so go search "Lambert slams Harris" on youtube.
that looked like fun.
maybe someone should apply that to Jackson's narrow @$$.
might help him spend more time playing and less time taunting.
— ekw555 - Right on davew31! "Taunting" is the 2nd dumbest penalty int the NFL next to "excessive celebration". And who cares what Josh Scobee thinks. The bottom line is that the Eagles are a better team when he's on the field. BTW - I taunt my kids when I make a big play on Madden so I guess I'm a punk too. — xpatriate
- DeSean is a punk...Scobee hit the nail on the head with the remark. DeSean needs an attitude adjustment unfortunately no one in the organization knows hot to handle him or any of the egos on this team. Reid can't even discipline/reprimand his own kids...how could he discipline DeSean.— desertduck31
- Some folks here seeming have varying definitions of "punk" all I can say is DeSean lacks class in making a big play. The play itself spoke for DeSean's ability, he really did not need to rub it in. Scobee really had no reason to comment on the play, did it affect him was he a Giants fan? Doubt it honestly not sure why people tweet so much. If you concerned call the person or visit them. No personal touch with twitter and seemingly more harm is done tweeting than good. It's self indulgence and ego boosting fun I guess..except Scobee, a good kicker, should just stay away from tweeting as should NFL players in season— glove69
- Bigfatsandwich:
You need to send your example to the NFL's competition committee. I'd like to see their response— Polecat_39 - Scobee is correct, he is a complete punk, but he is OUR punk!

- i guess his benching last week didn't do anything to DJax's brain. Grow up, man.— palmyra21

- Tell us something we don't know Scooby!— lostInPhilly
- Scooby needs to STFU and mind his own buisness....— Cryptker
- This is just one of many rules I have a problem grasping the logic. If a play is dead, how can there be off setting penalties. At what point did that make sense to the rule makers. If the Giants had not had a penalty, then the 50 yard gain would have been acknowledge and the taunting penalty assessed from there.— PhillyFanSouth
- Let me see if I understand this correctly. If DeSean had been called for taunting on a gain of 50 yards, it would have reduced that gain to 35, right? But if New York was also flagged, the gain would have been reduced to zero. So, in other words, if the Giants had witnessed this taunting and saw the flag being thrown, it would have actually benefited them to have someone lay a huge blindside hit on Vince Young and knock him into last month?— bigfatsandwich
- The only "punks" in this story are people who actually follow kicker Josh Scobee on Twitter— Tacklebury
- LOL! Now that is the truth. Nice shot, Tacklebury. — eaglesphreak23
- I thought when he bought that family some groceries that he had some character. Sunday he showed he is still immature.— mikemaddog
- MEsean IS A PUNK!! He just doesn't get...nor will he ever. He'll be in Cincinnati next year--or Oakland! Buh bye!— keepitrealeveryone
- If Andy Reid would have benched DeSean Jackson after the penalty, the Eagles would have lost the game, since the 51 yard punt return by Jackson led directly to a touchdown which never would have happened without the punt return. Jackson is who he is. You have to take the bad with the good. Maybe someday he'll mature and we'll get the best there is out of him.— SteveS11
- Athletes that apologize for what they say are punks.
— Tyrone Biggums - Giants were REWARDED for their penalty. The rule needs to change.— potus
- Yes it does...the NFL sometimes is a joke...Take the hideous reversal of a touchdown yesterday by Jermaine Gresham of the Bengals..An absolutely incredible catch late in the game against the Ravens was reversed on replay...ala the Calvin Johnson TD catch from a year ago..Gresham went nearly six yards into the end zone after he "possessed" the ball, just to have the ball touch the ground as he rolling like a bowling ball...How long did he have to have it for? Absolutely mindless rule. — bearsfriend
- Not to mention the fact that Gresham put a foot down OUT OF BOUNDS before his hand hit the ground with the ball in it. That was a ridiculous call! — uncle meat
- athletes that then take back what they tweet are #weak.— bloodymess
- Athletes who tweet to begin with are weak. — fmMD
- If it acts like a punk, talks like a punk, and continually struts like a punk.... Hmmmm...must BE a punk?!! Dudes like this will never learn or change as long as Andy boy allows them to. Please Joe Banner, don't reward this behavior and give him a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract!! I'm better now.— keepitrealeveryone
- A "kicker", a "kicker"...excuse me....a "kicker" .... a prima donna diva kicker says anything.....the guy never gets his shirt dirty, never does anything and says what....???? what a joker......and for you haters.....keep it up.....but somehow you dont seem to mind that he spreads the field and makes everyone else better....Sure it was dumb and maybe he will grow up some day.....but you cannot tell me as a fan of the birds, you don't love what he does on the field....so shut up and stop listening to idiot kickers....— nuggett
- I don't care if its a kicker,Kermit the Frog,Mean Joe Greene, or my Mother In Law...what's it matter?...As talented as DeSean jackson is, as great as he can be...he's mindless when he lets his "street warrior" get the best of him....whether its taunting a player while he's high stepping into the end zone or taking an idiotic penalty...What's to love about that?...Beating his man, gliding by defenders at will with focus and determination...that;s what I like...and he CAN give it to me...But not when he has an unnecessary chip on his shoulder...Play ball, get paid...he should put the onus on management with tough,heady play rather than the I'm being oppressed BS. — bearsfriend
- i still dont understand y the play was negated i mean since both penatlies off set shouldnt the ball b spot where Jackson made the catch cuz he tauted after the play makes no sense but daytz the NFL 4 ya— VickaDelphia24
- throwing that flag was absolutely ridiculous.— Northeaster
- I wouldn't call him a punk, but he's done way too many stupid things after plays have ended. I've always said he should be making $2 or $3 million a year, but I can't see giving that kind of money to someone who never seems to learn. I now say he's getting the right salary.— armchairGM
- He's worth much more than $2-3 million per year. He wants paid like $10+ million.... that's why the contract issue exists. — eaglesfan81
- Celebrities and athletes need social media training.— gho_matt
- DeSean is a punk - has been for years and AR has let it slide - time and time again.
Scobee is a punk. Happy to see another NFLer call out DeSean, but Scobee is a punk for then backing down from his statement.— jhjack - "Shouldn't have called DeSean Jackson that, I used the wrong words to try and make my point."
He's right, he should have called him an 'expletive punk.'— txflyer - This is the NFL, the best players have and always should be treated differently than those without talent. It's just how it goes...like it or not.— SilliBilli
- DeSean is a punk....and Andy Reid should have shown some character ) and benched him again after that punk taunting display that got a penalty and put the ball back on the Eagles two yard line.— frank105
- Frank ur a punk, u get punked on a daily basis, & ur a hater!! — first down
- first down...were did you learn to speak/write english? DeSean is a disgrace to our city — celticfool
