Fewell733 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I swear somebody did this back in the late 80s. I think it may have been Jerry Rice or another 49er. I was too young at the time for my memory to be completely trustworthy, but the play has always stuck in my mind. The reciever spiked the ball forward as crossing the plane.

VOR Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The MNF guys were saying that Jackson is a super cocky child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Stupid move by Jackson, but nowhere near as infamous as Pisarcik. His bonehead move will not lead immediately to a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 so what happened, for those of us who weren't watching the game? If you're near a TV you should really turn this thing on. It's a freaking circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Caveman Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Same, I'm cursing the dumbass for killing me. me too. the best part was watching westbrook completely ignore him when he came over to thank him after the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vVc50LzStA That's so awesome I loved the stop picture last night where it shows him in the air and the ball coming out. me too. the best part was watching westbrook completely ignore him when he came over to thank him after the score. I missed that but that is as it should be. I hope he got a dressing down by his teammates at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think they mentioned something about him in college spiking the ball, before the whistle, after a catch in the regular field so it became a fumble. The people who ruined my GD fantasy team was the NFL. I thought the Baltimore game was rescheduled for last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 DeSean Jackson is one lucky man. Andy Garcia should make him run 100 laps after practice all week. Don't you mean Andy Reid? Personally, I would have benched him for the rest of the half and maybe the rest of the game if he wasn't my most explosive receiver. I then would have sat him for the first half of the next game. I don't think that's worth a suspension, but maybe tearing him a new one in front of the entire team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidNation Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 You don't punish your team over a rookie's mistake. You scream at him, etc.. Secondly, it never cost the Eagles the game. To me it's funny, bizarre, and I can honestly say I've never been more confused in my life watching the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 From the espn.com recap The unbelievable part of Jackson's goof: He did it before. In a 2005 high school all-star game, Jackson spread his arms for a swan dive into the end zone, only to land at the 1. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=280915006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeFerguson Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't know if this would make me a bad GM, but I wouldn't even draft someone like this. I don't care how good he is. I absolutely loathe people who do stupid things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't know if this would make me a bad GM, but I wouldn't even draft someone like this. I don't care how good he is. I absolutely loathe people who do stupid things like this. Whatever! Dumb as that ONE play might have been, if he keeps averaging 100+ yards per game I and YOU would learn to deal with it! Think about it: if the 'Girls can cheer for TO so ludly after he trashed their star 5 years ago it goes to show that as long as you produce for THEIR team, the fans will love you no matter what!

WellDressed Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 He should make him run all the halls of the complex and have to stop at every office and say "Excuse you just need to know that I'm a dumbass!"

To me it's funny, bizarre, and I can honestly say I've never been more confused in my life watching the game. There are rookie mistakes and then there are just plain old stupid, moronic, brain dead, fartknocker, mistakes.

I think if other receivers are available in the draft that are almost as good it would be a good idea to take them instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billadelphia Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Now that's even funnier than last night's goof. It was actually a front flip at the one, where he set the ball down on the 1/2 yard line instead of the goal line. It was on the Philly news this morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7hbzpZilJE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
