Lol I get the point but anyway I guess the rest of America was 100 percent right for jumping at and judging the Saints organization the moment that bounty gate was reported on espn

To be fair, you're not the comparing the same things.

If I had a friend that was convicted in a gang shooting and I supported him, my boss would probably think I was being honorable.

BUT...
if I started putting my picture on the internet flashing gang signs where my customers and colleagues could see them.

AND then the police called to let him know that a gang murder happened on my property and that some of my personal papers had been found there.

And I was being questioned about the murder

AND if I flashed gang signs at someone at work...

...I know I wouldn't work there for long and I probably wouldn't be welcomed too many places in the industry after that.

The NFL didn't have sufficient proof... Doesn't mean there wasn't something going on. Where there's smoke there's fire.

All I know is during his time in Philadelphia he has never been charged with gang activity or violent crime(s) until today... By the media

papz · 03-28-2014, 04:48 PM

Honestly I could care less if he has any affiliation with any gangs. I know plenty of people who do dumb **** and it doesn't affect me in any way... at least any more. What's concerning is this...

Rather, sources close to Jackson and within the Eagles' organization say, it originally was Jackson's off-field behavior that concerned the front office. A bad attitude, an inconsistent work ethic, missed meetings and a lack of chemistry with head coach Chip Kelly were the original reasons for his fall from grace, sources told NJ.com.

If I'm going to pay anyone a ton of money, I'm not looking for this type of baggage to go along with it. His release was strictly financial. The excuse for his release was the angle the media decided to run with. What really makes for a better story?

Do not sign DeSean. He is a me-first showboat.

Browns or Jets......

Forget gang associations, a few years ago he made an ass of himself by dropping a football before he crossed the goal-line for a TD. L-o-s-e-r.
