Re: DeSean Jackson meeting with the Redskins on Monday

I don't like how DJ is being labeled a cancer. I mean the guy is good and he knows it. His arrogant attitude has been earned. We're not talking about Fat Al. He's not dividing locker rooms or punching out his teammates. Whoever ends up with DJ and his salary, it's not like the guy hasn't earned it. As long as the guy doesn't shoot anyone or do illegal drugs, I'm cool with him.

Not everyone on the team is going to keep their nose clean. You know by today's standards people would characterize Riggo has having "character issues".

I don't buy the "gang ties" stuff, so I am not knocking DJax for that or for anything criminal.

But I would not describe Riggo like DJax because Riggo, by many accounts, was a great teammate. DJax, going back years, appears to have little concept of the idea of a team. Reversing the usual, his motto appears to be, "There is no "team" in "I." Heck, at Cal he didn't even know his teammates' names.

Obviously most folks here differ. His talent and numbers are quite attractive. But he's not the kind of guy who I would want in my locker room.

I can respect that. But who knows. I can't speak for his college days, but I doubt there were many high quality personalities in Philly. It is Philly after all. He's still young, maybe he can make a change for the better in DC.
