Jackson cut by Eagles follows ‘gang’ report; Jets still interested

It’s your move, Woody Johnson. The Eagles released star wide receiver DeSean Jackson on Friday, making him a free agent the Jets and their owner may want to grab. Jackson was released shortly after a report revealed the Eagles had concerns about his ties to gang activity in Los Angeles, complicating any decision on the receiver. --SNIP-- But the situation got a lot murkier Friday with the NJ.com report that Jackson was contacted by the LAPD about a 2010 gang-related murder. The police said Jackson was never a suspect, but his ties to Theron Shakir, a purported member of the Crips gang, led the police to speak to Jackson. Shakir was later acquitted of the murder. The report also said another gang-related murder took place in 2012 at a building owned or leased by a member of Jackson’s family and documents belonging to him were found at the scene.

I was talking about the proposed N word ban by the NFL. Sorry for the confusion

If this dude Jackson is so bad, why didn't the zero tolerance Commissar Goodell ban him? BTW, would anyone know what college he's from, if any?

The Jets were painfully weak at wide receiver last year, and recently gave up on Santonio Holmes.

Rules committee tossed it, said it was already covered by the unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting rules.

He hasn’t committed a crime yet, he’s just showing bad judgement. And he went to UC Berkley.

If flashing gangs signs in a picture is an indication of anything there are millions of teenage, suburban white girls who are gangsters.

Not just flashing gang signs, being WITH known gang members while doing it. Plus more, you need to do some reading:

Ooooh he said the N-word, the same word many black players use all the time.

Too bad we couldn’t just insert the names Obama and Ayers...

From Deadspin:

LAPD detective, Eric Crosson, clearly believes Jackson himself is part of the Crips gang. His evidence includes Jackson throwing up supposed Crip gang signs in photos, even on the field in NFL games. Also, the name of Jackson's record label—Jaccpot—because, according to Crosson, "Crips avoid putting a 'C' next to a 'K' because in gangspeak, that stands for 'Crip Killer.'"

Unfortunately, Jackson, who should renamed himself "Jaccson', will be catching passes from Michael Vicc, I mean, Vick.

And nickcarraway? You know life is over as we know it when there's a website dedicated to white chicks making gang signs.

“Felonious football players aside, I say that Woody Johnson is one of the coolest names for a football team owner ever.”

Slightly off topic,but every time I hear the name “Saxby Chambliss” I remark that is the coolest name ever for a Southern senator.

Jackson went to UC Berkeley. I think he’s worth the risk, just put behavioral incentives in his contract.
