Eagles had made the decision prior to gang stuff

[slag]

I don't know if they orchestrated that article ... but if they did, it's the best fucking smear I've ever seen.

And it would be the most unfair if not true, because I cannot believe how much national traction that shit got. (although ultimately he got paid pretty well)

No

Actual CONCRETE proof that DeSean is a gang member ? No. They don't.

I don't have actual CONCRETE proof that you missed your pap smear appointment earlier....DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!

The one thing that still amazes me

Johnny loves juries who make decisions on innuendo.

after thirty-one years at the bar, is the fact that juries basically stink. They totallly stink.

saying that jettisoning Jackson was in the works as soon as the season was over.

It was why they were so quick/agressive to get Maclin and Cooper resigned and why they went after Sproles, all of it was a step by step process setting up for his release.

I agree if the NJ article was orchestrated by the FO and there is nothing to it, that's pretty damn weak.

I basically agree with this.

I think the gang angle is pretty weak tea, though. They just wanted to get rid of Jackson. For me, the question is whether they leaked the story or it was independently developed. Either way, given the timing, it was used as justification for the release.

it also makes sense why they wanted Maclin long term
