Here's where the Eagles' refusal to make a statement bites them in the ass.

No it doesn't. This is just dick waving. Even if they somehow confirm (which they won't) that an Eagles employee leaked the information, they'd have to tie it Roseman/Kelly/Lurie.

This is dumb.

[SCREAMIN EAGLE]

Good, I can;'t wait for teh FO to lay out all the dirt they have on the little Crip.

[Irish George]

its not dumb...if they prove it or not

the union representing all the league's players have formally raised this as an issue.

Significant, whether you like it or not.

[Maniac]

Eagles get a taste of their own medicine. Guilt by innuendo. Jeffy has to be seething.

[Irish George]

Spuds probably crapping himself

or whoever carried out the leak.

or whoever carried out the leak.

Don't think it was Spadaro. He loved Jackson. Was giddy as a school girl every time he had DeSean on his internet show. I thought he creamed his jeans on draft day as well when they picked DeSean.

[Riccardo]

Yes! Is this the first use of the "S" word outside of igglephans??

Once again the news starts here

[Two Gap Penetrator]

Can't wait until the Eagles lose draft picks over it or....

...some other form of penalty. That'll be my Super Bowl. Watching Jeff Lurie and Howie Roseman get theirs.

[CCPete]

Let's hope it just turns out to be the typical FO incompetence and they find no link between the Eagles and the "gangs" leak. If they get a rep for doing something like that to players , it will be a problem that won't go away for a long time. They should have got in front of this from the getgo. Laurie needs to get involved if he hasn't.

Someone explain to me how this is a smear campaign by the Eagles when the only evidence in the NJ.com article that Jackson has ties to gang members came from JACKSON himself. Jackson is the one who posted pictures with known gang members for public consumption, not the Eagles. Any legitimate journalist could have found out this information without anyone from the Eagles saying one word to them.

When does Jackson take the blame for his release? He is either a moron for posting that stuff on the internet or he is just flat out arrogant to think he can do whatever he wants without consequences.

The Eagles have not said one word about why they cut Jackson and that is their right. They can cut any player any time without any reason. If the NFLPA is so worried about Jackson, they should have thought about that during the CBA negotiations.

Because the reports said they came from unnamed team sources.

Why would House have to get involved in this???
