Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

I know it's hard to believe but players do have lives off the field.



LOL no they better not! This is prison

I posted a picture of myself on a beach with my shirt off and I didnt get any attention.
WTF?

Salisbury's actually pretty decent from the little I interacted with him.


I was a big fan.
Edit: Schlereth sucks though. Lol

So I guess some people are getting all bent over DJ posting vacation pics on Twitter while the team is working out. Is this really a big deal? He had a pre-planned vacation and was properly excused from "voluntary" workouts, so I guess according to some people the guy needs to go into hiding.


I hate people. I mean thats really what shit is starting to boil down to. Lol. I hope he posts every effin thing he does. Good for him.
Edit: he also planned and paid for this vacation thinking he was going to be an Eagle and I believe they are not having workouts this week? If he comes back from vacation 75 pounds overweight running a 4.9 40 than we can complain.

Don't care what he does as long as he produces.

It seems like most ordinary people hold professional athletes, or celebrities in general, to a higher standard than they hold themselves or their peers to. I think all the people who are making something out of nothing with this deal would do the very same thing in Jackson's shoes. Another example is the Riley Cooper situation; lots of people couldn't figure out why the Eagles' FO resigned a guy who yelled a racial slur...just one incident, while drunk, and there are people who think he should be out of a job for that? Seems a bit unfair, if you ask me.

"Ordinary people" who are not in near the spotlight as athletes and celebrities have been fired for much less. Public intoxication could have been enough for 'ordinary people', not to mention the subsequent actions.

Way too many fans care far too much about what players/celebs do on their free time.

For the fans out there that question why athletes aren't studying film or working on their game 24/7 I ask this... with your free time are you constantly working on improving at your job? Why not? Shouldn't you also be giving up all your free time to bettering yourself for your employer?

I've never understood why fans have these completely insane expectations of athletes, like they're not allowed to take vacations, have a Facebook or Twitter account, or god forbid have any sort of life outside of football, especially during the offseason.

F'ing nuts I tell ya.

it's because we as fans are greedy... we want our tem to do the best so we feel great, and rub it in all the haters faces and our friends family and co-works who like other teams , or dallas or philly... AND ... the BIGGEST reason IMO ... the insane amount of money these players get paid, to play the game. LMAO...

If I was even making VET MIN... bet ur ass i'm focusing on work a helllllllllll of a lot more.

but I don't, I work friggin 60 hour weeks as it is.. get calls emails and texts at home at night .... travel away for business a lot... and avg like 65-70 a year.. I put in a lot of work

but I do agree, everybody deserves to relax and have fun sometimes. I have no problem with it.
