Ashley Fox did her part to contribute to the DeSean-Jackson-Is-Cocky meme in this morning’s papers. It was a worthy addition to the canon (including quotes from a local high school coach who was involved in Jackson’s previous celebration gaffe — yes, I just said “previous celebration gaffe”), and seems to confirm that Ashley Fox is going to be on soft-focus feature detail for the rest of the season.
Still, there was one paragraph I found confusing; Fox wrote that:
Jackson quickly developed a bond with quarterback Donovan McNabb, spending time with McNabb in Arizona before training camp opened in late July.
I mean, maybe that did happen, but I thought he had skipped that little trip (and even posted on it). Also, Eagletarian seemed to confirm as much at the time. So. Maybe new information has come to light. Or maybe it’s much more convenient to assume that the kid’s performance is a result of his special relationship with the quarterback, which must be the product of some extra time in the offseason (even if it didn’t really happen).
I’ll stop now.
