"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"

I'll say this..
I see what Desean said about not caring about what his QB thinks........but I have ALSO observed how he acts around Vick, and the manner in which he praises Vick to the highest and say she is honeored to be able to play with him. Soooooo.......I think his comment about not caring about what others think is more reflective of his young, rebellious nature than indicative of his respect for Vick.http://shop.cafepress.com/content/global/img/spacer.gifOK, let's try this again...

It could've cost us the game. If the Cowgirls' defense were able to man up and force a punt, and then got the ball with plenty of time to get a game-tying field goal.........believe me, Philly fans would be pissed and blaming DJax and Jorrick Calvin for that. Like the man said, act like you've been there before, and expect to be there again.
As for his attitude towards his QB, as long as he listens to him in the huddle, runs his routes and scores, fine. If there's one thing I've learned at work it's that we don't all have to like each other to do a good job together.E A G L E S

Football is entertainment - plain and simple.
For me, this is what I really find entertaining - TDs. Nothing else is needed, everything else pales in comparrison.
If they want to do a celebration what I'd like to see them do is hold up both hands, with their fingers signifying the 10 other guys that got him in the endzone.

If he just back dived into the endzone there wouldn't have been a flag. The unsportsmanlike behavior was holding the ball out to the defender. He's got to grow up. When it comes time for a big contract, they oughta put a clause in about these endzone shananigans. Score, congratulate the QB for the pass, acknowledge the O line for protection, and go sit down. I'm old school, but this behavior avoids 15 yard penalties.Sonny J

I'm not against the kid celebrating,after all he earned it.However since the league has established rules against excessive celebration and since we have issue with some/most officials idea of exactly what is or isn't a penalty DJax should err on the side of caution and just spike the freaking ball.The penalty was actually described as going to the ground in demonstration.Spike it,butt bump your QB/favorite lineman, whatever,just don't cost your team 15 yards in a seven point game with a full quarter to go.Akers covered his ass nicely with a kick to the 11 on the bounce from the 17.Most days that kick would be on the 30 or so which puts the other team at midfield on an avg return.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays. They have a team-first mentality. They're selfless individuals.

That's kind of not the point. The point is, it shouldn't be asking much for a guy to just score and not be a douchebag.

You should look at it the other way - If DJax wasn't as talented as he is, we wouldn't have scored the TD! Who else on this team can do that?
I'll take the endzone celebrations everytime he turns a 10-yard pass into a 91-yard TD."Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." - Joe Theismann

I don't care if he celebrates. Just don't do something stupid to get a 15-yard penalty. I don't think it's asking too much to have our cake and eat it too, so to speak. Players HAVE scored long Touchdowns before and have been able to control themselves on the way into the endzone and afterwards.

Well, that is DJax right now. If you don't like him, then clamor for the Eagles to get someone else.
I think it is foolish to worry about a 15-yard penalty after someone performed an amazing athletic feat that very few other people could accomplish. You should just be happy that he scored on an amazing play. I'll take six points and a 15-yard penalty as often as you'll give it to me."Nobody in football should be called a genius.

Nobody here has even hinted that they don't want him on the team Stock. They simply don't want him to get a dumb penalty. And I would wager that you don't want to see him penalized either."Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"
