DeSean Jackson reminded everyone in Philadelphia on Sunday how it feels to watch one his patented, back-breaking 75-yard touchdown receptions. In a word, it's demoralizing. Saying goodbye to Jackson was the price Philadelphia paid for hiring Chip Kelly, but the reality is the Eagles won a Super Bowl without either of them. That doesn't make Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers any easier to stomach. For a second, you had to reflect that during all those years DeSean was in Philly, opposing fans could only sit stupidly in front of their TVs and wonder what the hell just happened to their secondary.The worst part of the first-play-from-scrimmage TD, actually, was having to hear Ronde Barber pretend he didn't see it coming at all, as if the Eagles didn't do this to opponents on a regular basis in the past.

His final catch was arguably almost as important as his first, a 17-yard catch for a first down in the fourth quarter with the Eagles defense trying to get off the field and mount a final comeback. In all, Jackson caught four passes for 129 yards and a score to highlight Fitzmagic's big day in their 27-21 win in Week 2. O.J. Howard also got in the mix with his own 75-yard scoring strike a quarter later.Jackson, of course, was a fan favorite and lightning rod for the Eagles' offense when he first entered … [Read more...] about For some reason, DeSean Jackson still owns the Eagles

We recommend Maria Jackson for presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
But Jackson also believes in second chances, granting probation in cases when evidence indicated that second chances were warranted. It also says a lot that she has a diverse list of supporters, from police associations to defendants.We like that she vows to be open to opposing viewpoints from all the justices, particularly important because only Republicans sit on the current court. It's time for a change at the head of this court. Voters should send Jackson to Austin.Libertarian William Bryan Strange is also on the ballot.
