Mostly Boos For Jackson In Return To Philly
By Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson made his return to Lincoln Financial Field Sunday as a member of the Washington Redskins and the fans greeted him with a chorus of boos.
It didn't take long for the boo birds to come out with Jackson catching a pass on the 2nd play of the game. Boos were even louder when he got into a scuffle with Eagles defenders a few plays later.
Fans really let him have it after he scored an 81-yard touchdown in the 3rd quarter. Those who spoke with KYW Newsradio were all in agreement about his departure:
"He's a diva. I don't think it's a big loss."
"He's a bum. He was a bum then, he's a bum now."
"I don't think DeSean Jackson is worth missing."
Fans say newcomers Darren Sproles and rookie wideout Jordan Matthews are more than enough to replace Jackson's production.
