Cf on the phone is the shtein. Get a job and buy a bb or iphone. People in their 20s have disposable income to blow on this stuff

[Munson]

I've never been interested in having a high tech phone. As long as I can call, text, and take pictures, it's good enough for me.


I'd much rather spend my disposable income on school, food, drinks, and poker.

And honestly, both of you...off the nuts.

Les Bowen: The bottom line: Who gives a flip how Jackson celebrates?
By Les Bowen

I SAY, LET DeSean be DeSean.

As long as the Eagles' second-year wideout doesn't hurt himself, incur a crucial penalty, or inadvertently eject the ball before crossing the goal line, I don't care if he performs the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet" in the end zone.

I know center Jamaal Jackson was sincere when he went over to No. 10 and voiced his objections to the flip, slide and split after the 64-yard touchdown reception Sunday, but I just can't help but flash back 5 years, when Terrell Owens' post-TD "artistic statements" were just wonderful theater, as far as teammates and fans were concerned. Never saw Jamaal - or anyone else - tell T.O. to cool it. Of course, Jamaal spent the 2004 season on IR, but still.

Maybe the thinking in being concerned about this is that the celebrations are a step along the road to becoming as big a pain in the rear/distraction as T.O. If that really is the case, perhaps an intervention is warranted. (If not an outright exorcism.)

But Andy Reid, a pretty good barometer in such matters, did not seem concerned when asked about Sunday's display, either in his postgame presser or yesterday's day-after recap.

Reid, asked a question yesterday that practically begged him to praise Jamaal Jackson for upbraiding the young wideout, said only that he tells his players to "act like you've been there before." Then he allowed that if he were to say that to DeSean, the Eagles' emerging star might reply that he has indeed been there before - three times in three games.

"I don't mind a little personality," Reid concluded. "Adding a little spice to it doesn't hurt."

DeSean, by the way, said he was more careful with the flip-slide-into-split move than it must have seemed to those of us who might wind up in traction just thinking about trying it.

"It was like sliding into second base," he said last night on ESPN 950-AM's "DeSean Jackson Show." "I'm safe."

Jackson said Reid suggested he "go easy on the celebrations," but "it's really hard to take that out of my game."

Money shot

I don't think anyone's concerned with DeSean turning into a T.O.-sized douche, rather I think everyone's concern is more about injuring himself and penalties.  The NFL seems more so now than ever to be cracking down on touchdown celebrations, and giving up 15 yards in field position on the kickoff in a tight game is a steep price to pay. 

I would love the NFL to back off with its attempt to put a stranglehold on things that always make the highlight reels and what fans ultimately want to see, but until that sentiment changes he needs to figure out where the line is and at least make a conscious attempt in not crossing it. 

[Eagaholic]

the problem I had with pimp doing the flip was that he had a groin injury and took a shot to numb the pain before the game. he landed from the flip with his legs a little awkwardly stretched and he's lucky he didn't re-injure himself.  that's just plain dumb in that kind of situation.
