After the Eagles put a 59-28 thumping on the Redskins last night, star Philly wide receiver DeSean Jackson used what you might call a less than judicious comparison in a post game interview: "We were like pit bulls, ready to get out of the cage." Descriptive? Yes. The right analogy for a squad led by the NFL's resident czar of dog-fighting? Maaaaaybe not.
But to be fair to DeSean, this has always been his manner of speaking in the media, this just happens to be the first quote to gain so much publicity. Here are a few of his lesser known quips:
- When asked what he thought of Tiger Woods's suddenly resurgent putting game: "Plain and simple, that guy can put it in any hole."
- When asked what he thought former President George W. Bush should name his new kitten: "Katrina."
- When asked what long term influence the late Kurt Cobain had on the culture of modern rock music: "He was right there at the beginning of the alternative music craze. And he gave the world of rock what it needed, a radical change and a shock to its system. It was like a shot to the head."
- When asked what he thought of Brett Favre and the Vikings torrid week 9 comeback: "They had a monster second half. They came out the gates like a swollen phallus breaking free from its denim prison."
And don't forget when asked about the Laker's recent loss to Phoenix, he said (of Kobe) "That guy won't stay down for long. He has a way of getting what he wants."
