PhillyMag.com - Those close to DeSean Jackson are concerned about his involvement with Jaccpot Records.
The Eagles wide receiver is the CEO of the emerging rap label.
The level of concern ranges from "this is an unnecessary distraction in the prime of a promising football career," to "if he stays on this course he could end up in significant financial distress."
There were whispers last fall that Jackson might be broke, but he has since signed a $51 million contract with Philadelphia.
"It's just a different lifestyle and things like that I'm getting into," says Jackson, "and just kind of helping out my boys that I grew up with, and just hopefully make it a career as far as rapping and things like that."
TURRIBLE
Agreed.TURRIBLE
thats a horrible photoshop. Or atleast it looks like a photoshop. The bars in the visor area is what im talking about.
In addition, NFLPA says NFL has voluminous tapes made by Duke Naiphon, a friend of Gregg Williams and some players, during 2010 season.
Reportedly, these tapes show the notion the Saints were engaged in diabolical plotting and encouraging injury to opponents is way overblown.
Some sources concede there may be a knuckleheaded comment or two on 2010 tapes, but the overall tenor supposedly backs players stance.
The union would like the league to make these tapes available at Monday's appeal hearing in NYC.
Unless it plans to use the tapes, however, NFL is not obligated to turn over the tapes.
NFLPA contends the tapes fall under what would be Brady rule evidence in criminal case, that is "exculpatory" evidence NFL should produce
NFLPA, in letter, also says NFL has witness interview notes showing Gregg Williams trying to inspire, not encourage hurting opponents.
My thoughts exactly.Lol who cares about what a facemask looks like?
:kobe:
a slideshow, trololololThe evidence the NFL provided to New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma on Friday in no way links the player to any "bounty" program, according to his lawyer, Peter Ginsberg.
The league, per rule, had to provide evidence for the basis of its discipline toward four suspended current and former Saints players by Friday since they have appeals hearings before NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in New York on Monday.
Ginsberg said the majority of the evidence centers around a PowerPoint slideshow of former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' directives and speeches to players. Ginsberg said there is other evidence besides the slide show, but none of it links Vilma, Will Smith, Scott Fujita or Anthony Hargrove -- all suspended for part or all of the 2012 season by Goodell -- to putting bounties on opposing players.
