Both this week's nominations for Classy and Unclassy people of the week played for the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
Classy: Donovan McNabb - The Mount Carmel grad has been a class act his entire career and has had to prove that a number of times. First the Philadelphia fans that booed him on draft day, then Terrell Owens, and now former Eagles teammate DeSean Jackson. Jackson told media this past week that Donovan being gone (to division rival Washington) was no big deal. McNabb classily told reporters that his Eagles' career is in the past and that he had no comment. He took the high road, yet again. I really hop Donovan and the Redskins pound the Eagles when they meet in Philly October 3.
Unclassy: DeSean Jackson: Jackson's comment made no sense, especially from someone who was either all in or all out of games last year for the Eagles. While Jackson led the NFL in TD receptions of over 60 yards, he would rarely get more than three catches a game and was sometimes shutout altogether. The most unpredictable fantasy player ever. He is also known for one of the biggest celebratory blunders of all-time, celebrating a would be touchdown at the five yard line in his rookie year when the Eagles played at Dallas. I guess he forgot that it was McNabb that thew him all those balls. We will see how much he misses McNabb when the unexperienced Kevin Kolb era starts this year.
