Anyone ever realize that on Sunday night / Monday night football when the players introduce themselves, after DJ says his name, he says he is from Long Beach Poly and doesn't mention Cal. Not sure if it had anything to do with Tedford benching him for the first quarter of the Armed Forces Bowl, but it is a shame he doesn't speak of Cal highly.
Yeah it's been covered on here before. It's more of a thing with graduates of Long Beach Poly than a knock against Cal. Many other NFL Players have done the same.
Bear With Fangs... I've also heard players are not allowed to announce the college they went to on live TV if they didn't graduate from that University. Since he was a true junior when he left, I'd say there is a good chance he doesn't have his degree yet, or if he will even finish. In any case, I thought I would throw that out there, not sure if there is any truth to it...
Hmm, I'm not sure about that actually Nacho. You could be right, but I'm fairly certain there are a good number of players who left early and still introduce themselves from their former colleges.

Really, is that Desean Jackson?!
Yeah, that's one of his long punt returns.
How many copies do you think DJax bought, 1 or 10 million copies. I would lean toward the latter.
Two words. Fat Head.

A little annoying though. Not going to lie.
SI curse coming up?
Not in the last game at least!
No wonder the name sounded familiar during the Philadelphia and NY game.

Again, could be wrong though.
