DeSean Jackson is "The Man"


In season fraught with more scandals from players in all the sports, Brett Favre of the NFL. The spoiled brat antics of Randy Moss its nice to see some one from the pro ranks step be the man and knock one out of the park.

This week in a show called The View, they teamed up with Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson and hit the big grand slam.

Earlier this week they had a segment about school yard bullies. The featured guest was a 13 year old boy, Nadin Khoury. Khoury came to the national spot light when videos of the boy being bullied by 7 or so older boys became public. It appears the bullies had plenty of ego and no brains, Of course if they had brains they would not be bullies, these airheads in an effort to promote themselves as legends, posted their cowardly acts on YouTube.

Young Mr. Khoury agreed to appear with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters and the rest of the ladies in The View to promote more awareness to the problem of school yard bullies.

The show did its homework and found out Nadin is a Philadelphia Eagles fan and that his favorite player is DeSean Jackson. The show obviously contacted Mr. Jackson and told him about his big fan and the courage this kid had to come on national television and stand up to the kids and bullies in general. I do believe the Nadin Khoury earned the respect of many and gleaned a few fans of his own, including DeSean Jackson and two of his teammates.

Jackson sat next to Nadin and literally took the jersey off of his back and gave it to the kid then signed if for him. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house and certainly not in my house. DeSean Jackson is the man and proves once again the old adage, never does a man stand so tall as when he bends down to help another.
