This past offseason DeSean Jackson was released by the Eagles and ended up signing with the Redskins as a free agent. His ability to extract retribution played no small part in his ultimate decision of where he would sign.
Boy did he remind us of that on Saturday night. After Washington toppled the Eagles 27-24, the Redskins receiver spent the better part of the evening mocking Philly's loss (which could very much cost them a playoff spot).

And it's not like Jackson didn't know the camera was there either.
Not that it matters -- Jackson took to the podium and lashed out at the Eagles for their defensive coverage, calling the decision to put Bradley Fletcher on island against Jackson "naive."
"Thats how the play. They are very naive," Jackson said. "They play how they play. They could care less who is out there."
Dude is soaking this victory in.
Message for Philly? "They're going home. Bye bye."

Jackson:"Tell them goodnight."

For the season against Philly, Jackson's got 9 catches for 243 yards and a score. Dude plays with a chip on his shoulder.
