Andy Reid Blasts NFL Network

There are many stones we can throw at DeSean Jackson, and he deserves to be hit with most of them (figurative), but the whole sideline incident last night was blown way out of proportion by the NFL Network. 

Andy Reid, who was surprisingly not a complete asshole today (he knows he’s done), thought so too:

"Let me tell you something, I had a chance to go over that with Derek. And I’m disappointed in a lot of things – very disappointed in the NFL network… very, very disappointed in the way they portrayed that. And DeSean, I’m going to tell you know, DeSean was all in that game. He had a great attitude during that game, and you can take a camera and make some things look the way you want to make them look, but that kid was all in last night, and I was proud of him for that."

Reid clearly didn’t appreciate the way that Brad Nessler, Mike Mayock, and Cole Hamels-voiced Alex Flanagan portrayed the incident– and he’s right. It was fairly obvious that Vince Young was talking to Riley Cooper, not DeSean, when the C-list broadcast crew alleged that Jackson was ignoring his quarterback.

Video of the sideline encounter and audio of Reid is after the jump.
