In a Q & A with MMQB’s Robert Klemko, DeSean Jaccson finally weighed in on Chip Kelly’s firing:

“I’m a firm believer that bad karma comes back on you. When you ruin a team like that, you do things to peoples’ families, you release people, you trade people, you get rid of good players who build something with the community, with the fans, with the kids—to have a guy come in and change up the team like that, I just believe in karma. I don’t have any bad words to say about him as far as what he feels he needs on his roster. But the guys that were on that roster created something special, from Jeremy Maclin to LeSean McCoy to Trent Cole to Todd Herremans and myself and Brandon Boykin; it goes on and on and on. When we were there we were a brotherhood. So for everyone to go their separate ways and to see how it all ended up, it’s a very sad thing.”

Let’s unpack this:

When you ruin a team like that, you do things to peoples’ families, you release people, you trade people…

DeSean is basically ripping Chip and saying the karma backwash will come to him because… he did his job as GM (or whatever title Chip would claim it was). You release people. You trade people. Yes, you do, DeSean, because that’s what happens in the NFL.

You get rid of good players who build something with the community, with the fans, with the kids…

Yeah I don’t think so. DeSean is a childish malcontent whose community involvement consisted of partying, having the cops called to investigate a high-stakes burglary, renting a child Vine star to play in the snow with, and charitable endeavors (mostly throwing lavish parties) that resulted in, according to my digging through the records, no money ever being donated to actual charity. As for McCoy, the other big-name player jettisoned by Chip, his community involvement includes kicking a woman off a party bus, not leaving a tip at a local burger joint, and starting a token charity, the aim of which I, local sports blogger, can’t even tell you. Pillars of the community, those guys.

I don’t have any bad words to say about him as far as what he feels he needs on his roster…

Now, let me say some more bad words:

But the guys that were on that roster created something special, from Jeremy Maclin to LeSean McCoy to Trent Cole to Todd Herremans and myself and Brandon Boykin; it goes on and on and on…

Here’s all the specialness DeSean took part in:

He experienced two playoff victories, in his rookie year, on a 9-6 team that struck gold and had greatness holdovers in Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, Brian Dawkins, Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown. After that, three Wild Card losses, two missed playoffs, and a wretched losing season that got the previous coach fired. Yeah, DeSean, it sure was special.
