Dunta Robinson: "I Grew Up A Bulldog Fan..."

Falcon's defensive back, Dunta Robinson attended the University of South Carolina, had a better than average college football career (he was taken 10th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft), and is now a starter on the 11-2 Atlanta Falcons.
He was recently interviewed by The Post and Courier and one of the first things he was asked was how he, an Athens, GA native (Robinson was a three-sport start at Clarke Central High School) ends up playing football at South Carolina.

Said Robinson:

"The University of Georgia never offered me a scholarship. That's how. I grew up a Bulldogs fan. It was the first college team I fell in love with and had they offered me a scholarship, I would have gone there. But coach (Jim) Donnan didn't think I was good enough to play at Georgia. My senior year, they had a player I knew, not even a coach, ask me if I was interested in playing wide receiver. When I said, 'no' I never heard from them again."

Wow, hopefully, the Georgia Bulldogs are a lot better at scouting the local talent now, than they were under Jim Donnan's watch.

DeSean Jackson: Stupid Is As Stupid Does...(VIDEO)

Apparently, DeSean Jackson made the unfortunate error of likening his team to "pit bulls". While the analogy is cool for most, it's ignorant coming from a player wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey—especially considering their quarterback's past experiences.

However, the mental gaffe brought to mind another time when DeSean Jackson failed to use his noggin...



Ahhhh, some guys never learn.

Just catch the football and keep your mouth closed, DeSean. You don't always have to find a shiny light to dance or talk in front of—silence can be golden too.
