DeSean Jackson

The Cal alum and current Washington wide receiver is no fan of his former team and had plenty to say about the Eagles during Tuesday nights premiere of his Home Team reality show on BET. I was at the top of the top and then I got released, Jackson said. It was a smear campaign. ... I mean, its their loss. I got a second chance to play in the NFL now with the Washington Redskins and Im proving Im one of the best receivers in the game. Around the time the Eagles released Jackson last year, reports surfaced about his possible affiliation with a gang. Many believe those rumors were planted by the Eagles in an attempt to justify unloading him after he had a career year in Chip Kellys offense. When I was released ... I felt they tried to paint a picture that definitely wasnt true. It was a slap in the face. Thats cold how they did me. He later added, I call myself a Cowboy killer, and a Giant killer. Now Im an Eagles killer.

Jim Harbaugh

The former 49ers coach and new head coach at Michigan was interviewed by ESPNs Colin Cowherd on Wednesday morning, an exchange widely described as awkward and which ended with Cowherd hanging up on Harbaugh. The coach, who parted ways with the 49ers in December after not reaching the playoffs for the first time in four years, played defense for most of the interview, offered little insight and stonewalled Cowherd on a number of open-ended questions such as Is your day much different coaching college versus pro football? Toward the end, Harbaugh criticized Cowherd for firing so many questions at him. That opened the door for Cowherd to vent his frustrations. Youre not giving me a ton to work with, coach, he said. Cowherd then noted that most other coaches from big college programs Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, Steve Sarkisian are happy to sell their programs. Cowherd then cut Harbaugh loose.
