Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jamaal Jackson has announced his retirement. After a brief tryout with the New York Giants, the veteran player informed his new coach that his heart wasn't in football anymore. That means that a surprising career came to a quick end. The timing of Jackson's announcement is interesting. He should serve an inspiration to the many late picks and undrafted free agents that the Eagles have in minicamp. As a fan, I always respected Jackson and hope that his career is properly appreciated by those in Philadelphia.

It comes a few months after McCoy called Umenyiora "soft" and Umenyiora responded by oh-so-cleverly calling McCoy "she" and "Lady Gaga." OK, the Lady Gaga crack was lame, but this is some solid trash talk that elevates the discourse. Because McCoy is a man and, by the laws of nature, he can't be a mother! It's a physical impossibility! I want to know how long Osi's been sitting on this joke. Did he wake up this morning and think of it? Or was it something he came up with during last summer's trash-talk battle and had to save for 10 months?
