Who gives a flip how Jackson celebrates?

I SAY, LET DeSean be DeSean.

As long as the Eagles' second-year wideout doesn't hurt himself, incur a crucial penalty, or inadvertently eject the ball before crossing the goal line, I don't care if he performs the balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet" in the end zone.

I know center Jamaal Jackson was sincere when he went over to No. 10 and voiced his objections to the flip, slide and split after the 64-yard touchdown reception Sunday, but I just can't help but flash back 5 years, when Terrell Owens' post-TD "artistic statements" were just wonderful theater, as far as teammates and fans were concerned. Never saw Jamaal - or anyone else - tell T.O. to cool it. Of course, Jamaal spent the 2004 season on IR, but still.

Maybe the thinking in being concerned about this is that the celebrations are a step along the road to becoming as big a pain in the rear/distraction as T.O. If that really is the case, perhaps an intervention is warranted. (If not an outright exorcism.)
