When Kickers Attack: Josh Scobee Rips DeSean Jackson on Twitter


Josh Scobee, Jacksonville’s kicker, initially fired off this tweet Sunday night, probably in response to this play. Scobee was quickly inundated with responses, and then continued to go in on Jackson.
It took Jackson a day and half to find out what happened, and then fired off this response (but got Scobee’s handle wrong).
If you’re wondering about the tale of the tape: Jackson is allegedly 5-10, 175-pounds; Scobee is 6-1, 192. It is unlikely these two will be in the same zip code anytime soon. The Eagles don’t play the Jags, and they won’t meet in the Super Bowl. Neither is Pro Bowl-bound. I would find it humorous if the Jaguars signed Jackson in the offseason.

Steve Weatherford popped off about Philly before the first game and now this.

Idiot kicker. He was probably drunk.

Idiot kicker.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:23 PM
i want to see an ESPN 30 for 30 on this fued between Jackson and this other Josh Scobee.
That would be all kinds of awesome if there really was some beef between this other josh scobee and DeSean Jackson.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:23 PM
Cant I hate them both?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:24 PM
TBL, might not be a bad idea to fix the image size on each of those, they are filling the entire column, looks awful.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:24 PM
This is quite the contrast to Nate Jackson vs. Chris Kluwe last year.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:25 PM
Good for you Josh Scobee. Desean Jackson is a piece a shit.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:25 PM
On a side note, that might be the first time DeSean Jackson put something on twitter that I actually understood. I need a decoder ring or something for some of the things he puts out there.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:26 PM
Me too!
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:26 PM

November 22nd, 2011 at 12:26 PM
I can’t imagine anybody would be seriously consider these two throwing down over this.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:27 PM
good point. thanks.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:28 PM
DeSean dropped the “10″ just like he drops the ball before he crosses the goalline.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:28 PM
Idiot kicker, yes. Soon to be grossly overpaid kick returner, too.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:28 PM
I forgot Scobee still kicked for Jacksonville.
Did he lend Mark Brunell some money or something and that’s why he popping off?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:28 PM
shut up, kicker.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:29 PM
I don’t know. I just don’t see the Eagles resigning him. I could be wrong.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:30 PM
Liquored up idiot kicker….
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:31 PM
Someone will. Make sure Paul Holmgren doesn’t go to the same Starbucks as Howie Roseman too.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:31 PM
Don’t think I’ve ever hated a kicker before, but I guess it works here.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:32 PM
Oh also, Jackson IS a punk and his little taunt the other night was ridiculous, but.. how utterly stupid is that rule that the defensive penalty would offset with that one? That the offensive team would be penalized further because the defense had committed a penalty too makes no logical sense to me.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:32 PM
Didn’t Jackson get an unsportsmanlike flag for that?
Any case, Scobee needs to keep his thoughts for himself. It wasn’t his team and it wasn’t his teammates.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:32 PM
Have you never met one Mike Vanderjagt?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 PM
I guess this Twitter thing is here to stay. Pity.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Why doesn’t that surprise me?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Jack Del Rio needs to keep his players from popping off at the mouth on Twitter.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Is this the guy who wound up on IR after he had an axe accident or am I thinking of somebody else?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Kickers should only speak when spoken to.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:34 PM

If Desean will become a grossly overpaid kick returner what does that make Hester?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:34 PM
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Why is everyone hating on Scobee? Is he wrong?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM
I sat Jackson this week and still won in my matchup. Fuck ‘em.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM
A Hall-of-Famer, duh.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM
He should provide them with some sort of outlet — I dunno, maybe like a huge stump in the locker room? And everyone could chop it with an axe when they were feeling saucy.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM
No, Ben Roethlisberger is a piece of shit. A piece of shit who will soon fall victim to the wrath of Carlos Dunlap.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM

A grossly overpaid kick returner
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:35 PM
Before SC begins an avalanche of ill-informed discussion, Jackson doesn’t return kicks. He returns punts.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:36 PM
Everyone hates kickers already. I wonder what the reaction would be if a QB tweeted this
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:36 PM
A grossly overpaid kick returner that’s better at his specialty than DeSean Jackson.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:36 PM
What was wrong with the Jackson’s taunt?
/We won’t tell you when we are concussed but please don’t hurt our feelings with words and gestures

wrong? no. but a kicker talking tough rings as hollow as an internet commenter talking tough.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:37 PM
But has less value to his team, because he’s a below replacemet level receiver as well, whereas Jackson is good.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:37 PM

November 22nd, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Met him? Nope. But really, I don’t think I paid enough attention to him to warrant hate…was he just a drunk?
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Piece on the rise and fall of Mike Vanderjagt for those who can’t get enough of NFL placekickers.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:38 PM
At least he picked on someone in the same weight class though.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:39 PM
I think it was the throwing the ball at an opposing coach that put it over the top

That was a Chris Hanson who did not catch predators.

Ah, the “He ain’t a piece of shit because I know a bigger piece of shit” defense.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:40 PM
i don’t understand what this means.
November 22nd, 2011 at 12:41 PM
technically, neither did THAT chris hanson. he just asked them to have a seat and when they ran, other people cought the predator. he was just the cheese on the rat trap.

We’re deep enough into this thread for me to ask for an off-topic suggestion I think. I’m having a pulled chicken sammich and some soup for lunch. I need potato chip/pretzel or similar salty snack side suggestions to complete the trifecta. Your help is not only appreciated, but necessary.

Because I don’t want to spend $7 on a salad that I could make at home three different times for $3. Plus, the bag of chips/preztels or whatever sits in my bottom drawer for later snacking. You’ve got to think big picture here.

Besides, I used the low sodium chicken broth and only added pepper and garlic to this soup when I made it the other day. It’s crockpot soup season. Gotta have it with lunch every day when it’s cold out.

See CJ? Look at how many veggies are in this soup! Look at those big hunks of carrot, celery and onion. It’s healthy!

Yeah, that’s pretty accurate. After one particularly bad evening, my wife now rations my intake of Old Bay.

I looked for barley in the grocery store but I couldn’t find it. The stockboy I asked was higher than mole and Spencer at the High Times convention. He was unable to locate any barley for me.
Egg noodles were my last resort. Rice in soup is not for me.

Isn’t barley usually by the rice and lentils? I bought some and made a great steak and barley soup a few weeks ago and I think I found it by the rice.

I’m thinking of this differently…Yes, you can deep fry chocolate (in whatever oil)…I was thinking “deep fried IN chocolate” as chocolate replacing the oil.

It was already cooked so it was just for the breading, it was actually quite good. But then I’m a goddamn master in the kitchen and it would be easy to dry out.

November 22nd, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Spencer, I like 99% of what you share but that article is ludicrous.
The Geneva Convention states that you can’t arm vehicles, individuals or shops that are marked with the red cross. The article is a straw man and the assertion that the U.S. Army is being negligent in placing red crosses on vehicles is absurd. And the U.S. Marines don’t mark their vehicles with red crosses because Marines don’t have medics or ambulances, the Navy provides corpsman and chaplains for them and they most certainly are not armed and do wear identifying insignia. The Navy’s two hospital ships are painted white from bow to stern and have prominent red crosses on the sure and when they enter a combat zone they are registered non-combatants.
And not doing something because al Qaeda doesn’t is not a sound reason for anything.
November 23rd, 2011 at 4:31 PM
I agree with the kicker, DeSean Jackson is a punk. In college, he popped off about USC and then SC took care of it on the field. Google “Kevin Ellison hit on Desean Jackson.”
