Chad Jackson gives back
Posted by John Tomase at 12:27 pm
Third-year Patriots wide receiver Chad Jackson has taken some heat for not yet living up to his potential as a second-round pick, but he deserves credit for the foundation he has created to help kids in his home state of Alabama.
ABC 33/40 in Birmingham has the video here from over the weekend. It shows Jackson returning to Hoover High School, his alma mater, where he is greeted as a returning hero.
A couple of observations:
1. Jackson is huge. Not in a fat kind of way by any stretch, but in a musclebound, rippling biceps kind of way. I cannot take credit for this line, but a poster at Patsfans.com (where the video first was linked) noted, “He heard we need linebackers.”
2. Jackson sounds more mature. It’s easy to forget that he came to the Pats at the ripe old age of 21 and still had some growing up to do. For whatever it’s worth, in this interview anyway, he sounds like he’s on the right path.
Still not reading it. But that means he reads here? So how weird must that be, to see how many people hate you...
Hopefully "Chad Jackson Gives Back" isn't a euphemism!
But on the Tomasse issue it might be interesting to learn if and when the Herald gets sued (and I'm not expecting that for various reasons - not the least of which is that I don't think the Patriots have any interest in letting lawyers vet the veracity of the Herald/Walsh report) how willing a particpant Tomase was in that story.
No doubt he spoke with his "source" - but its the editor and publisher's call on whether to run an unsubstantiated story at such a critical juncture.
I've even seen situations where reporters as forced to do stories they don't want to do. It's not that uncommon.
So I have to admit I don't know how much responsibility Tomasse bears on that even though his name was the one on the article.
Here you go ladies. Sorry to ruin your little boycott.

thanks for posting the big 'scoop' . My boycott is firmly in tact. I haven't visited the herald web site for anything since the friday before SB, and don't plan to ever again.
It's like boycotting french products...does it make a difference to anyone but myself? ofcourse not, but point is the same
