DeSean Jackson and Wile E. Coyote

Now that was interesting. According to reports, Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver DeSean Jackson had his home burglarized while he was away. Well, OK. Stuff happens.

But this wasn't your ordinary burglary. It seem the robbers made off with $250,000 in cash, another $125,000 worth of jewelry, and a couple of semi-automatic handguns. Per the same report, this involved three safes that were in Jackson's house. One was stolen entirely, and the other two were broken into.

This raises a few common sense questions.

Again, it's understandable someone would have a couple guns in their house to protect themselves if need be, and a guy like Jackson having $125,000 worth of bling lying around isn't totally outrageous.

But what kind of fool keeps a quarter million dollars worth of cash in their house? How many pizzas and Girl Scout cookies did this guy plan on having delivered?

Ah, but let's remember the report says all this wasn't just lying around. It was kept in three safes. But if the thieves were able to steal one entire safe and break into the other two -- my question would be -- just exactly where did he buy these safes from? The same place Wile E. Coyote used to purchase his Acme kits in pursuit of the Roadrunner? How did all those work out?

Good grief. Jackson recently signed a 5-year deal with the Eagles for about $47 million. Fifteen million guaranteed and ten million up front. That's a whole lot of money.

One would think he'd have the common sense to spend a little more chump change to buy secure safes. Evidently not. And why 3 safes anyway? Further, how did the burglar(s) know where to find them all? Wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to invest a few thousand more measly bucks and get one big safe that couldn't be broken into, much less stolen? Such products are definitely available. One gets what they pay for.

So here's wishing DeSean Jackson all the best in his future with the Philadelphia Eagles. He's quite the amazing athlete. DJ have moves like wild rabbit. DJ run like cheetah. DJ catch passes like Hollywood starlet. DJ tough like editor.

Alas, when it comes to the simplest of things, evidently....

DJ think like brick.
