"After being more tap dancer than NFL running back Sunday against Miami, Brandon Jacobs attributed the old adage — "If you don't want to say something good, don't say it at all" — to his mother.
Unfortunately, Jacobs' mom didn't have a conversation with Dan Dierdorf or Howard Cross , prior to her son's disappearing act at PSL Stadium. Just so there's no confusion, this is the same Jacobs who has complained very publicly about not carrying the football enough. Jacobs returned to the field Sunday after missing two games with a sprained MCL."
