In an interview with ESPN The Magazine, the Bills' LeSean McCoy spoke on fractured relationship with Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, admitting that they never really got along. ""The relationship was never really great," he said. "I feel like I always respected him as a coach. I think that's the way he runs his team. He wants the full control." What came after that remark from McCoy is what really caused some controversy.
"You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That's the truth. There's a reason…It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players—the good ones—like that."
McCoy added that he still doesn't get why Kelly decided to let go of DeSean Jackson, who was released by the Eagles after arguably the best season of his career.
Recently, Jackson made an appearance on SportsCenter where the Kelly situation was brought up. For the most part, D-Jax tried to dodge the question, but he did add one, um, interesting remark towards the end. See if you can spot it.
“Honestly, I’m further along than that,” Jackson said, via CrossingBroad.com. “It’s been two years since I’ve been removed from the Philadelphia Eagles. I’m just excited and happy where I’m at. I don’t really want to get too caught up in what’s going on over there in Philadelphia. LeSean McCoy is one of my great friends and he’s a great running back – he’s one of the best in the league – and I look at myself as one of the best receivers in the league. So as far as being removed from there, I can’t understand, why would you get rid of your best players on the team? But it’s their loss. Moving forward, the teams we're with now is the teams that's winning, the teams that’s gaining more of a respect of having them type of guys on the team.”
Did you see it? According to Jackson, the Washington Redskins and Buffalo Bills are winning teams. Hold on, how do we put our feelings about that comment into words? Let's just show you in a GIF...

So, the Bills, who had their first winning record in 10 years last season, is now considered a winning team? And Washington, the team that's 7-25 since their 2012 winning record season, are also considered a winning team?
Meanwhile, the Eagles have had back-to-back 10-6 finishes, but they're not a "winning team"? C'mon, man!
