Black Entertainment Television (BET) released their new television shows for 2015 today, and there will be some shows in the new schedule that will resonate with a Philadelphia audience. Highlighting the schedule will be a reboot of MTV's "Punk'd", that will be "tailored for a BET audience. The second show is a story based around a star basketball player at Overbrook High School in Philadelphia. Finally, former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson will get his own reality television show.
The entertainment website Variety reports "DeSean Jackson: Home Team" will debut on the network:
“DeSean Jackson is at the top of his game as one of the most talked about and watched players in the NFL today. That means eyes are always on him — waiting for him to score touchdowns and waiting for him to drop the ball off the field. Even though he has the money and the fame, DeSean’s life is actually run by a core group of women including his “momager” Gayle, his sister and assistant A’Dreea, his publicist Denise and his new girlfriend, Kayla. Produced by Rogue Atlas Productions in association with Lionsgate Television. Eli Frankel, Ryan Holcomb, Elise Duran, DeSean Jackson and Byron Jackson serve as executive producers. Jay Fragus and Lawrence Bell serve as co-executive producers.”
One must wonder how those women influenced Jackson's relationship with Chip Kelly.
So far there is no word as to when "De Sean Jackson: Home Team" will air.
