The Week That Was in Football
Matt Jones arrested: I didn’t know that Matt Jones was just your everyday NFL player/ cocaine user until he was arrested on Thursday morning when police found him cutting up cocaine with a credit card.
The Jaguars put a lot of money towards the 25 year old just a few years ago when they drafted him out of Arkansas to play wide receiver. Jones, a quarterback in college, learned the position quickly.
Now his entire career is up in the air as the police investigate what happened on Thursday morning.
I don’t know why a lot of athletes put themselves in situations like this. They are getting paid a ton of money but they can’t seem to handle the responsibility that comes with it.
Terrence Kiel dies in car crash: San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was thrown from his sedan when he hit a wall after leaving a party last Friday night. It’s terrible that this happened and Kiel was a good football player that will be missed by many.
And then there’s that Favre guy: Is he coming back? Favre texts Ted Thompson but the Packers GM is on vacation and doesn’t want to discuss Favre’s “itch” to play. I’ve said enough about this already for a week.
OT Michael Oher (Ole Miss)
WR Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech)*
LB James Laurinaitis (OSU)
LB Ray Maualuga (USC)
DE George Selvie (South Florida)
CB Vontae Davis (Illinois)
Some Jaguar fans would argue that Matt Jones never learned his position. And by “some Jaguar fans” I mean me.
He was slowly developing. QB to WR is a tough swap.
Matt Jones was an Arkansas Hog, that should explain some of it
My buddy that knows him and has hung out with him has said that this guy likes to party more than your average Joe. I love how he is saying that it wasn’t his and his Dad is defending him. My question is why was he even around it?
