ThreeStrikesandOut

I had such high hopes for this guy when he came out of Arkansas.  When he outran every one else at the combine, my second response was, “I hope my team takes a shot on him”.  My first response of course was something like, “DAMN, watch that white boy run!.”  But Matt has failed to develop and he has been on the field for the Jaguars less than the Carl Pavano has pitched for the Yankees.  Okay, that’s a bit much, but use of exaggeration to prove a point is a writer’s prerogative.  Jones’ tenuous career may have hit its final dead end when he was stopped and charged with felony possession of cocaine.  From the ADG:

Jones as well as two other former Arkansas football players, were inside a Toyota 4Runner in Fayetteville just after 12:40 a.m. Thursday when officers approached. In the report, officers allege they saw a card covered in a white powder in Jones’ lap as he used a Foot Locker credit card to scrape it.

Officers opened the door and ordered Jones to put his hands in the air. According to the report, Jones kept his left hand out of view, forcing at least one officer to draw his handgun.

Jones must be struggling if he has a Foot Locker credit card.  Doesn’t he know that it’s easier for athletes to get free shoes than it is for the paparazzi to bed Britney Spears?  Anytime you force the officer to draw his gun, you’ve got to know that your night just got out of hand.  Jones wasn’t by himself; there were a couple of former Razorbacks with him.  Police also found Mary Jane residue along with the white.  All they needed were a couple of strippers and Doogie Howser and they would have had one hell of a party going on.  Plus, there’s no way they get arrested if Doogie was with them.

Because NPH wouldn’t do that.
