Matt Jones

I’m sure most of you have heard the Grateful Dead song about Casey Jones. It sings about a man driving a train, enjoying the substance Eric Clapton sang so eloquently about. However, in light of the news about Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Matt Jones and his arrest, it seems the Dead were singing about the wrong Jones.

The other Jones, in this case Matt, was arrested early today for what is being listed as possession of controlled substance. Further reports indicate the substance was in fact the subject of both songs I linked to in the above paragraph: cocaine (and marijuana). The receiver was arrested in Washington County, Arkansas, which I’m sure is just great news for a Jacksonville team preparing to begin training camp in a couple of weeks.

In other news, I don’t think being arrested with such cargo the best way to begin your run-up to said training camp, is it?

Ballhype: hype it up! Stumble it!

    [...] a total team until, that is, you look at their wide receiver situation. It’s a combination of the summer adventures of Matt “Foot Locker Card” Jones, Joey Porter’s injury and Dennis Northcutt, who is caught up in some stupidity that could [...]
