madd futher mucker 36 Posted March 10, 2009 Freaking dumbass should have kept his mouth shut, unless they caught him drunk or something. He was called in for a random test for drugs or alcohol as part of his parole. He tested positive for alcohol. What's he gonna do, blame it on cough medicine? He admitted to drinking at a golf outing the previous day. Yes he'll probably get suspended for a few more games this year, but this isn't like a DUI, or a police stop.

Lost our jobs for drinking at a golf outing? I downed a few Sunday afternoon myself. Good thing I'm self employed. That damn 19th hole thing. Sounds like the unemployment rate could skyrocket. I'm guessing 3-4 games suspended though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 16, 2009 Add "Officially unemployed" to that list. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3984684 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars waived receiver Matt Jones on Monday, parting ways with the former first-round draft pick just days after his latest arrest. Jones was jailed last week in Arkansas for violating a plea agreement that stemmed from a drug charge in 2008. The 6-foot-6 Jones, a former star quarterback at Arkansas, is awaiting an April 13 court appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigunreal1 0 Posted March 17, 2009 Let's see, Matt Jones has never been charged with any violent act. He "violated" his parole by volunteering the information that he'd drank beer the previous day while golfing. Like a good soldier, he willingly spends the weekend in jail for this "crime," for the sole purpose of showing the team he's committed to attending offseason workouts. His reward from the Jaguars- instant release. Brandon Marshall has had a number of arrests for more serious, violent offenses. In the past year or so, there have been numerous 911 calls to his residence. He had his suspension from last season reduced to ONE game for no logical reason by "hard liner" Goodell. Meanwhile, a punter whose only "offense" was allegedly getting into a shouting match with a cab driver was suspended for FOUR games. Pac Man Jones has committed enough violent crimes that, if he were anything other than a professional athlete, he'd be serving a very, very long prison sentence. He still continues to find work, and the authorities still refuse to try him for the shooting in Las Vegas. Chris Henry was another repeat offender, charged with violent acts on a regular basis. He was inexplicably welcomed back by the league's top employer of thugs- the Bengals. Michael Vick will be fought over by numerous teams when he's cleared to play again, which he will be by "hard liner" Goodell. I could go on, but I think you get my point. Matt Jones had a single drug possession charge against him, and has already been suspended for longer than the career criminal Brandon Marshall. Fellow Jaguar WR Reggie Williams has had a far more serious legal matter during the offseason. Uh, why didn't the Jags immediately cut him? Browns' WR Donte Stallworth apparently ran over and killed a pedestrian over the weekend, in order to beat a red light. Why haven't the Browns immediately cut him for what is a far, far more serious crime than drinking a beer while golfing? The NFL is a complete joke. The inconsistent manner in which these various cases (and there are many other examples I could cite) have been dealt with should make everyone question what's going on in this league.

The inconsistent manner in which these various cases (and there are many other examples I could cite) have been dealt with should make everyone question what's going on in this league. How is this inconsistent of the NFL? He was not suspended under the personal conduct policy but under the substance abuse policy. There are pretty set guidelines and he was given what he deserved for violating that policy. He has subsequently been released by his team (not the NFL) because of his off the field issues...that, and he simply is not that good. The Browns have not done anything with Stallworth yet because we don't even know the facts of the thing yet. And as bad as Pacman is...he has not been convicted of a thing...and served his suspension. The authorities refuse to charge him because they don't have the evidence to do so. Vick may be sought after again...but again, after serving his time in jail plus any suspension the NFL may give him. Quit your crying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The inconsistent manner in which these various cases (and there are many other examples I could cite) have been dealt with should make everyone question what's going on in this league. Your complaint should be with the CBA and not the NFL teams. Those situations were dealt with as agreed to in the latest CBA. Teams have greater ability to suspend players for substance abuse than they do for violent crimes. The NFLPA wants it that way. If you have a gripe, then make it with the NFLPA.
