In some dissapointing news, the one-time U of A goldenboy, Matt Jones has been arrested on a felony posession of cocaine.
Yup, it looks like the former U of A quarterback’s glory days are over. His smiling, happy face is now up on the Washington County Intake Report.
First Coast News is reporting that Jones and two other dudes were sitting in a Toyota 4Runner in an unlit parking lot early this morning when the Fayetteville smokies 5-0 came along and found cocaine in the truck and on Jones’ hand. Classy.
Anyway, from what I’ve been reading, Jones’ future at Jacksonville has been uncertain. I don’t think this will do much to help him secure a spot on the roster. We’ll see…

Damn, that is dissapointing. If you’re going to be busted for Yayoo it should be while you’re snorting it off a stripper’s ass in a penthouse motel in Vegas, with two bi-sexual nymphomaniacs on a three-day coke binge. Not with two dumpy white guys in a pakred car in an ally in Fayettenam. Sheezz. That’s so un-Matt Jones.
(fyi. A “smokie” is a slang term for a state trooper - because of the hat - not a local cop, yes I realize I’m a douche for bringing this up)

El Dookie - I agree with everything you just said.
I don’t want to misuse cb radio terms incorrectly. How’s “5-0″ work for you? I almost went with “bubble gun machine” but thought “5-0″ sounded a little smoother.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for NFL players to stay out of jail! (This coming from the girl who lives in Cincy, where a Bengals player gets picked up about once per week)
Poor, coke-head Football Jones!! *shedding tear*

He’s screwed. For the first time in my life, I think it’s safe to say “Sucks to be Matt Jones.”

Someone’s about to hit the national FCA circuit, eh? Totally agree with the Steve, too.

The arrest report says he had 6 grams on him…I want to party with Matt Jones.
July 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
@bryce. For legal reasons, we are not linking to the arrest report. thanks.
July 10th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Good for you Bryce!

He probably never fully got over fumbling like a total douche bag at the end of the Texas game. I mean all he had to do was fall over…we kick the field goal…game over. Not that I’m holding a grudge or anything.
Here’s an idea. If you’ve got NFL size cheez in your pocket…Pay someone to go get it for you!

OOOOOOOps! Matt, Matt, Matt. Not a wise choice. The fine folks at the new Chick Fil A on 6th street are disappointed, no doubt. Maybe he could wait a few years and publish a memoir. Possible title: “Jonesin’ for Ball and Blow.”

We need a Coody-Piece. now that he is running fro re-elxn
Just sayin.
Oh, and Matt Jones will get to know Mary Ann Gunn pretty well over the next year or so I imagine.
I say let her give him a tongue lashing on Cable Access. It will be DVR’d and YouTubed and that is punishment enough.

Totalbastard: You’re right. We are lagging. Coody announced yesterday he was “so energized and fired up” that he just had to run again even though he already said he wouldn’t.
Also, you are onto something here with the Cable Access drug court thing. I figure if they put Matt Jones on that show, Fayetteville could have Christmas lights and fireworks for the next 50 years just from the ad sales they’d generate in that one show. Phew!

Cable Access Drug Court starring Mary Ann Gunn is a favorite among the stay home, get stoned, and watch ironic, obscure local television crowd.
Or so I’ve heard…
An episode featuring Matt Jones could be sold PPV.
If you’ve never watched Drug Court, you are missing out on our very own local Jerry Springer meets Cops, feel-good-about-yourself-via-pitying-these-crunked-up-low-lifes…show.

The popo report said they observed Jones snorting while he was inside his car. I thought all NFL players drove black Escaldes with black tinted windows. This sounds like a set up to me. You know the Fayetteville popos live to bust UA athletes on trumped up charges.
July 12th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Hum…
I thought the Fayetteville popo lived for gay sex soliticitation stings at Lake Fayetteville and Finger Park.
