I can’t imagine, with the WR’s they have, that he will be cut.

Seeing how Goodell does not suspend white players, Matt Jones will get off with a slap on the wrist.

radio420, he didn’t fib to his wife. He got off a felony possession charge (despite doing blow in front of a cop) by being a “star” and agreeing to not do drugs or drink alcohol.

Well after reading the report its he isn’t going to jail for drugs, hes going to jail for having alcohol in his system after he was having some drinks while playing golf. His probation or drug program he is in rules out everything including even alcohol.
Why this is not as bad as coke he is still a dumbass for violating the rules of his probation. When your given second chances to redeem yourself you don’t risk effing them up no matter what reason you have.
I doubt he will get a long suspension based on it not being a banned substance as well as what he used was not the same thing that got him in trouble. That said he did violate his rehab programs rules which will probably cost him time but I dont think it violates 8 game suspension. He didnt have a run in with the law and hasnt had much of a history with the law besides the coke incident. The report states that even though hes in jail it was because he failed a test and the judge gave him a weeks worth of jail time and will be pushing back his progress in the program. This doesn’t spell thug yet but next time, anything at all will most likely put him in that category.

By the look of his mugshot, he got f’ed up again before going to jail. (His only offense I don’t begrudge him for — I’d do the same.)

So basically everyone is calling this guy a loser because he went golfing, fell off the wagon and had a few beers? Wow, thank god I am not a public figure. How many times have you all told your wives and girlfriends you won’t have any beers with your friends today only to get peer pressured into having a few beers? Well Matt Jones girlfriend is the law and he messed up. Doesn’t make him a total freakin loser.

So wait, the people saying he’s a good guy in trouble: he had the chance to go to jail or rehab, and he picked jail (or at least stalled on a decision until the judge decided to send him to jail)?
Yeah, a troubled guy looking to right his way… who refuses treatment and whose dad makes excuses for him.

How in the world could a guy have weighed 241 rock solid at the 2005 NFL combine and then 4 years later weigh 214? Oh right, the coke diet.

You’re the lawyer: doesn’t a probation violation of this kind equate to a guilty verdict of the preceeding charge, felony possession of a class 1 narcotic? Does Roger get to dick around with whiteboy’s troubles and claim this is his “first offense”?
I guess it’s semantics: some jail time, some suspension time, and no chance in hell any team is going to carry him on a roster.

I scheduled a visitation.
On a side note, if these wide receivers and cornerbacks are so fast, how the hell do they get caught by the cops. I’ve outrun cops (allegedly) drunk and with a cigarette still in my mouth.

As long as Leonard Little and Adam Jones are allowed in the NFL, Matt “Coke Zero” Jones should be allowed to stay in the NFL.
Matt Jones may be a drug user, but as far as I know he hasn’t beaten up a woman (or anyone for that matter) or killed another human being. He should definitely have a choice between rehab and a minor suspension or no rehab and a major one. I certainly don’t approve of him being in vehicles when he gets high either. But like I said, he hasn’t killed anyone or beaten anyone up as far as I know. Nothing violent. He isn’t as big a scum bag as a lot of guys in the league.

yah this is too bad. a lot of people are posting some harsh comments. but the majority of reports say this is a good guy and a good teammate. these are the hardest stories to hear. its incredibly easy to call people with drug problems thugs and dirtbags but its obvious matt jones has a problem he can’t control and not enough people were helping him. chances are he was surrounded by hangers on and enablers. surprise surprise! it happened in arkansas again.
very sad. he seems like a decent guy with a dangerous problem.

He’ll be cutting his coke up with a food stamp card this time next year

By: titans_fan

If what happened last year holds true he should be up for a monster season this year. And they’ll probably only suspend him 5 games this time.

Before the 2005 draft, Chris Mortenson said, “Some have warned of “workout” warriors, citing Mike Mamula of Boston College as one who fooled everyone about his NFL potential with gaudy workout numbers. Mamula is a bad example to bring up when talking about Jones, though. For one, I would hardly classify Jones as a workout warrior. He could get out of bed and run 4.4.”
Yes, Mort…he can get out of bed, snort a line, and then run a 4.4. Mort you were correct…Jones is a “freak.”

>>>>>
A reader has forwarded to us this link to the Washington County, Arkansas Sheriff’s office, which shows that a man named Matt Jones, a 25-year-old white male with brown hair and blue who stands six feet and five inches from the ground and weighs 205 pounds and having an address in Jacksonville, Florida, was arrested at 6:21 p.m. CDT for possession of a controlled substance.

Yeah but does the NFL one have hair that’s brown and blue like the dude that got arrested?
