Matt Jones ... hero

First of all, I'll be blogging more often. That's a threat promise. I'm motivated to get back into it, plus my boss is forcing me. That's a joke. Which part is the joke? You figure it out.

Second, Matt Jones is my new hero. He's my hero because he reminds me and all of us that the wide receiver position, known for its insufferable prima donnas, isn't as infected as we all want to believe. I mean, Chad Johnson is no treasure. Neither are Terrell Owens, Plaxico Burress and Jerry Porter.

But they're not criminals. They're just jerks.

Matt Jones reminds us that, in the grand scheme of things, a person can do worse than be a jerk. He can snort his underachieving career away. Allegedly.

Doyel is the poster child for everything that is wrong with sports media today. He has taken what PTI rehashed for sports (it might surprise some that Wilbon and Kornheiser weren't the first to disagree on television) and made it mind numbing. His blogs/articles all use the same shell: take an unpopular position, throw out a few barbs at the establishment, and be sure to steal popular catch phrases from others (allegedly). Is this really a 'talent' that needs to be employed by cbs? Someone who throws his peers under the bus doesn't deserve any respect, much less a national platform. Like it or not Doyel, you are media. All that separates you from the other media you often like to bash is that you are not only bad at your job, your incompetence somehow gets you readers who, like you, have an external locus of control and need to blame others for everything that is wrong in their life. Pathetic.

When Pacman Jones covered Matt Jones, were weathermen across the country perplexed wondering whether it would rain or snow?

The media is hard on Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens. You would think Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens has done worse in their career than Matt Jones when actually they've been good at keeping themselves out of legal trouble and hard workers.
If you're going to start blogging more try one positive blog. It seems like I'm reading something a grinch would write. (Ba Humba)

Krum,
Do we REALLY have to drag RACE into the discussion? Stupidity crosses all color barriers. There are stoners and boozers of every size, color and country of origin. It doesn't matter if you are Matt Jones or Pacman Jones, A pro wrestler or a Bulgarian weight lifter.  Even Judy Garland was a drug addict...and her little dog too!

I guess we aren't in Kansas anymore Toto.

Maybe he thought all those white lines on the football field were lines of cocaine. That will explain why he was too slow (sucked) as an NFL WR.

Soooo-weeee-SNORT!

And it couldn't have been all that good of a snort if he's chopping the stuff up with a credit card.  I can already see marketing departments spinning their wheels: "For the fine Cali stuff, there's quatro titanium blades.  For everything else, there's CocaCard.

Hehe, you are so macabre and twisted. And I mean it as a compliment.
