and it's Snorty Jones by a nose

Most people outside J'ville (and it's immediate surroundings) and the state of Arkansas probably didn't even notice.

Matt Jones, first round draft pick a few years ago and perennial disappointment every year since, got caught with his hand in the cocaine jar. When the cops showed up, he was with some friends in an SUV, but it was Matt with a credit card making lines of the stuff. Be that as it may, his dad is saying the drugs weren't his. (Matt isn't talking on the advice of his lawyer.) Does that really matter? He was the one who again couldn't put both hands up upon request, because he was trying to save the coke. Again he was unsuccessful, displaying the same case of the drops he's known for on the field...or so the allegation goes.

Matt was going to have a hard time keeping a Jaguars uniform as it was. This just made it damn near impossible. Maybe it wasn't all that much of an accident. He never really showed a big desire to be here. He never really tried to be part of the community. He never showed much of a desire to be on the team. I'm not sure what it is he really wants to do, but maybe this'll give him a chance to do it.
