My New Favorite Athlete-Matt Jones. Finally a White Guy...

The events that happened in Fayetteville, Arkansas earlier this morning involved a new hero.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police found him cutting up cocaine with a credit card.

Finally, a white stud athlete gets busted for drugs. I'm so sick of just hearing about black athletes who get caught. Sure, black athletes get involved in more illegal activities (allegedly), but still it makes my day when a white guy gets caught.

As a fellow white athlete, I get excited because Jones’ actions today will gain me respect in Magnolia Projects in New Orleans. I also must applaud ESPN for reporting the news so black sports fans don't cry about the news never reporting on how white athletes get in trouble... unless you're talking about steroids.

I've been a Matt Jones' fan long before he was catching passes at the Jaguars. This might shock you, but all three of the Jags' quarterbacks are black. Some teams haven't had one in the history of their team.

Jones was great was a white QB playing for Arkansas as a both a passer and runner. He also was a solid athlete on the hardwood as well. He was drafted by the Jaguars as a WR because of his 4.3 40 time. That is unheard from a 6'4"  blonde white guy. 

The 25 year-old -- and two other former Arkansas football players -- were inside a Toyota SUV in Fayetteville just after 12:40 a.m. Thursday when officers approached. Officers saw a card covered in a white powder in Jones’ lap as he used a credit card to scrape the cocaine, a police report said.

Officers opened the door and ordered Jones to put his hands in the air. According to the report, Jones kept his left hand out of view, forcing at least one officer to draw his handgun.

Maybe Jones should have hit a couple lines before some games last season. Jags coach Jack Del Rio had become increasingly frustrated with Jones’ demeanor and work ethic, making him inactive for three games.

But really, I don't understand what the big issue about the use of drugs and our athletes.

 Jeff Weaver blows trees with the best of them and Eric Chavez does cocaine all the time too. People need to realize they are like any other big-shot profession (lawyer, stock broker, doctor) wealthy people party big and do drugs. Yes Jones’ should have picked a better time and place, like a Las Vegas Night Club. Now, it's just sad and embarrassing to his family, Jags fans and Arkansas fans.

SO THANK YOU MATT JONES FOR HITTING THE SLOPES HARDER THEN A FAMILY OF FOUR ON VACATION IN ASPEN
