The Florida Times-Union said Jones admitted to police the white substance he was found cutting up in his car was cocaine and police tests confirmed it.

... Quick Hits: Jones trouble gives Jags excuse Posted by Brad Gagnon on July 10, 2008 • The arrest of Matt Jones on a felony drug charge gives the Jaguars a perfect excuse to cut ties with the disappointing receiver. Some could argue that the Jags already had rationale for releasing Jones: the fact that he struggled badly last year, falling out of coach Jack Del Rio’s favour and becoming a Sunday inactive on several occasions. The charges might also help explain why Jones never came to be the player many thought he’d be when Jacksonville drafted him in the first round of the ...

... 2) Matt Jones Caught with Cocaine - I don't have much to add to this story. Jones has struggled at times in Jacksonville, having converted from Arkansas QB to NFL WR. When you get picked up at 4:11 a.m. in Arkansas with cocaine in your possession (reportedly cutting it into lines with a credit card, hopefully platinum, not Winn-Dixie), there aren't a lot of good excuses. ...

... and decided he’d be their next star wide receiver. This in spite of the fact Jones was a quarterback. It’s hard to blame the Jags. Had they not taken him, another team would’ve, but there’s no excuse, other than not wanting to fess up to a mistake, for having him on the roster at this point. Not when you consider the fact that Jones has put up worse numbers in his three seasons in Jacksonville than Randy Moss did in the first half of 2007. And not when you consider that he has some heavy drug charges on his plate . We mentioned three questions ago that the Jags need to get ...

Michael Irvin would have been so proud, LOL! We drove to a park and played a sandlot game with some local youths. To our surprise, we were joined by none other than Lawrence Phillips, who dominated for us out of the backfield. After we got pissed at the bratty kids for what we deemed holding, Phillps suggested a wildly original idea to get in our rental car and attempt to ...
