Yet Michel Phelps is just a kid having fun? (Not saying you said that but still kinda weird and Phelps also has a DUI)..People aren't calling Santonio Holmes a thug, just stupid.

Excellent post!!:upThe thing with Jones is he was just put in the Pre-trial diversion program this past December from his July arrest.
You can debate the original circumstance's, was he using? was he just in the car with someone who had some? or was he holding it for a freind? and whether or not placement in the diversion program and game suspension was appropriate.
It really is unbelievable that it's only March, 4 months later and he's back in the slammer on related charges. The new ones apparently also involve drinking alchohol during a golf outing which is in violation of the diversion program and probation terms.
All he had to do was attend his counseling sessions, keep his nose clean not drink, and not be associated with those who do and he would have been all set.
Thug? not yet, Stupid, Irresponsible, Immature, For sure. Violating the terms earns you stay at the cross bar hotel. Not sympathy because he's a misunderstood athelete.
My intent was like others just posting about rich sports types!! I wanted to see who would attack and who would say it's no biggie! I'm not going to call anyone out but if you look up previous posts about athletes alot of opinion's change on this one!?Judging by the original post, it's evident the OP had a clear intent when starting this thread. He's interpreting the responses the way he wants.
No one said what Matt Jones was "ok." I said a drug violation is not the same as murder or rape, but I didn't say it was "ok" either. Big difference.
Let's just wait and see how the commissioner handles this!? Just like Jason Garret of the Cowboy's getting fined and suspended i think six games because he used a substance to help him bond with his wife. Then you have another coach who cheats and get's a very small fine and a slap on the wrist!?He is a loser that should be in jail. THUG? I don't know maybe... I would have to hear more about his behavior. Does he beat people with chairs like Iverson? Thats a thug, black or white.
Yes but this is the kind of post's here all of the time. Why stop on this one?This comment isn't really necessary either... the crimes make the news but not all the charity work that comes as a result of NFL players joining their communities and giving back to them. Far more good comes from this than the 'bad' that comes from the few that make the news.
This thread is fairly absurd.
Oh, I get it, it's some sort of social experiment. When is the term paper due?My intent was like others just posting about rich sports types!! I wanted to see who would attack and who would say it's no biggie! I'm not going to call anyone out but if you look up previous posts about athletes alot of opinion's change on this one!?
There you go!! Make a joke out of it!:up This is a major problem in our country and his actions should not be taken lightly!! DUI and Coke head what a great role model! Oh and yes you are right LOCK HIM UP!:upMatt admitted to the court that he drank a couple of beers while playing golf last week with a friend! Wow...what a complete f-up LOCK HIM UP! I hope he wasn't smoking cigarettes too!
Well yea and this is my point. Not attacking V but see this kind of stuff all the time? V is at least consistent!:upfor something he did almost 20 years ago? So now he is a thug for life?

Yea i guess so!"Lock him up" for drinking a beer while at a golf outing?! Oh forget it.... why am I even responding to this.
You don't have to write a paper.. Just funny how opinion's change! You would have failed anyway!Oh, I get it, it's some sort of social experiment. When is the term paper due?
Who the hell is V, why aren't you attacking them, and why are they consistent?Well yea and this is my point. Not attacking V but see this kind of stuff all the time? V is at least consistent!:up
I didn't read a single post here absolving Jones over what he did. Everyone seemed to say he deserves whatever punishment he will get. Which athletes are you referring to in these "previous posts"??My intent was like others just posting about rich sports types!! I wanted to see who would attack and who would say it's no biggie! I'm not going to call anyone out but if you look up previous posts about athletes alot of opinion's change on this one!?
A lot of guy's F up! Yet they get talked about here.. Why should this be different? I don't have it out for him. So you answered it best it just depends on the guy getting into trouble i guess.. Oh yea and this thread is stupid. Yet i keep hearing it's stupid and not that big of a deal?This thread is stupid. So what the guy f***ed up. No one's excusing it, but the title of the thread made it sound like he was OJ or something. BlackHitachi's got it out for him like Matt Jones stole something from him. And this guy's not even a great player anyway. When Tom Brady or Peyton Manning get locked up for something I'll be interested, not over this.
"V" is Vurbano. He is a good guy but has no time for people who mess up! I will say this he is very consistent when it comes to this kind of stuff. He does not care who or what they are.. Drugs and booze are all the same to him.. If there are rules against.. You get caught you should get into trouble.Who the hell is V, why aren't you attacking them, and why are they consistent?

Dude's an addict. Get him to rehab. He has a problem. Calling him "scum of the Earth" is a little harsh though.
