Clayton: Chris Simms, Matt Jones to Dallas?

[silverbear]

Chris Simms is a dufas.

No, he's not...

I know, because I've never seen him at any of the meetings...

 

[alancdc]

Just what we need....A receiver doing coke in his car.

 

[tunahelper]

White dude deep south - Matt Jones snorts coke caught/arrested and its a no biggie

Then the Dallas fandom wants the guy - I dub it the Amendela complex!

Looks like a trial is set. Maybe Jesse Jackson needs a helper.

Ah,,,,,,is Matt Jones going to prison?

He's a professional athlete from Ark....so no :laugh2:

 

[Sarge]

Yep, that song is now in my dome.

That song has a place in the WORST song ever thread I do believe.

 

[Zaxor]

Hey Zaxor --where you been

Sadly I have to work once in awhile too my friend or no money comes in

 

[big dog cowboy]

He's a professional athlete from Ark....so no :laugh2:

I see what you did there.

 

[Yeagermeister]

I see what you did there.

He played at Ark and was caught in Ark...take it for what it's worth.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

I don't know about Matt Jones but the rumor is he's doing very well and is being mentioned as their number 1 WR. Supposedly his best camp ever. There is something going on with the drug issue. I've heard that allegedly the coke wasn't his and apparently there may be some truth to that. All RUMORS though. He looked good against Washington but I didn't watch the whole game.

they found him separating the coke with his credit card.....just like how when irvin got pulled over and the pipe wasn't his....its all to obvious that these football players live above the law why would anyone expect anything to happen to him.

 

[CactusCowboy]

Jones would be a great pickup, love the guy and remember, he is from Arkansas! He could be the next Lance Rentzel........

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Yeah Dallas really wants another cocaine cowboy...

 

[dogberry]

Didn't Rentzel go to school at Casady in The Village (OK)? Wik says he born in Flushing, NY.

Lance Allworth maybe?

I like them both, and thought Rentzel got a bum deal.

Rentzel was caught flashing an 11 year old girl and got shipped out of town to continue playing football for another team (the LA Rams). He got off without doing any jail time and no real stigma was attached to him. And he got shipped to LA where he would be closer to his Hollywood wife Joey Heatherton.

How exactly is that a bum deal?

 

[dogberry]

My understanding was that Rentzel was urinating while intoxicated (a common occurrence among drinkers, I've been lead to believe). The act by Rentzel had no evil intent. It is a cautionary tale about consequences of demon rum though.

Even so, he did it in front of an 11 year old girl...that will get you jail time and a sign in your front yard now-days. It was an Image problem for the Cowboys and they shipped him out. Same reason they shipped out John Niland when he went nuts running down the street knocking on doors and babbling about religion. In those days the Cowboys were Image Conscious and it was the Raiders that took in all of the Tank Johnson and Pacman Jones types.

I guess you hated Irvin and the rest of the white house members. Who cares who snorts what, as long as they help us win.

I don't agree with that statement - thats on you
And Jones can't help us win

Bucs QB Simms counting on release
By Rick Stroud, Times Staff Writer
In print: Saturday, August 30, 2008


TAMPA — Chris Simms doesn't just believe he has played his last game in a Bucs uniform — he is counting on it.

The catastrophic injuries to quarterbacks around the league never materialized. Tampa Bay is not going to pay a $2-million premium for a left-handed insurance policy.

By 6 p.m. today, when teams trim rosters from 75 to 53 players, Simms hopes to be released and fielding calls from the Cowboys or Packers.

"I don't think I'm going to be here. I think that's the writing on the wall, and that's what I'm prepared for," Simms said. "If I end up here? Great. My family and I love being here; we love living here. I love playing for this team.

"But I've been around the NFL long enough to know the situation, and I think most likely when (today) comes, I will be released and we'll go our separate ways. But it was a great run."

It's possible the Bucs could keep five quarterbacks on the roster until early next week. An extra spot is created when tight end Jerramy Stevens goes on the suspended list for two games. But the team must decide what to do with fifth-round pick Josh Johnson, who might not clear waivers if it tries to sneak him onto the practice squad.

Simms, 28, says he at least proved to other teams he is healthy. He appeared in three preseason games, going 19-of-30 for 155 yards with no touchdowns and an interception.

"I'm sure it (helps)," Simms said. "I got to throw the ball down the field twice (Thursday). At least they can see I'm healthy and can take hits. I moved around okay when I had to. I got to at least show a little bit of everything in the preseason so they could see, okay, he can play."

The Bucs have tough decisions to make today, particularly at defensive back and receiver.

Elbert Mack, an undrafted rookie cornerback from Troy, made his case for a spot ahead of veteran Eugene Wilson. If he gets released today, he hopes he did enough to be claimed by another team.

"One of the first things I did when I walked off the field (Thursday) was thank the coaches," Mack said. "I thanked them for bringing me in and giving me a chance to compete.

"You never know what other teams are looking for. Hopefully, I'll be a Buccaneer. If not, it's one of those things where you have to keep pushing and fighting."

At receiver, Brian Clark, Micheal Spurlock and Cortez Hankton face long odds. At linebacker, veteran Ryan Nece could be replaced by Matt McCoy or rookie Geno Hayes. On the defensive line, Greg Peterson, rookie Dre Moore, Charles Bennett and recently signed Patrick Chukwurah might be vulnerable.

"I think I showed the team the real me," Moore said. "I'm a quiet, humble dude who goes in and does the job. … I would've liked to have made a few more plays, but I think I did all right."

Simms might be the only player hoping to be cut. But he will leave with mixed emotions.

"It'll always be a special place for me," Simms said of Tampa Bay. "Who knows? It's a crazy league. Who's to say I won't be back here in a couple years? Warrick Dunn did it. You never know."

Your honor,
I rest my case
