Football and the popo do not mix

News of three former or current football players hit the news on Thursday. Here's a run down:

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones was arrested early Thursday when the popo approached his car and noticed Matty cutting some white powder with a credit card. Turns out the powder was allegedly cocaine and you know what that kind of action gets you, a felony drug charge. Because there’s nothing I enjoy better at 2 AM in the morning than some sweet, sweet cocaine. Watch out Matt, because the popo are on your tail!

Former Los Angeles Rams kicker Tony Zendejas didn't fare much better after the popo came knocking on his door early Thursday. Zendejas did the old ruffies trick to get his old ass laid, allegedly drugging a female customer at the San Dimas sports bar and then raping her back in January. Tony was charged with rape by the use of drugs, rape of an unconscious person, sodomy by anesthesia or controlled substance and sodomy of an unconscious victim. Oh, they'll love him in prison. Watch out Tony, because the popo are on your tail!

Finally, East Carolina Freshman lineback Max Joyner was suspended indefinitely on Thursday after he was arrested and charged with assault inflicting serious injury. Seems Maxi got into a little fight with an unidentified kid on Stratford Road across from the Clark-LeClair Baseball Stadium on the East Carolina campus. The victim, who was found by the popo lying in the street, indentified his attacker as Mr. Joyner. Two other witnesses corroborated the story. But this isn't the first time Max has gotten in trouble; in January he was arrested for assaulting an Alcohol Law Enforcement Agent. This kid should have been suspended indefinitely for being incredibly stupid. You don't assault the popo, you go to jail for doing that. Or at least get your 15 minutes on an episode of Cops! Watch out Max, because the popo are on your tail!

It's been fun blogging with you,
