Yooper Fan,

You may very well be right. I hope not.

We have to remember, these kids are....well...kids. They have getting their balls rubbed most of their lives and don't know to react when they are not getting all the accolades.

As Nerd, and others have pointed out, he has great physical skills. I am hoping he hit bottom psychologically and has re-committed himself. I hope it is seashells and balloons from here.

At this point I don't have any faith that Jones is going to all of a sudden going to amount to anything useful to the Green Bay Packers.
I believe that he will be cut at the end of training camp, he might make it to the end of pre season but he will not make the 53.

I think the whole trade me stuff has turned some fans against him. Would you really think its time to move on had he not asked to be traded and soured your opinion of him? Fans have held out hope that lesser players would finally amount to something for longer.

This would be a nonstory if it was anyone else

On the other hand, with MLF being a young first year HC, it is worth noting his attitude and attempts at discipline regardless of the player. He's not putting up with players who don't follow his rules. Would he have sat Amos or Alexander for the same thing? I would hope so.

Pettine had zero tollerance rule when it comes to fighting.

He benched Jones for the rest of practice.

I guess he considered what Jones did was fighting, or was going to lead to a fight.

Hopefully Jones realizes that the better he shows on camp, the easier it will be to trade him, or he comes to his senses and devides he wants to stay.

Good point Porky.
Glad to see the players will know that there will be consequences to their actions.

Has Jones been back? I heard a rumor he might be sulking.

Most things I've read state it was LeFleur that sat him down. And from what I gathered, it is a rule of LaFleur that any fight or incident like Jones will result in the player sitting out the rest of practice. McCarthy (I thought) said those little blowups were okay.

Then again, LaFleur said he had to watch the tape because he didn't get a good look of what happened prior to Jones leveling Carson. So I dunno.

beast (52m) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (17h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (18h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
