Beer Steak Bullshit

Pro footballer Matt Jones of the Jacksonville Jaguars was caught in his car early this morning, cutting up his cocaine as if it was nothing.

“Jaguar” Matt Jones, 25 was partying in his former college town of Fayetteville this morning and was found by police at 12:40am using his credit card to cut up some cocaine with two buddies, whilst he casually held a straw full of the substance behind his ear like a cigarette. He was ordered to get out of his “gangster” Toyota SUV, but kept one arm in the window causing one police man to almost open fire.

After a search of the car, police discovered a bag chocked with cocaine and a jar with some kind of left over drug residue.

Matt Jones has been officially arrested on cocaine charges although there may have been marijuana present in the vehicle at the time. He two buddies Benjamin Cook, 26, and Jared Hicks, 25 were arrested with misdemeanor possession charges.

The Jaguars owner had nothing of “substance” to say, but looked visually embarrassed. Hey at least it wasn’t steroids, right?

Chad Gerlach had a great career going for him. He was a talented bike racer riding under flag of U.S. Postal Service, but just as his sport career was about to take off, he gave his life to drugs.

The story of Chad Gerlach, how he went form promising American pro racer to homeless bum who’s addicted to drugs was featured on this week’s episode of A&E Intervention.

Parents of Chad Gerlach divorced when he was just eight year old. By the time he was 13 he became a convicted arsonist, setting fire in North California and went to serve his time in jail. His dad got him into bike racing after he got out of jail and it went great for him as he raced for the US Postal Service team.

Sadly enough, he found himself an obsession – crack cocaine. As he became addicted to the drug, Chad Gerlach was kicked out of the US Postal team and other teams he tried to race for. Unable to support himself, he became homeless, living on the street for 18 months. To get $2000 a month he needed to satisfy his crack cocaine addiction, he started pan handling.

Chad Gerlach had potential and wasted it by allowing drugs to take over his life. The excuse that he had a tough childhood is ridiculous. How many other kids had it rough when they were little, yet they don’t go burning shit and smoke crack? Chad still carries on using the divorce of his parents as an excuse. Get a life dude and get that life on track. Quit looking for excuses all the time. Excuses are for the weak. Hang on a second… I’m talking about a drug addict…. Nevermind!
