Watching the Jones: Dazed & Confused

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Public disclosure laws are a really good thing. But (and this is not my area of expertise) it really feels like for the most part they are used for salacious stories because the stuff for which we, as a nation, really could use some actual transparency all can be shielded with various exceptions.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

So with information we have now, most likely scenarios:

Jones- Bad ambien reaction puts him in "zombie" state where he walks through Walgreens. Picked up by cops and sent to the hospital with no charges for anything. Wakes up, feels fine and is released.

Gronk- In Florida so has nothing to do with Jones' bad trip. Given maintenance day for full pads practice as a precaution coincidentally as this all comes out.

Belichick- motorboating accident (?)

That sound about right?

I could see a black-eye occurring from motor boating here for sure

That second sentence "Due" to "regard" is a doozy

Perfect ... although the judges also would have accepted "Thanks, Mencia"

Was just on r/patriots and someone had posted this screenshot, which seems to jive with alot of what is being said now. Grain of salt etc.

Apologizes. The thread is/was moving at 99 mph and I've had trouble keeping up. Didn't mean any offense and I love boobs so I couldn't help myself.

 

[tims4wins]

C'mon, at least look at the previous page @weeba

Wow. That was an amazing ten pages. Well done, everyone!

And Ambien sounds awful.

“@MarkDanielsPJ: Update from the NFL: They are aware of the Chandler Jones situation and will review it.”

Oh goody. I fully expect they'll suspend him for Saturday.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Oh goody. I fully expect they'll suspend him for Saturday.

As well as Belchick, Gronk and Kevin Faulk

 

[Jimbodandy]

Least surprising update ever. Miracle that they said "review" and not "investigate" really.

 

[DJnVa]

Oh goody. I fully expect they'll suspend him for Saturday.

It's the NFL--Troy Vincent will issue statement that says that Chandler Jones will not be allowed to play on Sunday then claim that no one had any knowledge of a calendar.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

The league investigating a minor situation whose impetus was possible inaccurate reporting and jumping to conclusions. What could go wrong?

This post made my eye twitch.

Strong work.

FWIW, a close friend of mine works for an agent. I asked him what he has heard, and he said laced weed, and no suspension, but Jones will end up in the drug program. If the dispatcher talking about a class D substance is true, this would seem to be a possible answer.

 

[Corsi]

Gasper:

Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones had a bad reaction to a substance he put into his body on Sunday, a source familiar with the situation told the Globe.

The source was adamant that Jones did not overdose on a drug such as cocaine or heroin. The source said Jones lives near the Foxborough police station, and he walked there to seek help after he had the bad reaction.

The source added that Jones was at the Patriots facility lifting weights at 6:30 .am. Monday.

 

[thestardawg]

And obviously BB's black eye happened when Gronk spiked Chandler's bong which bounced off the ground and hit BB in the eye.

Rob Gronkowski was not involved in the Jones' situation in any way. Gronk missed practice Mon. as a precaution due to a very minor ailment.

 

[Leather]

More probable than not!

And hypothetically, if Chandler Jones' actions went into this area, I was told any suspension would take several weeks.

Believe it if you want Sheeple. Only the extremely naïve believe it's a coincidence. Follow the money. Listen to the smoking man. The truth is out there.

What area?

So does this mean we back to Synthetic Weedville?

What area?

Walgreens' pharmacy pickup line.

 

[soxhop411]

Under NFL's personal conduct policy, teams must disclose any possible violations. Inc illegal use drugs &/or PEDs

 

[SoxinSeattle]

Laced weed always makes me laugh. Weed isn't ever just randomly "laced". If it's laced the smoker laced it. What would be the benefit of a dealer spending money to secretly lace the weed he sells with other drugs? I'm convinced the urban legend of "laced" weed is perpetuated by people that got so fucking high they're convinced it was more than just weed.

 

[CantKeepmedown]

So was this just a wake & bake situation for Chandler?

Nothing better than that first high of the day.

It's not impacting Saturday, or the player.

Now if the team was obligated to report anything and didn't -- IF -- then that's stupid. Have to know they are under a microscope.

I've had this confirmed on Chandler Jones. We're not talking about a drug that was prescribed by a pharmacist or team medical personnel.

He also said in his report in the Globe it wasn't coke or heroin, so weed, molly, or herbal viagra?

Source with knowledge of the situation confirms it was synthetic marijuana that caused Chandler Jones' bad reaction and hospitalization.

Back in my stoner days a group of us were at the hemp fest at Boston Common. We ran out of our own stuff, and bought hydro of a midget playing bongos. We all started hallucinating, one friend decided to lay down on the red line floor... During rush hour. It is very real

Already did today...according to source CJ said "tons of adderol and weed".

 

[E5 Yaz]

Poor Chandler Jones ... outed by Nomar's bench buddy

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Is adderol a PED?

 

[RedOctober3829]

It doesn't affect his playing status for the next 3 games so as far as I'm concerned let's move on to KC.

 

[Zincman]

Maybe, but it still sounds like an Ambien thing to me. Was taking Ambien for a while until one morning I woke up and there was a pile of corn flakes next to my bed. I turned to my wife and asked her if she knew how this had come to pass. She said she was awakened in the middle of the night to the sight of me mindlessly stuffing corn flakes into my mouth at a rapid rate. She said "Are you OK?" and I said "Yeh, yeh, yeh etc" about fifty times.

I have absolutely no recollection of it happening and it scared the shit out of me. Never again has Ambien entered the household.

But my final point is that it is such a readily "accepted" drug that getting one from a friend, for example, is pretty common practice, I would think.
