http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/12/report-chandler-jones-overdosed-on-pills/ Surprised no one is talking about this...Florio wrote the piece couple hours ago Report: Chandler Jones overdosed on pills Posted by Mike Florio on January 12, 2016, 8:28 PM EST Getty Images The reason for a weekend trip to the hospital by Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones initially wasn’t know. According to Chris Curtis, producer of WEEI’s Dennis & Callahan Show, it now is. Curtis reports, citing unnamed police sources, that Jones overdosed on pills on Saturday night. An ambulance transported Jones to Norwood Hospital. The pills taken by Jones aren’t known. In theory, he could be subject to NFL action if the substance has been banned by the NFL. The medical records generated by the trip to the hospital undoubtedly contained information regarding what Jones ingested. Automatic suspension would arise only if the compound is a PED. For street drugs, an initial violation would result at worst in placement in the league’s substance-abuse program, along with enhanced testing. Multiple violations typically are required before a suspension occurs. UPDATE 8:37 p.m. ET: The report from WEEI initially claimed that the overdose happened at teammate Rob Gronkowski’s house. That tweet has been deleted, replaced by a new one that reiterates the overdose report, but that does not say where it occurred.
In typical Foxboro fashion, information was deleted http://www.bostonherald.com/news/lo...andler_jones_sought_medical_help_early_sunday
Well now we know how Belichick got his black eye. They were all partying at Gronk's house when Jones starting tripping out and tried showing off some of his brother's MMA moves on BB
Some Theories About Bill Belichick's Mysterious Black Eye Patriots head coach Bill Belichick showed up to his press conference this morning sporting a shiner above his left eye. He didn’t bother to explain how he got it, so we’ve come up with a few educated guesses. One of the hobos he regularly murders for sport actually fought back. He was playing catch with Tom Brady with an over-inflated ball. Tom Brady snapped at him when he tried to pull Brady’s face out of a bag of dog treats he left lying around. That’s actually his natural skin color, due to the fact that his dark soul is rotting his body from the inside out, and he just forgot to apply makeup to that spot today. Some weird sex thing. Got scratched by a cat. Pressed his eye onto the eyepiece of the telescope he uses to spy on his neighbors a little too hard.
The real reason Kurt Warner broke his jaw ...fending off mad dog Bellichicken with a stick Looks like pressure of showdown with Chiefs causing substance abuse with players
While blaring "everybody was Kung Fu fighting" in the back round. And of course Belichick was topless...
Has nfl.com buried this? They're quick to report whenever tommy farts, but I don't see this mentioned in their "news" section.
I hate the pats but I hope this dude gets some help. He has a ton of talent and doesn't need to be wasting it slowly turning into a pill head.
That article in the original post is painful to read. Florio is a shit "journalist" if that's what you want to call him. Please proofread your 150 word editorial you fuck. Very convenient that this gets buried though and it's listed about 3/4's of the way down the page on the ESPN app with the headline "Jones has medical emergency." Could you imagine if this was Wilkerson the week before the Bills game?
It's the Patriots. There will be no repercussions. He will suit up in the playoffs and nobody will utter a word.
If he is a first time offender he'll be placed in the drug protocol. If it's 2nd he'll get suspended. If you think him getting to play this week is any different than any other player in the NFL you don't understand the league's rules. Jones' brother has drug issues also. Hopefully they can get straightened out. As far as Gronk goes... apparently live fairly close each other. The thinking is he went to Gronk's house first to try to get some help, but Gronk was in Florida for the weekend visiting his mother.
Was Jones the guy who missed about a month with some mysterious illness this year or was it some other guy? EDIT: Nevermind, it was Collins
