MORE STORM CLOUDS FOR RAIN MAN
At a time when an increasing number of league insiders believe that the NFL and the NFLPA will come together, and come down hard, on Titans cornerback Rain Man Jones based on his alleged involvement in a strip club melee on February 18, the news is only getting worse for Jones.
WTVF-TV in Nashville has obtained taped conversations of Darryl Moore, a convicted drug dealer and acquaintance/friend of Jones. Moore's comments reveal a level of familiarity with Jones, and with his behavior, that is alarming but hardly surprising.
Moore's comments include the following:
1. "We gotta slow down, man. We gotta get him focused on football, man. He's focused on too much other sh-t."
2. "You know, I was talkin' to him the other day about smokin', and he was like man, if I didn't smoke I couldn't take all the stress that I'm dealing with right now.'"
3. "He gotta concentrate on season . . . that f--king drug test coming up. We telling him he needed 33 days before he took his f--king test; dry-out, and he didn't. That's let me know right there that he ain't taking his f--king job serious."
Moore also reportedly mentions that Jones had been betting thousands of dollars on college football games.
Even before this new information was released, Jones was quickly becoming radioactive in NFL circles. He has been unable, we're told, to find a new agent. And multiple sources tell us that the Titans are trying to trade him, but can find no one who is willing to give up a first-day pick.
