Jack Jones News Update Thread

[n1997y]

No fans complained about Hernandez prior to 2013. If they did, they were in the minority.

so you’re saying those two guys in the North End weren’t fans? Ok I guess they never complained. Didn’t have the chance.

I'm more concerned about Jones's apparent lack of intelligence than the fact he was in possession of guns.

What other completely idiotic actions does he have up his sleeve?

I still want him on the team, but it comes at the price of all of Pats Nation having to hold their collective breath hoping he doesn't do something stupid at any given moment in time, making him unavailable for game day.

I really hope he can mature.

 

[Pats2000]

OK.

So, you are fine with Jones serving at least the minimum of 2 1/2 years if he is found guilty?

No, Mass has draconian gun laws and its ridiculous that something legal in the majority of the country carries mandatory minimums there. It's an infringement on people's 2nd amendment rights. But this won't ever go to trial, the only way it does is if they've got someone they can prove put the guns in there without his knowledge. Otherwise it's going be negotiated down to either a suspended sentence, with probation or some kind of misdemeanor and no jail time.

Why? If you want to watch the movie why would you not because of what you think of the personal beliefs if someone pretending to be someone else?
I can understand if you don’t like the characters they play but the person has nothing to do with the character.

You aren’t stuck with teams, you can change, but most people don’t fit the exact reason I am saying, you route for the team not the personal identity of the guy on it.

I watched James Woods in an episode of ER the other night - Woods and I wouldn't agree on much, I'm sure.

He should have received an Emmy for his portrayal of a doctor struggling with ALS. Fantastic performance. Absolutely brilliant.

Well, at least you still have Grand Ole Opry.

I prefer Lawrance Welk

How do you negotiate a mandatory sentence?

It doesn't go to trial

 

[moosekill]

Plead to a different/lesser charge.

How do you negotiate a mandatory sentence?

You don't let it go to trial. Mandatory sentence is if you are found guilty of that charge. Prosecutor can reduce the charges, the judge can suspend the sentence and you only serve it if you get arrested again. There is all sorts of ways he doesn't go to jail

I think it was Switzer who had a gun in his bag going through the airport security. He ended up with a fine and probation. JJ will probably get the sane thing.

Does he also have a breaking into a Panda Express charge on his record too?

you settle on lesser charges, that dont carry a mandatory sentence

Yiu all seem to want to have the federal government set all the laws, rather than have the states set most of the laws.

It is not a secret that MA and CA have strict gun laws and carrying hidden loaded guns and oversized magazines is illegal in airports in both states.

I just got out of my active duty training in the Army and moved back to Mass in the early 90s. I applied for a hand gun permit. The local police Chief would not issue one to me. Mass. is a different place than most of the country. Not saying it is bad or good, just different.

I still don't own a hand gun. Seems like the gun nuts buy them up quickly every time I go shopping here in Colorado.

Solid Gold was good.

My mom Loved to watch Lawrence Welk, late afternoon or early evening on Saturday...or was it Sunday?

Solid Gold was ok, though I preferred Soul Train... American Bandstand was ok too, though I believe the acts that appeared on it all lip-synced their songs...?

Does anyone remember **** Clark's "Where the Action is"? I loved the theme song from Freddie "Boom-Boom" Cannon.

Freddie from Reveah Mass!

Also holds the record for most American Bandstand appearances I believe...

My grandparents watched it but I do remember it being on when I was over their house in the 70s as a kid. I want to say it was early Saturday evening?

I grew up with Solid Gold which was blown apart by MTV.

Solid Gold was lip-sync. I had a crush on the Solid Gold Dancers lol

This is the big problem. I actually see him as a key to everything going on with the team. I mean, if he and Gonzo lock down the outside with JJones taking the slot, we can unleash havoc with Dugger, Peppers, Phillips and Mapu covering everyone else (TEs and RBs). Let Judon, Uche, Barmore and Wise pin their ears back knowing the back end has it covered.

But Jack Jones is a damn key to all of this.
