Matt Jones kind of acting like a Jag

Riding home from work on the 'L' last week, the author was subjected to an unbelievably in-depth re-creation of a Saturday Night Live skit featuring the wildly overrated Will Farrell hawking the Jaguar line at a bar to an attractive young woman. In addition to being very annoying and far too loud and boisterous for a rush hour Brown Line train, it was just poorly executed. Here's the real sketch, which is actually not funny at all:



Not even one laugh in those four minutes to be had. But it's still funnier than today's Jaguar-related news that's coming in. Matt Jones, a former Arkansas quarterback turned Jacksonville wide receiver, gets busted for cutting up cocaine with a credit card in his car back in Fayetteville, Ark. Then owner Wayne Weaver has to issue a public statement reassuring fans that the team isn't going to go all Seattle Sonics on them.

The lesson in all this: enjoy the mildly luxurious things in life, like pro football, but avoid the extremely luxurious cocaine lifestyle.
