James Jones was convicted of forcible rape of a 15 year old girl when he was 17. That isn't a misunderstanding or statutory rape. Forcible rape is a violent act...

I think I need to get to know the novels of James Jones better: he provided the source material not only for From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line, but this marvellously baroque, overblown drama. Frank Sinatra is a dried-up writer returning to the Midwest town where he spent a miserable boyhood, pursued by a fluff-brained floozy (Shirley MacLaine).

From the Associated Press’ Sex Offender Banned from Son's Graduation (5/10/08): “School and law enforcement officials have told a St. Joseph man that he can't attend his son's eighth-grade graduation because he is a convicted sex offender and isn't allowed on school property. “James Jones, 36, said he may go anyway although the Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department [...]

"[My job is] a culture changing job and that's what we’re going to be working on." ~ Craig Robinson, Head Basketball Coach, Oregon State University. You might remember: a few weeks back Oregon State Coach Craig Robinson joined Channing Frye and James Jones at an event in NE Portland called "Hoops for Change." Coach Robinson was helping get out the vote for his brother-in-law, Senator...

... cause. If you haven't figured it out already, my dad is on the right in this picture. He told me James Jones pretty much lit him up, but judging by the look on my dad's face, he wasn't too bothered by it. But, my dad did sky hook a three point shot, which he seemed very proud of. It's nights like this I wish I still lived with my parents... Sigh.

Filed under: In the news , Playground bureau A new state law is keeping thirty-six year old James Jones from his son's high school graduation ceremony and he's not happy. "I'm always preaching education to my children. How does that make me look if I'm not there at graduation?" In August 2006, a Missouri law went into effect that prohibits sex offenders from school property unless they...

... or even your big-minute players, come in and contribute more than you expected. By any measure James Jones fit that bill this season. When we got him from Phoenix with a mere trade exception you figured, "This is one of Kevin Pritchard's pet projects." Frankly there wasn't much Jones could have done wrong. Contributing anything would have been a bonus. That he became a integral,...

With a pick in the second-round, the Packers selected Kansas State WR Jordy Nelson . He should immediately push James Jones for the No. 3 WR role, already ahead of guys like Ruvell Martin and Koren Robinson . Nelson should also work on special teams, taking Robinson off that spot, too.

Darn! My reaction when Baltimore took QB Joe Flacco. Why? That was the first thought I had when the Packers selected a Wide Receiver, Jordy Nelson , with their first draft pick. Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Koren Robinson and [...]

The Packers used their second last pick of the draft to give 6’1” 200lb. San Diego State wide receiver Brett Swain a crack at becoming one of Aaron Rodgers ’ new targets. In all honesty, the chances of Swain actually making the team seem like a long shot to me. As it stands, the Packers are already loaded with talented receivers: Donald Driver and Greg Jennings are the top two targets, and James...

... Koren Robinson will be close as well depending on his knee. So all you have is Gregg Jennings, and James Jones. Now, do not get me wrong Ruvell Martin is a O.K. fourth wide receiver but an upgrade can happen there. So enter Jordy Nelson from Kansas State, allows him to learn, gain some chemistry with his new team. Good call (TT). One of the main areas of this draft that the Packers...

The Packers traded down to get an extra fourth round pick, so they had no first round pick. Instead, they got the Jets second round pick at #36, just 6 picks below our original pick. With that pick they took Jordy Nelson, a WR out of Kansas State. This pick seems a little odd, what with Donald Drive, James Jones, Ruvell Martin and Koren Robinson already on the team at WR. In addition,...

"Green Bay has done a nice job of drafting receivers lately," Mariucci said. "They had James Jones last year from San Jose State. They had Greg Jennings from Western Michigan. They all played. What a great young receiving corps. Ted Thompson, executive of the year, he's got 23 of his draft picks in the last three years playing on that football team. He's doing another good job."

... player. On a related note, during one of the autograph sessions I was literally right next to James Jones when the Packers selected Nelson. He was shaking his head and said, "What did they do that for?" He appeared to be trying to keep his emotions inside as much as possible, but it has to be hard when the team's first choice is at your same position. I also asked Nick Collins and...
