Josh Brent Is Out Of Jail, Would You Hire Him...???

((HT: CBS Dallas/KTVT/WFAA-TV))

Former Dallas Cowboys tackle Josh Brent is now out of jail after his time for serving his conviction for a car crash that killed Cowboys teammate, Jerry Brown.

Brent was convicted back in January of intoxication manslaughter for the December 2012 crash after leaving a nightclub. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years' probation. The sentence is supposed to end in July, and it isn't clear how the rest of the sentence will be served- if at all.

Brent had a blood-alcohol level of 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Texas- .08

Brent faced up to 20 years in prison for intoxication manslaughter, but Jones' mother testified about forgiveness at sentencing.

The next question is that of the Cowboys:

Would you bring Brent back after a suspension (if given) or the completion of the jail term altogether after being charged for intoxication manslaughter...?

Here's the thoughts of the Cowboys at the time the question was asked of the Joneses...

Dodgers Cut Miguel Olivo After Ear-Biting Incident

((HT: ESPN))

The HQ had a feeling this wasn't going to end well...

Miguel Olivo and Alex Guerrero got into a bit of a kerfuffle in their Albuquerque dugout a few days ago- the result of a short-hop and a missed tag- and Olivo ended up biting a chunk of Guerrero's ear off in the mele. Guerrero was signed as a Cuban emigre for $28-million and was getting used to life in the United States and could now miss up to a month or more.

His agent, Leigh Steinberg, says his client will have to have plastic surgery over the incident and Olivo was released from the triple-A roster Thursday.

Eagles Release DeSean Jackson

((HT: ESPN))

And the question now, is, whether or not this message will be received by one of the top ten receivers in the NFL

Field Yates has a little bit of the why...


He was supposed to make $10.5 million in 2014 and was owed $30.5 million over the remainder of his deal, but none of that money was guaranteed. The Eagles were shopping Jackson, but couldn't find any takers- considering Anquan Boldin as dealt for a 6th round pick. It made you wonder what the value in a trade for Jackson was if yu thrown in the reported baggage...

That the Eagles knew about...

Eliot Shorr-Parks and AJ Perez go into great detail of Jackson's activity that was in part:

Despite Jackson's name having come up in connection with two gang-related murders involving Crips, (LAPD detective Eric) Crosson said police have no hard evidence that Jackson is a member of the gang, which was formed in the late 1960’s and has an estimated 35,000 members across the country. Crosson said, however, the Jackson routinely flashes Crip gang signs in photos on social media -- and even on television during an NFL game.

"You don't want to see anybody throwing up gang signs like he did in the Redskins game last year," Crosson said. "Those were neighborhood Crip gang signs and he flashed them during a game. He may not be affiliated with the gang, but they don't [ordinarily] take kindly to those not in the gang throwing up those gang signs."

And with the Aaron Hernandez case still a part of the NFL landscape, the Eagles want none of it...

The HQ will be interested to see where the message goes from here...
