Matt Jones suspension delay explained

Matt Jones suspension delay explained

I have finally figured out why Matt Jones has not served his three game drug suspension for an off-season cocaine arrest in July. He is owned by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in his fantasy football league. Rumor has it that the Executive League of 12 (yes that’s the league name) is a keeper league with a large roster of 25 but no free agent pickups during the season. It is a start 3 WR plus one flex position of RB/WR or TE. My sources tell me Goodell has been in a bind since he loaded up on QBs at the April draft at the expense of his WRs. Lacking depth at that position, injuries to Joey Galloway and Kevin Curtis forced him to postpone his star WRs suspension in week 6 for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy. This little maneuver raised a few eyebrows within the fantasy league including a well worded verbal protest from Fox News Channel anchor Jane Skinner who supposedly threatened a coup d’etat. This explains why Jones has been able to play ball for the past 7 weeks rather than serve his three game suspension. Granted he did appeal the sentence but the league never has revealed when he was to start serving it. My sources also tell me that Goodell was eliminated in his league playoffs this week, so look for Matt to start his suspension very soon. Unfortunately Adam Scheffler could not be contacted to confirm these allegations.
