As colorful as his nickname was, no one can blame [Adam] Jones for wanting to put everything associated with his troubled past behind him while he embraces a fresh start with the Cincinnati Bengals. “I have no worries. I’m smiling. I’m happy. It’s about football,” the corner back said after a practice at Georgetown College. “The past is the past. Ain’t no use to keep bringing up the past and talking about it.” [USA Today]

After some time to reflect on his wrongful ways, Jones is ready to turn over a new leaf. VROOM VROOM!
Like anybody who appreciates media, I feel obligated to pick up a newspaper once in a while (usually that means Cosmo). The mood seemed to strike during Thursday’s primetime munchies run and BAM – there’s Jones on a Segway. Well Mr. Photography school drop-out, you certainly sold me. So artsy. Totally raw. A human interest piece a la Cowboys’ Leonard Davis saves ducklings from a sandtrap.
And what other pictures were in the goldmine gallery of the Bengals preseason camp? Is this some really awkward metaphor for what’s to come? Like: “Pedal to the metal – Fall 2010!” …holla atcha Bengals yo. Call me crazy but it’s really gotten the better of me today and now the Dunkin Donuts staff thinks I just have a permanent dumbshitgrin.

Thank you Cincinnati Enquirer and staff photographers for this optical delight.
