Even aside from the fact that him not playing at his best costs him money this year and in future earnings. He has every reason to kick as much ass as he is capable of kicking.

And Joe Cullen is the DL coach. Jones and his teammates on the DL love this coach and appreciate his intensity and how he handles and motivates players.

See, like that.

By the way, it ended up being a bad move by Honey Badger. For awhile it looked like he might not even find a new team.

Money Badger thought he could sniff out the phat stacks without having to tackle. It appears most teams find that essential in a safety...
