The Florida Gators (nuff said); Cards Manager Tony LaRussa arrested for DUI in Jupiter; rampant Marijuana use; Automatic Weapons; the mighty mullet and now the Jacksonville Jags.

“This is unbelievable, man, unbelievable being a pro athlete in Jacksonville. I can’t wait to get out of here. Can’t wait,” Barnes said while handcuffed in the back of a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office patrol car. “Especially if you’re black.”

About 20 minutes later, still in the patrol car, he said, “Of all the places in the — world that I came to this — hick town. They — hate us here.

“Why you even want to have a pro team here? What’s the use? They don’t even — respect you.”
