TODD JONES DOES AWESOME IMITATION OF MAGGLIO ORDONEZ DURING RAIN DELAY
Todd Jones is a funny dude. I remember one year I was at the Phillies vs. Tigers game at Citizens Bank Park. We were standing over the Tigers bullpen and Todd Jones had about a 20 minute conversation with my friends and I. I noticed his socks looked a little funny and asked him about it. He lifted his pant leg up and had argyle dress socks on. Funny dude.

Alabama's championship created a special memory
Todd Jones, Sporting News
The national championship game in Pasadena, Calif., between Alabama and Texas means so much more in Alabama than in Texas.

Todd Jones Blowing More Than Saves
Todd "Hammer" Jones (we aren't sure how official that nickname is, but we heard it once and think it's perfect) was unable to close the game out for the Detroit Tigers, which eventually led to a 7-6, 11th inning loss to Minnesota. Besides the obvious ill-effects it had on the win-loss column, his inadequacies on the mound had an even greater reach. Chuck Douglas Booth, a 31-year...

Of the three Detroit Tigers who write on the side, Todd Jones takes the cake. He writes for the Detroit Free Press and The Sporting News. Granderson blogs about what how he went shopping at Wal-Mart. If these veteran players are about taking the younger players under their wing, Jones needs to give Granderson a bit of a talkin' to on how to write a good blog. What you bought...

Why the NCAA sucks
Read this column by Todd Jones. He is able to sum up some of my feelings on the sham that is the NCAA and amateurism. Amateur athletics is largely a relic that dates to a time when athletics was a pursuit reserved for the leisure time of the wealthy. I love the OSU football team and greatly enjoy college football. But I can't get past the fact that there is injustice here.
