A former NFL player threatened an individual at a youth basketball event last month. The incident occured during a meeting for the travel team Matawan Aberdeen Middle School on October 5th. The altercation was seemingly caused by drugs or alcohol according to the police report. Jones also left a threatening voicemail to the parent of the 11-year-old football player. “We are going to blitz every [expletive] play until your guy comes out of the game,” Rogers allegedly said in the voicemail, according to the Asbury Park Press. Rogers was fired from his former job at St John Vianney High School, he had played for the Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, and Miami Dolphins.

 

This news article is another example of traveling league parents/coaches going overboard. These kids are only 10 years old, and the parents fight among themselves more than the players do. This article does a good job of showing what NFL players/ celebrities do once they are out of their profession.
