We had some fun with Adam Jones earlier today, but I just received a comment that provides much more in the way of background. Except where the Mets are involved I’m nothing if not fair, so take it away Mrs. Bradley:
Let me clarify any misconceptions that are currently out there with
reference to my son Adam Jones being pulled over during his interview.
First of all, Jonesy was on his way to pick me up for our weekly lunch
date and was doing the interview via his cell phone with which he wears
a headset, even though the laws in our state do not require he uses
one. Second, while driving and doing the interview he was pulled over
for his windows being too dark and NOTHING ELSE!!!!! Adam is a very
conscientious young man and he knows RIGHT FROM WRONG! Not being
biased, I am being honest. If our state had a no cell phone or text law
he would abide by it, but we don’t. This was not the problem!!!! The
problem was his tint on his windows and if any of you have ever been to
Arizona when it is 117 degrees or higher here, you would understand the
circumstances!!!!
Adam happened to come directly to me after the stop and the interview
and explained the ENTIRE SCENARIO and I can the entire situation
because I also live in AZ and have been told that MY WINDOWS ARE TOO
DARK, so what would that make me? 6 out of every 10 cars in certain
parts of Arizona a tinted due to the extreme heat factor, so before you
start paasing judgement, come on out to AZ and get heated in the 117
DEGREE SWELTERING HEAT AND THEN WE CAN TALK! Until then, STEP!!!!
Respectfully,
Andrea Bradley, mother of Adam LaMarque Jones, Centerfielder for the
Baltimore Orioles
So here’s the deal, guys: ballplayers’ moms are hanging around here, so let’s clean up our act, OK? Watch that language and for God’s sake, Gator, put some pants on.
