For all the David Jones fans you'll love this picture.

Honestly, he looks like a drunk, possibly homeless Narduzzi in this photo.
I guess he couldn't figure out how to upload his pic of the Shoe for his background.
And newspapers wonder why nobody is buying subscription anymore. Stop letting hacks like this right more than two paragraphs and maybe I can come back
Even Pitt should be embarrassed by this basement dwelling stewball.
Webster's dictionary was looking for a pic for their definition of an asshole...they chose this one!
That crooked nose looks like it's been broken many times. I bet CJF could help straighten it out when no one's around.
He can occasionally write a decent article. But that doesn’t make up for his massive smarmy-son-of-a-bitchness.
I wonder if he would have wore that Spitt shirt if the press conference was on campus?
I don’t reed what he rights.
Sorry B-13, I couldn’t resist. Been stuck in the house for far too long.
But I agree with your post 100 percent.
It's been a very long time since PSU has had friendly press- even the CDT isn't a booster. And that pre-dates Sandusky.
Don’t necessarily need a friendly press, just need one that isn’t an OSU fan or one that wears a Pitt tee shirt for the hell of it.
True, but most programs at least have a friendly hometown paper- we don't even have that
What's that hand-sign he's flashing... the super-duper reverse middle finger??? OR, is he just flicking a booger???
Think about it. Imagine that you're a PSU grad, and you're writing beat stories for Michigan football. Unless you're making mucho dinero, how miserable would you be to have to put on a happy face and discuss Michigan football as if it's your own team?
Take solace in knowing that Jones is stuck writing for a team he has no interest in rooting for. And he has virtually no prospects for moving up the ladder to something more prestigious.
I think it's quite hilarious. The Pitt shirt is merely his way of middle-fingering the world for the personal hell he finds himself in.

You got it almost completely right. He pairs his disinterest in PSU with the attitude most “journalists“ seem to have which is contempt for their readership. We central PA rubes couldn’t possibly grasp his genius. Just ask him.
Beat writers aren’t suppose to be fans of the team they are covering. However, they are suppose to be objective.
That's true......rather than "root for", it's better to say "cover with enthusiasm". We don't need our beat writers sitting there cheering for PSU, but at least pretend as if you give a shit about the subject matter.
Can you imagine this being replicated on Columbus? I have spent quite a bit of time in central Ohio and trust me, the beat writers for O$U are like paid fighting acorn propagandists.
It's a 2 hr farther drive for his dipshit father to visit. Can you blame him?
Sure. But wearing that to a virtual press engagement with Franklin?
I mean, it’s not worth actual anger. But it seems silly.
he looks like he did the 50 yard dash in a 40 yard gym

The last virtual presser he showed up in a Michigan State shirt. It’s ridiculous. I hope CJF didn’t, doesn’t and won’t acknowledge. It may be his attempt at humor but it’s poor taste at best.
You don’t need to be a fan, but you don’t need to be a jackass either.

Yeah. It just a typical Jones passive aggressive move. He’s always trying to push a button for attention. ‘Look at me! Look at me!!’
It’s called respect....if you’re having a virtual meeting with the Penn State coach, you don’t wear a Pitt shirt. Just like if you’re meeting with the Pitt coach, I would hope you wouldn’t wear a Penn State shirt. It’s basic manners.
A good journalist is a lot like a good referee - you don't notice them while the game is going on but at the end you know they did a great job. I don't read Jones' stuff much (why give him the clicks) but it seems like he usually inserts himself - directly or indirectly - into what he writes and it is impossible not to notice that the piece was written by him. If you write good enough material, people will know that you did a good job.
If the dickbag were doing an interview with the CEO of Coca-Cola, he wouldn’t wear a Pepsi shirt.
The overwhelming number of these ass-clowns in the media are no more qualified to have an opinion on football than you or me. They are more qualified than us to report "actual" information, because they have access to information we do not. Davey Jones, or any of these boobs has the great privilege of asking a Coach or Player a direct question. That gives them access to information we do not have. But when a guy like Davey Jones writes an article saying "Penn State should do this...." or "Penn State should do that..." or "James Franklin needs to do this...".... Well, that just pure crap, because in general terms this guy is not any more qualified or any more knowledgeable about the game of football than 90% of "Joe Average Fan".
That's not how I see it. I believe he's here for a purpose, and that purpose is to keep us down. I don't put it past osu to install friendly media in hostile territory, like all evil authoritarian regimes do.
**** david, 'face-for-radio', jones and the red and grey horse he rode in on. And his pitt shirt and rape questions the first time he met Franklin and all his anti-Penn State bullshit!
I think you're giving him -- and Ohio State -- too much credit.
He's not smart or disciplined enough to live as a deep plant for this long. The guy just isn't very good at his job, and rather than parlay excellence at Penn Live into a dream job in Columbus or for a national publication, he's stuck writing about a football program he couldn't give two shits about.
I hope Franklin continues winning for years and years to come and that he takes PSU to the next level. And I hope Davey is around to write about all of it.
