So, we were just surfing along, minding our own business when this article about Thomas Jones and his rippling muscles jumped off the screen and smacked us across the face. Tom Rock spent the whole story slobbering over Jones' arms like an enamored little school girl. Sounds to us like Rock might have a bit of a man crush going on, kinda like how Mark Cuban feels about his MVP.

With his bulging, tattooed biceps on display below those tucked-under white sleeves, it would be easy to think that Jones was the only Jet wearing full pads during the shorts-and-helmets practice. But it was all him.

Now we know that Jones is a physical specimen but this seems just a bit too Danielle Steel for our taste. But that's all beside the point; what really got our goat was that this journalist was clueless when it came to the human anatomy. Rock needs to start doing a little research before he just dishes out descriptions like "freakishly large arms." Sorry buddy, but this is the only guy we can find who is considered to be "armed and dangerous."

But to be fair to Mr. Rock, he isn't the only one who is starting to make football seem sort of creepy. We came across this piece on WCBSTV.com and the author seemed to have the same dreamy-eyed approach when describing Jones.

Jones' jersey sleeves were rolled up to his shoulders, probably because the fabric would be no match to contain his sinewy arms. And it's hard not to notice them, covered in tattoos and looking as if they should be on a professional bodybuilder.

Are we the only ones who feel dirty reading this?
