Popeye Jones, Bloodied and Bruised, Joins the Pantheon of Classic Athlete Mugshots
Courts, Legal, Former Athletes, Heavy Drinking November 4th. 2009, 12:30pm
Popeye Jones was popped for drunken driving Sunday. While briefly resisting arrested, he did a faceplant into the pavement. We collected a few other memorable athlete mugshots, from left to right: thrilled Jim Courier, groggy Allen Iverson, serial killer/goalie Patrick Roy, and Jones. [Dallas Morning News]

I think those lumps and cuts actually make Popeye Jones less ugly.

Quick: Everyone type in Popeye Jones in google then hit the space bar after the ’s’ in Jones. The first word that pops up for heavy previous searches is “ugly.” Hilarious.

Indeed NDub, he was constantly battling Sam Cassell in the finals of the NBA All-Ugly tournament.

Why is Patrick Roy’s mugshot done on scratchboard? Is Canada that cheap?

tyrone hill should get a nod in that tourney

Somebody refresh my remembery. Who’s Popeye Jones?
/all dem Jones’ look alike to me.

Ahh the 90’s.
Filled with classic All-Ugly All-Stars like Jones, Cassell, Gheorge Mursean.
Where have those days gone?!?! All we have left now is Rondo.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Other All-Stars:
Eric Snow, Tyrone Hill, Patrick Ewing, Nick Van Van Exel…and KEITH CLOSS!

I blogged about this at my blog Construda during my days at Construda.

Damnit, that doesn’t make sense. I wrote it during the NBA finals when I used to have my own blog (too busy now).

I like the list. Not sure I’d include Charlie V since he has a disease that makes him hairless.
You could replace him with Stephen Jackson (aka Juvenille from the Hot Boyz).

N Dub- Mike Miller should have a spot on that list too.

I remember watching Popeye Jones play at Murray State when I lived in Murray, Ky in the early 90s. Still amazed how a Murray State Racer stayed in the league for over a decade…

I did feel kinda bad (and do so more now since he’s a Piston) about putting Charlie on there. But, damn, that dude is gross.
Stephen Jackson looks like he’s constantly smelling a bad fart (thanks, TheSportsHernia).

You’re confused. This is the NBA all-ugly team. Miller belongs on the WNBA all-ugly team.
/his game isn’t womanly but his looks certainly are
November 4th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Chris Kaman certainly belongs on any “all ugly team” mention.

Jones is an assistant coach - he doesn’t play anymore.

Patrick Roy may look like a serial killer, but he IS a serial jackass and serious douchebag.
