I've never been a fan of Tebucky Jones. Frankly, I don't think he's a very good football player. In fact, he's such a poor tackler-- he attempts to knock people over instead of wrapping them up-- that after pinballing off a ball-carrier that he refused to wrap up I've been known to yell "Look Ma, no arms!" at the TV.Apparently he has no heart either, as the Hartford Courant reported yesterday that he is attempting to evict his mother from the home he bought for her:
NEW BRITAIN -- Tebucky Jones, a New England Patriots football star and former New Britain High School standout, is trying to evict his mother from a condominium he bought for her.Trust me, Mrs. Jones, your son is no threat to the make the hall of fame.
Jones filed a complaint in Superior Court in June. He claims his mother, Maryann Jones, is not paying rent.
"He belongs in the hall of shame, not the hall of fame," Maryann Jones said Thursday at the Plainville condo.
Maryann Jones signed the deed for the condo back to Tebucky Jones, for no money, in January 2006. It is unclear whether the mortgage on the property has been paid.Tebucky is trying to evict his mother over $115 a month? So, even if she hasn't paid him a dime (and really, why would a millionaire athlete ask his mom to pay rent?), she only owes him $920. It's got to cost him as much to evict her as it would to just let his mother live in peace.
Tebucky Jones claimed his mother had agreed to pay $115 rent every month but stopped doing so in January. In June, he issued a legal notice ordering her to leave the condo by June 21.
Maryann Jones declined Thursday to discuss the situation.
Shanequa Jones said Thursday that Tebucky talked their mother into signing the deed over by saying he would take care of the condo and pay for everything.
"My mother trusted him and thought her son was trying to help her get out of debt," said Shanequa Jones. "Basically he's trying to put my mother out on the street. My mother is sick and you're doing all of this?"
As an aside, it's obvious that the Inside Track at the herald doesn't watch the games, since it refers to Tebucky as a "tackle titan" in this morning's rewrite of the Courant piece. The Herald caption writer also botched the assignment, referring to the safety as "tackle Tebucky Jones."
