New York Daily News: Pacman: "I'm going to get my gun."

[GlitzCowboy]

It wouldn't be so damn bad if he wasn't SO DAMN GOOD. What is going on through this guys mind? He has top defensive player potential and he's the biggest freakin idiot that's ever walked the planet.

What's more sad about this whole situation; other players included. The overall quality of play in the league is going to go down by losing these standout players. They're hurting the game. Insane talent is being ripped right from our midsts and some secondrate will be thrown in their spots. But what can be done? Nothing. Examples have to be made, but it still costs us all, it costs the game.

if true .............sound the idiot alarm and Pacman will come running!

 

[Bizwah]

Well, I want to wait until all the facts are out......

But if this is true.....and it probably is, considering this Idiot's past.....then, he needs to get the boot.

He just doesn't get it.

Who of us haven't been there?

You're calmly putting your bills in a G-string, or tossing them on the floor to be picked up in interesting ways, and then some jerk comes over and has the nerve to ask for a private dance? What real man wouldn't threaten to kill everyone in the entire club for such an outrage?

Every night occurance for me.....

I predict he will never play another down in the NFL...

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he is arrested for a major crime during the next year or found dead in the gutter...

Goodell should beef up his bodyguard detail...

I predict he ends up dead within the next 4 years or within 1 1/2 year after he gets his life ban from the NFL.

Yeah, its possible that he won't avoid trouble long enough to earn his way off of his suspension.

If he does get reinstated, he'll get another chance. If not with the Titans (who now must be close to being finished with him), with some other team.
He's got too much talent to ignore and some coach somewhere is going to think (naively) that they can get through to the player.

1. Latest Pacman Jones chapter



This is one of those stories that seemed impossible to believe from the moment it rolled across the news wire. It doesn't matter that much that Jones wasn't directly involved in the shooting outside an Atlanta-area strip club early Monday morning. Police, who want to question Jones, are investigating whether Jones' friends are involved. If they were, Jones has already lost a lot more leeway in the eyes of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, the man who suspended Jones for a year and promised complete banishment from the league if Jones didn't alter his lifestyle. What's even scarier about this incident is that it happened less than a week after Jones met with Goodell and agreed to drop his appeal of that suspension.

When I try to make sense of all this, I keep coming back to a comment made by a person who knows Jones well. This source explained to me that Jones comes from such a rough background in Atlanta that he just can't grasp how bad all his run-ins with the law appear to the public, regardless of whether Jones is involved in the action.

"Pacman probably has spent his entire life being questioned by police about something that happened around him," the source said. "It doesn't mean he's guilty of the things they ask him about. It just means that he's gotten used to the idea of police coming around looking for information. That's just the way it was when he grew up."

If that's the case, Jones should start realizing how bad it looks when the police come calling. If he can't do that, he'll be wondering what happened to his career in the not-to-distant future.

The sad truth is some of these guys just can't escape their upbringing.

I remember a Mike Tyson interview once where he recalled after becoming the youngest heavyweight champ in history, he left Cus D'Amato and the Catskill mountains and returnd to Brownsville Brooklyn, where he proceeded to participate in a mugging with a buddy of his. He said he didn't need the cash of course, just the way he was brought up. Just did it for kicks, wasn't a big deal to him.

I predict he'll serve the full one-year suspension and then suit up after eight games in 2008.

Seriously, no one is that stupid. He'll realize that without NFL money he can't have an entourage, money and the gangsta lifestyle, and he'll be just another pretty face, so he'll clean up his act.

But Goodell will give him a further eight-game suspension for 2008 for his noctural club activities/gangsta lifestyle.

Oh yeah, without question, I think your dead on. I mean, the Bengals are always looking for a few good men.

I wonder if anybody has access to the NFL Channel. Rummor that something is being reported on NFL Channel.
