Ed Werder says the NFL will now investigate what Pacman was actually gambling on when he incurred the $20,000 debt.

Please tell me Pacman was not in Vegas that week betting on the opening week's games. The 2007 season began on Sept. 6th with the Saints @ Colts.

the fact that he got 3 seperate markers means he was probably blowing it all playing black jack or craps

Should be a short investigation. You only get markers for playing table games, not for placing bets.

what gripes me to no end about this, pacman, nfl investigating pacman his gambling, etc

but they do nothing about when belicheater cheats, they do nothing when belicheater is dating a married woman and giving her gifts, they do nothing when tom brady gets a woman pregnant, then has another baby with a woman;

then when it proven that belicheater violated rules by having injured players praticing, when their not suppose too, even michael smith a very good reporter said, he has talked to several former patriot players and staff, and they have confirmed belicheater using injuired players playing and praticing,

and even further, shows you how ill equiped the nfl security is, that when nfl security would drive up to inspect, the patriots would call in to the practice field and tell them to get those players off of the field.

now that is out and out deliberate cheating, and all of this along with the tapes, notes, is out and out deliberate cheating, lying, but does the nfl do anything, oh no,

that what gripes me, i sure hope that senator specter is getting all of this down, and taking notes, and he will blow the lid off of the patriots and belicheater how they cheated and lied, and how the nfl has been trying to cover it up, especiallly goodell

...they do nothing when tom brady gets a woman pregnant, then has another baby with a woman...

What sort of penalty, in your opinion, should the league dole out for a player getting a woman pregnant....and exactly what type of investigation would take place?

I'm countin' on ya son....I'm sure you won't disappoint.

Not even I think Pacman is that stupid.

Is he? :

He's a six-time loser. "That stupid" is in his rearview mirror by now.

103.3 is talking about this right now. The debt was 15k, but with interest and fees, it's up to 21.6k (as I guess Werder says in this interview). They're playing clips of Manny Arora saying how they've known about this for months and never paid it until now, when they were basically forced to by bad publicity. He sounds pretty silly blaming Barkley's case and the Nevada court system and the powerful casinos for letting it come to this.

Apparently Pacman really is broke.

:signmast:

Another thing to add it has been said a few times by his agent and Pacman himself that he is broke.

Matt Walsh probably has video tape of that event as well.... LOL

I blame Adam for showing such poor judgment to be gambling and losing money he does not have when he absolutlely needs to be totally clean. And while I think there should be usury laws against this type of thing, there isn't, won't be and you just have to play by the rules.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

wow what does it matter what he was betting on i'm telln you man he can't go to strip clubs what next casino just ask this guy to become a preist before you let him back in the NFL.

From what I understand, the NFL has two gambling rules for players. The first is that you can't bet on the NFL. This is for obvious reasons. The second is that you can't make illegal bets. This is so that you don't rack up debts with unscrupulous characters who might absolve you of your debts if you try to lose a game for your team.

But still if he was playing the table and usch what does it matter. Unless they ban players from going to strip clubs i don't see how this is an issue.

 

[Viper]

I need to get with the program. Since Pacman might become a Cowboy, he's a good guy... right?

 

[Bungarian]

Vegas - markers

How hard is it to figure out what he was gambling on? table games. It is legal.

 

[links18]

In any event, it sounds more like a civil case that the casinos may have against him, not a criminal case. If they extended him credit, tough luck if he doesn't pay his debt, sue him. Of course, I don't know all the details..........

 

[lspain1]

Well, as it looks right now, I think we may be amazed at the mind-numbing stupidity of Pac Man Jones. Regardless of the circumstances, how do you let matters reach this point?

That's what I thought too.
