HAS PACMAN FINALLY GROWN UP?
Posted by Mike Florio on March 12, 2009, 9:23 a.m.
We’re skeptical about this one, because it reminds us a lot of the stuff Brandon Marshall was saying in Hawaii last month, only a few weeks before his fourth arrest in less than three years.
But our pal Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com seems to be of the opinion that cornerback Pacman Jones, who has been at the center of controversy from Morgantown to Nashville to Atlanta to Vegas to Dallas, might be turning the corner.
Glazer recently conducted an “exclusive interview” (i.e., no one else cares to talk to the guy anymore) with Jones, and Glazer emerged with a far different view of the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft.
“I got a little girl,” Pacman said. “I’m engaged now, so I have other things that interest me other than going to [scrip] clubs, hanging out with 20 guys ’til four or five o’clock in the morning. I want to play football and you can’t do those types of things with my lifestyle and all the controversy I’ve had.”
Glazer also tells the rest of the story as to the fight that Jones started during the recent taping of Spike TV’s Pros v. Joes, which Glazer co-hosts.
“I asked him to play it up, pump up some trash talk with our Joes for some great TV,” Glazer writes. “He was fantastic, a natural with one-liners — the type of comedy you’d pay a two-drink minimum for in a comedy club.” [Editor’s note: Based on his alleged affinity for a certain type of cigarette, Pacman is a natural for the “Dave’s Not Here“ routine.]
“At one point he got into a scuffle with a young man named Dan Adams,” Glazer says. “A nice little football fight. It was perfect TV. Folks, this was not Pacman being a knucklehead. This was Pacman giving us exactly what we were asking for. Maybe it was that little stint he did in pro wrestling but the kid understands what would makes good TV. Even after his little tussle, he gave my co-host Michael Strahan and me a little wink as if to say, ‘I promised you guys I’d make it good for you.’”
Jones told Glazer that “a few” teams are interested in the man who was unceremoniously dumped by the Cowboys after a single season that featured a six-game suspension after Jones got into a fight with one of the men owner Jerry Jones was paying to keep Pacman out of trouble.
But Jones refused to name the teams.
Hey, maybe the Bills will sign him.
