Pacman

[Apollo Creed]

What does what jersey you own have to do with anything?

That I have a bias towards players with 'me' problems. And no part of my body suggests Pacman is a good guy, or even a good football player.

• Because of his trying background, Jones possesses a deep desire to give back to the community and affect people the way his grandmother and Sobleskie affected him. In college, he worked with special education groups and desires to open a clinic for special education students in the future. “I feel like I know how to help them,” he says.
• One of the first things that Jones did before the ink even dried on his multi-million dollar contract last fall was commit a monetary donation to the 100 Club of Nashville, which supports families of police, firefighters and emergency workers financially, who lost their lives in the line of duty.
• In 2005, Jones’ Westlake Lake High School in Atlanta totaled the most NFL players from one high school. Jones joined fellow Westlake alumns, Keith Adams, Ian Allen, Keyaron Fox, Sean Jones, and Anthony Mitchell for a total of six current Westlake NFL players.
• During the 2005 season, Pearl Cohn High School in Nashville was struck by tragedy when a member of the Pearl Cohn football team was killed in a car accident and several other players were injured. Jones visited the school and provided inspiration to the somber football team. After the tragedy Jones still reached out to the student-athletes making weekly visits to the high school, while encouraging to students stay on the right path so they can be successful in life.

I really don't think he's the scumbag you people are saying he is but that just goes with the perception I guess.

You act like he's been going out and getting into shots out everyday. Brett Farve's addiction is pretty serious. After the shooting incident there hasn't been another one so what are you saying ?

Brett Favre's addiction WAS serious. Adam Jones has an addiction just as serious, ALCOHOL. It is such a serious addiction that he preffered alcohol to playing football at the grandest stage imaginable.

Let alone the implications with the shooting.

Ok....pretty sure kids are going to see right through the hypocrite when they are seeing his mugshot on T.V. constantly.

Any and all PR work Pacman did was because of court-ordered community service. He wasn't doing that because he wanted to.

You're delusional.

Where do you get this info from?

 

[Dawgs0916]

Are you kidding me? Maybe the fact he got suspended midway through our season because he couldn't lay off the bottle.

I hate people with agendas and bias this is so stupid what I posted for what it's worth I'm ****ing done.

You sir, are a hypocrite. Of all people to talk about agendas and bias.

DAM these Pacman threads have legs!

I'm going to start one next week that just says PACMAN. No question, no article, just the PACMAN title and see where it goes.

 

[Dawgs0916]

It gets legs when people get the nerve to defend his actions.

I pointed out how someone addicted to pain killers was viewed as a Golden Boy and a triumphant hero as opposed to adam jones who is viewed as an evil tyrant and "thug" as you would say. Where it's really not justified.

It's just a sad (<<<satire people) fact of life that when a man admits to his faults people respect him for it, and when a man makes excuses for every misstep people tend to not respect them.

Sad, sadder, saddest.

It is an absolutely foolish comparison. If you want a similar example of how we as a society tend to look kindly on a man's faults when he owns up to them, please read Michael Irvin's Hall of Fame speech and then read the reactions around the country to what he said. When you lay bare your soul and own your faults...that's called being a man.

Brett Favre, Michael Irvin and others who have done that are men. Pacman blames everyone but himself for his ills. That will never be respected. He is not fit to carry the jocks of men like Favre and Irvin who have flaws but who own up to them. Did Favre continue his destructive behavior once he got clean? No, but by all means don't let facts get in the way of a stupid comparison.

I remember when I was in Dallas for the Commander game last season. I was staying at the team hotel and was in the hotel bar having a beer. I walk outside to have a ciggarette at about 11:00 or 11:30 p.m the night before the game. and who do I see leaving the hotel with his bodyguards? you guessed right it was none other that Pacman jones.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I never said it was however, simply throwing out terms with out really knowing what you're talking about is silly. It also pisses me off with people make assumptions about things when they really don't know what they're talking about. However, keep doing what you're doing throw in a silly picture for laughs.

Pot meet kettle.

You don't know Adam Jones personally. You know nothing more about him than what everyone else does yet everyone else is silly and pisses you off for making assumptions based on his decision making?

Fact Adam Jones has been in trouble, repeatedly, for various offenses since he was in college.

Fact any lack of trust people have in him, and his judgement, he brought on himself by being a complete knucklehead.

I pointed out how someone addicted to pain killers was viewed as a Golden Boy and a triumphant hero as opposed to adam jones who is viewed as an evil tyrant and "thug" as you would say. Where it's really not justified.

And, once more, you've proven you're either incapable of reading or it's something worse. Favre gets treated different because he owned up to his mistakes and got treatment for it and hasn't had an incident since. He isn't a repeat offender through out his entire career.

Adam Jones, however, points the finger at everyone else and how it's everyone elses fault, and not his, that he's a screw up and has gotten into multiple situations since being in college and the league.

Once more you fail while trying to force that comparision.

Hos, in the above post, gave it to you best. The problem is you're not likely to get that fact because you think Jones is a victim of everyone else just being mean to him.

The media made him do it.

 

[ZeroClub]

Whoever is to blame (himself, his upbringing, his astrological sign, bad luck, whatever), he sure has screwed himself over.

Yeager,

Did you know that Pacman's fiance has ties to Memphis? From what I hear, he's a nice guy that is just immature.

FWIW.

Theesman married a Memphis lady does that make him ok? :laugh2:

 

[Juke99]

I think it's appalling that the media members get together a couple of times a year, in an undisclosed location and they make a list of unsuspecting innocent athletes they are going to attack.

That's what happened to Pacman. He came out of college...fine fellow. He was minding his own business, being a good guy and a good upstanding citizen...and the media had him on their damn list and started writing about him.

They leave other athletes of varying races, beliefs, origins alone...but if you're on that list, whoa there is hell to pay.

 

[Jon88]

Pac is a good guy who was also crucified by the media.
