I bet its fake. This is "reality" TV we are talking about. Scripted.

Sorry if old, but :laugh2:

This was entertaining. I stopped by L.A. Southwest College this week to spend some time on the set of "Pros vs. Joes," the Spike TV show airing in April that pits retired NFL and NBA players against so-called everyday Joes in various football and basketball skills challenges. Actually, the Joes are pretty athletic this season, many of them former college athletes.
I watched former NFL players Rich Gannon, Priest Holmes and Adam "Pacman" Jones play in a three-on-three football game -- with helmets and shoulder pads -- against three no-name competitors. Although some of it was hokey (when's the last time you saw Gannon rush the passer, or drop back into coverage?), there were a couple of big hits.
One of the better collisions was one at the goal line between Jones and a "Joe" named Dan Adams, a 5-foot-10 sales rep from Boston who played linebacker at Holy Cross. He set an NCAA single-game record with a staggering 21 solo tackles against Colgate.
Anyway, Adams stuck Jones at the goal line, jarring loose the football. It was pretty funny, because Jones had been talking trash to that point, referring to Adams as "Waterboy." A few minutes after the hit, the two exchanged punches and had to be separated.
"He hit me 10 yards out of bounds, kind of a cheap shot," Adams said. "I couldn't sit there and not retaliate. You've got to have some pride and dignity."
As for the oft-suspended Jones, released by the Dallas Cowboys after the season, he didn't seem too concerned about how he came off on camera.
"I guess that's the person he wants to be," Adams said. "But I guess in his defense, people kind of get caught up in the heat of the moment."

PACMAN GETS INTO A PROS VS. JOES FIGHT
Posted by Mike Florio on March 6, 2009, 5:46 p.m. EST
Adam “Pacman” Jones continues to find new and innovative ways to harm his chances of ever playing in the NFL
again.
A free agent after being cut by the Cowboys, Jones is participating in Spike TV’s latest incarnation of Pros vs. Joes, a contrived competition between has-been and never-were professional athletes.
According to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, who attended one of the sessions, Pacman and one of the “Joes” got into a fight not long after said “Joe” made like Sheldon Brown on Reggie Bush during a game of three-on-three football in full pads.
The hit came from Dan Adams, a former linebacker at Holy Cross who once made 21 tackles in a single game. Pacman had been calling Adams “Waterboy,” and Adams apparently imagined that Pacman had called him “needled–k.”
A few minutes after the hit, the two started punching each other, and they had to be separated. (I have an image in my mind of co-host Jay Glazer clinging to someone’s leg, a la Jeff Van Gundy.)
“He hit me 10 yards out of bounds, kind of a cheap shot,” Adams said. “I couldn’t sit there and not retaliate. You’ve got to have some pride and dignity.”
Pride and dignity? That would be a first for Pacman.

At least Ryan Leaf went on to make Seattle's roster after leaving here.
Someone on the Cowboys staff should be assigned a hammer to smack Jerry on the foot whenever he brings up signing some player no one wants. "Hey, what about bringing in Mike Vick? He'd make us unbeatable.". WHAM!
