Trouble? Guess Who!

Posted by rich on October 9, 2008

Okay okay, who had week six in the “pick how long it will take for Pacman to get back into trouble” office pool?  You, sir, are a winner.  Some people, no matter the situation, always seem to find trouble.  Pacman is one of those guys.  Pac got into a brawl with one of his own security guards in a hotel yesterday after the security guard said something about the girl Pac was with.  Here’s how it probably went down.

Security Guard: “Pac, that girl is a skank.  She’s gonna jack you, bro.”
Pacman: “Yo, don’t talk bad ’bout my girl befo’ I have to whoop yo ass.”
Security Guard: “You?  Whoopin’ my ass?  I’m an off-duty cop, bro, I’ll blow you up.  So shut your mouth and lets get outta here.”
Pacman: “Aight now you crossed the line dawg, Im’a beat yo ass”
Security Guard: “Pac you don’t wanna fight me, you can’t be gettin into trouble like that.  Goodell will suspend your ass.  Mr. Jones will be pissed off.  And I don’t wanna have to break your face in.”
Pacman: “F**k that lets go.”
(Security guard whoops Pacmans ass)

Expect the heavy hand of Roger Goodell to come smashing down on Pacman.  Upon reinstating Pacman, Goodell warned that any incident would be taken seriously and punished harshly.  This would be one of those incidents.

More importantly, imagine being Jerry Jones right now.  You took a flyer on a guy who had some problems but did what was necessary to make sure it wouldn’t happen again by issuing security guards for him.  Instead, he goes and fights one of the guards.  Now, with a likely suspension coming, you lose Pacman from the defense on top of finding out that Terrance Newman is going to be out for up to six weeks with a sports hernia.  That Cowboys defense took a serious hit within a matter of days.

It’s not like I’m surprised.  I wasn’t fooled by the front that Pac put up in the HBO series ‘Hard Knocks.’  He’s not a reinvented person.  He never will be.  I don’t care how good he is at football, he’s just another Lawrence Phillips.  Pac’s options in the NFL are getting smaller by the day, and if he continues doing dumb shit like this, he’ll be out of the league before the year is over.

Pac Man Wants To Lay The Smacketh Downeth

Posted by rich on July 31, 2007

pacmeezSome athletes just can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight even if they aren’t on the field. Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones is one of them. Pacman, who is currently facing a year suspension from the NFL after numerous run-ins with the law, is in talks with the Tennessee based wrestling federation TNA about a role in the wrestling league.

The only way I’m sure how to react to this is with laughter. Is Pacman going to make the next famous wrestling move? Are we going to get a flying ghost chomp off the turnbuckle? How about a diving interception off the ropes? We have the rock bottom. We have the stone cold stunner. We have the pedigree. What about a zone blitz grapple? How about a punt return suplex?

Give credit where credit is due. Though you won’t be hearing his name on the field for the 2007 season, you’ll still be hearing his name in the news. This is undoubtedly a huge marketing ploy for the relatively unknown TNA and, with a name like Pacman joining the ranks, enough back country morons will probably tune in and spike the ratings. Who knows what he’s going to do on the wrestling stage. What I do know is that, while he’s parading around between the ropes acting like the attention whore that he is, I won’t be watching. Sorry TNA, but even Pacman’s controversial mug won’t draw me in.
