We don't know yet whether Pacman Jones was really involved in a shooting this morning. And as the Las Vegas strip club shooting proves, we may never know exactly what happened. There was some arguing, some trouble and eventually some shots fired.But this much is clear. Pacman Jones has not learned a thing from his suspension or his long rap sheet of run-ins. In Jones' case, there's no reason at all for him to be at a strip club at 4 a.m. I'm not trying to sound like I'm ready for AARP. There are plenty of NFL players who have proved they can be out at all hours of the night without getting in trouble, but the minute the clock ticks past midnight, Pacman turns into a police report. At this point, if Jones really wants to prove he's turning his life around, hitting the clubs with his posse is a terrible idea.
The police reports say that Jones wasn't in the car from which the shots were fired early Monday morning, so it's hard to see charges being filed against him, but it's not going to make NFL commissioner Roger Goodell happy. So how many extra games can you tack on to a year-long suspension?

Pacman is a dummy. Worse than that he's a gangster. Good riddens to bad rubbish.

Pacman is unreal! Does he think and the "company" he keeps can continue to run this game forever? Surely the justice system will catch up with him and his hired hands.

Thats a nice spin we may never know what happened. How about here's what we do know, the DA in Las Vegas refuses to charge Jones, because there is no evidence. Even better the DNA evidence collected shows that Jones was not only not the shooter, but not the biter either.
So again a frontpage story about what? Pacman Jones not doing anything illegal again. So those are the facts, thats what you know. NO DNA, NO CHARGES!!!

Say it Ain't so Pacman! Say you were not over on Moreland at a strip club in the middle of all the truck stops and just down the street from one of Atlanta's most notorious housing projects. Say it ain't so. If you are going to frequent a strip club, at least go he Magic City or Cheetah. But on the other hand,the truckers probably did not recognize you over on Moreland.

Pacman, This is for your ears. Have you stopped to think someone else maybe pulling the strings. If you want your career and enjoy playing football then don't help the ones who want to see you fail. Take a step back and use better judgement. You have been blindly trusting the wrong voice. Look around, who gains by your mistakes. Stop being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's all up to you!

What a weird world we live in.
On the one hand Duke University can expel 3 students, publish an ad condemning the entire team in it's OWN paper by 88 "esteemed" college professors (all of whom we can assume have at least Master's Degrees and should have at least a passing knowledge of due process) and cancel an NCAA sanctioned season for the entire team and it's 40+ innocent players based on nothing but one woman's testimony (that changed no fewer than 3 times). NO DNA, NO CHARGES?
On the other hand the privately held NFL is wrong to suspend an employee who has been charged with crimes no less than 5 times and has had no less than 11 "run-ins" with the law since he was drafted because there is NO DNA NO CHARGES?
Strange stuff.

Why is it that when it comes to Pac-Man, Titan fans say, it doesn't matter what he does off the field but what he does on the field. But with someone like Kobe Bryant, its "so what that he can do all that scoring, he acts like a punk off the court."
