What Will It Take for Adam Jones (Formerly Pacman) to Put You in a New Car Today?

All it took was a visit to Michael Irvin's radio show, a little public contrition, temporary reinstatement, and a name change, and the endorsement deals have started rolling in for Dig Dug Jones. Suh-weet.

And he's even getting better at reading the cue cards! (Somebody used their one-year suspension to better themselves.) I would've loved to hear the Drivers Select marketing meeting where somebody pitches the "hey, why not have Pacman pimping cars?" idea.

That it got to this point is a testament to, well, I have no idea, but it's too bad Mr. Cousins of Ron Mexico wasn't around to suggest the line, "Payments so low, you could make it rain with the savings!" That could've really moved some inventory.

Jones is better than I expected, but he's still got a long way to go before he even approaches the excellence that is Eastern Motors.

What you have to understand is that there are a lot of people out there who don't hate Pacman's guts like he's the Anti-Christ or something. A LOT OF PEOPLE. And many of them are glad to see that he is given a second (third, fourth, fifth even) chance to wake his ass up and do right!

I'm not necessarily a fan of his, but it is quite funny to see how people who are close to perfect get bent out of shape when someone like him gets another shot.

Too bad Tommy Urbanski doesn't get a 2nd, 3rd and 4th chance at being able to walk again. He's a criminals, plain and simple.

And most of those people are squarely in the target demographic for this "driverselect.com", I'm sure.

Perhaps Shonuff but if it were Joe 6pack my guess is he would have been locked up for a very long time a few years ago. Like you I'm not a fan of pacman or whatever he wants to be called but it's clear to rational thinking people that his status as an athlete augmented by his ability to afford top legal representation has bought him 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances in society. The common man is tired of seeing his act again and again. A wise old man once told me life isn't fair and neither is the judicial system.
