Pacman still doesn't get it
http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs....84/1106/SPORTS
Also, a comment from our good friend Florino at PFT: Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones explained on Friday night that he believes that his one-year suspension from Commissioner Roger Goodell is excessive because Jones is, as he said, "a guy that hadn't been charged with nothing." As one member of PFT Planet pointed out, the butchered grammar is, technically, accurate. Jones has been charged with something. With multiple crimes. But he has never been convicted of anything. There's a big difference. Still, the "hadn't been charged with nothing" routine is catching on. On Saturday, a CNN sock puppet parroted Pacman's version without correcting it. Moments ago, Falcons running back Warrick Dunn mentioned the same concept on ESPN's Outside the Lines, and host Bob Ley didn't remind Dunn that Jones' basic contention is simply not accurate. As a result, this notion that Jones "hadn't been charged with nothing" could be creeping into the collective subconscious, making an inherently unlikable figure seem sympathetic. Instead of just pathetic. ------------------------------------------------------------ That clever Pacman...using a double negative slipped past all of us! Perhaps even more amusing is how he's going to appeal to the very man who suspended him in the FIRST place. He also was in a casino for a fight with Mayweather Jr., coming off his own suspension in boxing, hardly a honorable "sport" these days. This came three days after his suspension to boot. I wonder if he "made it rain" in the ring.  Even he's not THAT crazy. |

If Adam Jones (I refuse to call him by his nickname now) doesn't get his life in order, playing football will be the last of his worries.

So I guess Jones thinks Imus shouldn't have gotten fired because he was never brought up on charges and Rutgers forgave him.

Imus should not have been fired. Overreaction by CBS and MSNBC. As for Jones, he is an ass hat, and if he can't leave the "street" behind, then he needs to go back to it.  |

He also didn't report two of the incidents like he is supposed to per league policy.

It is funny that Mock is ripping on Pacman Jones for his bad grammar. Maybe Pacman had a bad voice box.
