FREAKING PACMAN JONES! (1 Viewer)

He is pure ghetto.

When you look up the word Hoodrat, Pacmans mug is right next to it. This guy is going to have a very short career. They took him over A. Rolle didn't they? LMAO, what a huge error in judgement that was. Lendale will join him too in the anals of great talent, but peanuts for brains. The Titians are wasting picks on these wonderful chracter guy's. You have to have some type of upbringing to be a great pro in this league. these 2 knucklehead obviuosly did not.
This isn't an AOL chat room.And the guy just got drunk and was mad at his dumb female friend for losing his wallet, so get off your high horse already.
If that were all, agreed, no problem. But check this video of him after he got out of the pokey. No acceptance of responsibility on his part.

The kid is in complete denial and has the "Everybody is out to get me, none of it is my fault" chip on his shoulder.

The fact that he was crying in the back of the patrol car as he was being taken away, is a real sign of lacking control.

Then to throw out the Race card. :no:

Zero actually. I have seen drunk people argue before and really don't think its a big deal. I guess that's where we differ.
If you, mrspree15, got arrested for this, I would not think you're a moron. But Adam Jones (forget the stupid nickname stuff) is a football player, so it's different. If I was in the NFL and I was 22 years old, I guarantee you I would be in bed at 9pm and up at 5am to go to the film room & the gym. I would not set foot in a bar from July till January or February.There is enough time for bar hopping during the offseason or after your freakin NFL career. What a dumb &*!$.
haha thank you for your faith in me. But you've never stayed out too late on a work night, especially when you were young? He was excused from Friday's schedule, so he went out to a bar. He's not a football robot, he wants to have a some kind of life for more than 4 months a year. He may be a "dumb &*!$," but I don't think this situation confirms or denies that.
Yes I have gone out late when I was young. But I did not have as much to lose. If I had been fired because I got arrested during the night, I would have moved to a different city and gotten a similar job. No big deal. Jones has a unique job that cannot be replaced, plus he gets the media attention so he can't hide if he screws up. He has millions $$$ to lose if he screws up. Not me.Most top-notch NFL players have good work ethics. He won't be successful in the NFL if he keeps this up.I do think he's a dumb &*!$, but I agree with you that this situation does not confirm it.

This charge is such BS. He got arrested for arguing at a club, big deal
100% agreed. This is small potatoes compared to 99% of the other arrests happenning in the NFL. Come on, he was arguing loudy. :shock: He was drunk at a bar. :shock:

He didn't hit the woman and I am assuming she wasn't underage, and no drugs were found on him or her. The way I read it, he wasn't driving drunk either. Camp just broke. He made a bad choice obviously, but come on now. Arrested?

Sounds to me like an overzealous cop. Any police out there? Would you arrest a player on your hometown team for something like this? I would talk him down calmly, and make sure he got home safe. Maybe it's just me. I bet that this doesn't stick.
Why should he get any preferential treatment?

I guess I worded this wrong. If I was the cop I wouldnt have arrested anyone in this situation unless they were a danger to themselves or someone else. If the guy was just yelling I would have tossed him in the squad car and calmed him down. I would have also made an attempt to help him as it is my job regardless. Had he tried to help Jones, or at least use a little psychology to calm him down. If I was the cop I would have done this for anyone. No one needs this type of trouble over LOUD ARGUING. Last I checked this was not a crime. Public intoxication I'll give ya, and who knows how much of a ##### he was being with the cop. At first glance I say this is an overblown charge.

So the cop is at fault???? The guy is doing his job. He's got a belligerent drunk male spouting off to a female. The right thing to do is to keep the two separated. Sounds like the cop was trying to do that and Pac Man ignored him. Overzealous ??? Hardly. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I'd venture to guess that most cops aren't looking to lock you up for simply being loud and drunk (driving excluded). My guess is Jones's refusal to follow simple instruction landed him in cuffs. Just my .02If this was Jones's only transgression I wouldn't be in a rush to label him as a young punk. But add in his not so sterling track record and the simple fact that after sitting in the clink, sobering up and having time to assess the situation, Jones's next move is an expletive laced tirade in front of news cameras which includes playing the race card. Let's face it ... this kid is as sharp as a marble.

 
Where is the fact that the woman he was argueing with was with him and that she misplaced his wallet that was in her purse coming from?

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/TEN/9619324

This news report says that

"Jones was arguing with a woman he accused of stealing his wallet inside the club and passing it to one of her friends, according to police."

 
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2560810

Jones had already been excused from Friday's team schedule for "personal" reasons, according to The Tennessean.
My favorite part. As if he already knew he'd be too hung over to attend.Seriously though, let's take it easy on the guy. I'd bet most of us at some point (especially around age 22) have consumed a little too much and done something stupid.

Stupid? :yes: Thugish? maybe a little. But it's not like there were guns / drugs or domestic violence involved.

If someone took his wallet like the article states might have happened (thats all I can go on as it is presumed), then yes, it's the cop's fault if he didn't take that into consideration. If his wallet was stolen and he was drunk, I can see why he would freak out and then continue to freak out if I was then being asked to calm down and threatened in anyway. If this IS the case, and his wallet was stolen, then yes the cop was overzealous to arrest him. It's my opinion. Laws should be interpreted sometimes for what they are meant to protect. He could have easily tossed him in the squad and took him to the station for Jones to file a report, calm down, and sober up. The cop could have been completely oblivious to the fact of why he was yelling and Jones felt he was ignored. I could see myself doing that if my wallet was stolen, I knew I was being ripped off and the chick just denied it all and acted oblivious. Personally I would be able to control myself well enough, drunk or not, to communicate the situation to the officer. But when you are 22, it's a little more (how do I word this right) easy to imagine.

The fact that he was charged with disorderly conduct seems absurd to me, unless he was being physically threatening (which me may have been).

Public intoxication seems like a tack on charge to me. While you may not agree with him going out and getting drunk right now, he didn't break any team rules. He chose to live his life that way.

The real test is to find out if he learned anything. Someone said nothing good can ever come in a bar after midnight once at the rookie combine. Sounds like good advice when that much money is in jeopardy.

Police want to talk to Titans' Jones

Cornerback a witness to gunfire at gas-station fight

Posted: Wednesday April 19, 2006 2:17PM;

Updated: Wednesday April 19, 2006 4:22PM

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones talked to authorities Wednesday about an early morning fight where shots were fired but said he didn't see or know who had the gun, police said.

Jones, the Titans' top draft pick last season, told authorities he was at the gas station parking lot where the fight happened early Wednesday. Police had been seeking him for questioning after identifying him on a surveillance camera tape of the incident.

sportsillustrated.cnn.com
Or how about this one? Pacman let some drug dealer borrow his car, but then said he knew nothing about the guy being a drug dealer and again did the poor pitiful me routine & cried that everyone is out to get him.
"Through the eyes of Pacman Jones, everyone is staring at him.

Whether it's the police, media or even those in the Titans organization, the controversial cornerback feels like his every move is being watched and scrutinized.

After a relatively quiet offseason, Jones' name first came up on April 14 when Metro Police named him as an acquaintance of a suspect in a major drug-trafficking ring.

Jones' nickname was embroidered as "Pac Man" on the black leather seats of a 2004 Cadillac XLR, a pricey sports car that authorities confiscated from Darryl Jerome Moore's apartment in Bellevue. Jones said he was out of town when Moore, an aspiring rap singer, asked to borrow the car to shoot a rap video. He said he had no idea what the car would be used for.

"I can't even breathe in Tennessee,'' Jones said. "Everybody acts like I killed somebody or something. Everything that's happened, it's either been a rumor or I wasn't involved. But I've been a target ever since I've been there. I'm used to it. I just hope it gets better.''...

Jones, 22, was the team's first-round draft pick in 2005. Since, the team has paid him at least $9.2 million in bonuses, and his base salary for this fall is $842,500.

Yet, his rookie season included verbal altercations with fans, game officials and an opposing coach, along with a number of off-the-field incidents, though Jones is quick to point out his record is clean. In March, a judge dropped charges of misdemeanor assault and felony vandalism charges against Jones over a nightclub incident last July.

"I have no father figure. I have no one. It is just me, man,'' said Jones, whose father was killed when he was just a child. "All those other guys, when they get in stuff, they have people they can go to and all that.

How many times do we keep making excuses for the guy? :shrug:

Get off my high horse? :thumbdown: The guy is a Professional football player. He is making a huge amount of money. And he is acting like a 2 cent punk. All he did was get drunk and get mad as his girlfreind? Well he got thrown in the can so he must have been really putting on a show.

I am not going to get into personal attacks around here. But your way off base. I am not on a high horse it is called having some class and understanding you are a public figure and you need to use better judgment and know when to say when in public and keep you personal problems out of the public view. You are on a team and this is not helping your team.

The difference is when your handed a contract and have the responsability of being on an NFL team you need to grow up quicker then your average 22 year old. Sorry but it comes with the job. If you don't like it you will lose your job soon.

And anyone who has seen and heard Pacman talk knows this kid has no class.

:yawn:Money doesn't buy manners, class, tact or civility. But what he did wasn't a big deal. People are always ready to lay into pro players who do bad things, and while many times it's deserved, this just sounds like he was drunk, and acting like an ###. If that was always a jailable offense, 3/4 of the FFA would be in jail now.

Calm him down? :lmao: Even AFTER PacMan was arrested, he hadn't "calmed down", as evidenced by his tirade after leaving jail.If being cuffed and stuffed doesn't calm someone down, a few words in the back of the police car wasn't going to do it.

Didn't he already get in trouble once before for his actions at a nightclub? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he hasn't learned squat! Especially when you consider what his reaction to this arrest was. Reget? no. Embarrasment? Doesn't seem like it. Victim card? 100%I know a 22 year old hasn't learned a lot of life's lessons and shouldn't be expected to have the wisdom of a more mature adult, but I did plenty of drinking when I was his age, I was out and about with my friends at bars when trouble would break out and police intervention was needed. But the one thing I always knew not to do in those situations, no matter how hammered I was, was to ignore what the cops told me. You can argue all you want that the charges are excessive. And I'm even willing to agree that I wouldn't be surprised to see them eventually dropped, but simply put, if you're drunk and a cop is telling you to do something ... do it. If you're going to ignore him than be prepared for the bracelets. And as far as I'm concerned, if that's how things go, you deserve the night in the pokey. Getting drunk isn't a crime. But disobeying a police officer is. I fail to see how Jones deserves any sympathy here.

Changing gears for a second ... does this arrest subject Jones to any discipline from the NFL? Alcohol isn't the same as a failed drug test but doesn't the NFL also consider an offense like this a violation of the conduct rules? Could Pac-Man be facing a possible suspension?

Being drunk and saying something stupid didn't get PacMan arrested. Refusing to calm down in an orderly fashion when ordered by police officers is his offense. I make dumb, ignorant, drunken statements all the time. When multiple police officers step in and tell me to shut up, I shut up.

Well he was a witness to gunfire and he loaned his car to a friend who told him it was going to be in a video. He didn't fire any guns and he didn't traffick any drugs in these instances. He may have friends of questionable character, but I don't think thats illegal. You should find better examples of him messing up.

Whoa there Todem.Maybe not everyone here knows you support the Hurricanes, but this statement to me seems very strange coming from you. Miami churns out these guys every year.
 
Yeah calm him down. You all need to remember that his wallet was supposedly stolen. I'd be pissed too. He needs to learn to control himself better.

I agree though he should learn to control himself better as he has that responsibility to the organization.

I only heard one interview with him and I didn't think he sounded like he had no class. Ghetto? Yes, he was very ghetto.

This one will never be truly understandable until all the facts come out, which probably will never happen.

 
Hmm, dare I suggest that ": banned" have it's name changed to ": pacman"

I mean it looks just like pacman downin' a brew :banned:

My favorite part. As if he already knew he'd be too hung over to attend.Seriously though, let's take it easy on the guy. I'd bet most of us at some point (especially around age 22) have consumed a little too much and done something stupid.

Stupid? :yes: Thugish? maybe a little. But it's not like there were guns / drugs or domestic violence involved.
No guns or drugs this time.But what about this incident with Pacman back in April?

Police want to talk to Titans' Jones

Cornerback a witness to gunfire at gas-station fight

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones talked to authorities Wednesday about an early morning fight where shots were fired but said he didn't see or know who had the gun, police said.

Jones, the Titans' top draft pick last season, told authorities he was at the gas station parking lot where the fight happened early Wednesday. Police had been seeking him for questioning after identifying him on a surveillance camera tape of the incident.

Or how about this one? Pacman let some drug dealer borrow his car, but then said he knew nothing about the guy being a drug dealer and again did the poor pitiful me routine & cried that everyone is out to get him.
"Through the eyes of Pacman Jones, everyone is staring at him.

Whether it's the police, media or even those in the Titans organization, the controversial cornerback feels like his every move is being watched and scrutinized.

After a relatively quiet offseason, Jones' name first came up on April 14 when Metro Police named him as an acquaintance of a suspect in a major drug-trafficking ring.

Jones' nickname was embroidered as "Pac Man" on the black leather seats of a 2004 Cadillac XLR, a pricey sports car that authorities confiscated from Darryl Jerome Moore's apartment in Bellevue. Jones said he was out of town when Moore, an aspiring rap singer, asked to borrow the car to shoot a rap video. He said he had no idea what the car would be used for.

"I can't even breathe in Tennessee,'' Jones said. "Everybody acts like I killed somebody or something. Everything that's happened, it's either been a rumor or I wasn't involved. But I've been a target ever since I've been there. I'm used to it. I just hope it gets better.''...

Jones, 22, was the team's first-round draft pick in 2005. Since, the team has paid him at least $9.2 million in bonuses, and his base salary for this fall is $842,500.

Yet, his rookie season included verbal altercations with fans, game officials and an opposing coach, along with a number of off-the-field incidents, though Jones is quick to point out his record is clean. In March, a judge dropped charges of misdemeanor assault and felony vandalism charges against Jones over a nightclub incident last July.

"I have no father figure. I have no one. It is just me, man,'' said Jones, whose father was killed when he was just a child. "All those other guys, when they get in stuff, they have people they can go to and all that.

Entire story
How many times do we keep making excuses for the guy? :shrug:
Well he was a witness to gunfire and he loaned his car to a friend who told him it was going to be in a video. He didn't fire any guns and he didn't traffick any drugs in these instances. He may have friends of questionable character, but I don't think thats illegal. You should find better examples of him messing up.
I don't think anyone's accusing him of peddling drugs and firing guns in these instances. But it speaks volumes to the kid's decision making. The whole reason the NFL Rookie symposium exists is to help these athletes with the transition to life as young millionaires on a national public stage. Adam Jones is a poster child for how not to do it so far. If he wants to keep hanging with whatever punk element he grew up with that fine, as long as he realizes it reflects negatively upon him. Some people are OK with handling that criticism. But Jones first reaction to any criticism in these instances is to paint the media as wolves looking to pick on a carcass. I'd like to think at some point that the light would go on and Jones would realize he's contributing to the negative press he's getting because of the associations he's made. But I'm quickly pretty much convinced that he's not bright enough to make that connection.
 
If the guy was just yelling I would have tossed him in the squad car and calmed him down. .
Calm him down? :lmao: Even AFTER PacMan was arrested, he hadn't "calmed down", as evidenced by his tirade after leaving jail.If being cuffed and stuffed doesn't calm someone down, a few words in the back of the police car wasn't going to do it.
How calm will he be in the locker room when the Titans Veterans call him a crybaby girlie man? :cry: Prison would be no match for the locker room! :loco:
 
He is pure ghetto.When you look up the word Hoodrat, Pacmans mug is right next to it. This guy is going to have a very short career. They took him over A. Rolle didn't they? LMAO, what a huge error in judgement that was. Lendale will join him too in the anals of great talent, but peanuts for brains. The Titians are wasting picks on these wonderful chracter guy's. You have to have some type of upbringing to be a great pro in this league. these 2 knucklehead obviuosly did not.
Whoa there Todem.Maybe not everyone here knows you support the Hurricanes, but this statement to me seems very strange coming from you. Miami churns out these guys every year.
LOL.Yeah we churn out these guy's...but some of them get it and turn their lives around. Some don't.Some of them actualy grow up and use good judgement and stay out of trouble. Sean Taylor has a lot to learn and probably never will learn. But guy's like Reggie Wayne, Santana Moss, Edge, McGahee, Portis, Reed, Andre Johnson, they get it. They understand that you keep your nose clean when you are paid and are held accountable to a higher standardIn my line of work (which I don't wish to share) I would never be able to work in my field again if I were arressted for drug's and guns,or aggravated assault, or whatever. I would be toast and would lose my whole practice. I understand this and act accordingly. These Pro ball players get chance after chance after chance and still do not get it.It is a joke.

Complete denial on any and all responsibility.But hey! If you think he's cool and just an innocent victim of circumstances, who am I to say otherwise? I'm not going to argue with you about it. I'm just looking at everthing he's involved in so far and his track record and I don't happen to see the angel that you do. :shrug:

Witness to gunfire or target of gunfire, all I see here is a guy with questionable friends. Why is him getting shot at an indictment on his character? Hopefully, he will set his friends straight that their actions hurt his rep. He's still 22, he's got time.
 
This says a lot about his character.

1. He HAS to realize his is a professional athlete and will be the target for this the rest of his life.

2. The woman may have taken his wallet, but only after she realized who he was. I'm sure he was shooting his mouth off to everyone about who he was. He seeks attention.

3. The police saw a LARGE man screaming at a woman in public. I guess they should have just left it alone according to some of you. With him being drunk and his sense of entitlement it's not far fetched to think he wouldn't have started pushing her around. The police did their job.

4. I do feel bad for him getting his wallet stolen but this happens to lots of people everyday. And i'm sure others who get their wallet stolen don't end up yelling obscenities at the police, and getting arrested. This shows a lot about his character and his sense of entitlement. Being told to leave and then having the balls to yell at police when he is drunk.

The right thing would have been to:

a. Not even put himself in this position. There are many athletes who you don't hear of getting in trouble with police b/c they know right from wrong, they know they are targets, and they have common sense.

b. If it was stolen, file a police report instead of yelling at the police. Chances are he wasn't going to get it back, but who really gets their wallet back after having it stolen :confused:

And finally, you gotta love the copout. If all else fails blame it on racial profiling. You being arrested couldn't have anything to do with you being drunk in public, yelling at a woman in public, yelling at police. #1 major problem with society today is that people don't own up to their mistakes, it's always someone elses fault.

Officers said they ordered Jones to leave several times, but he refused and continued to shout profanities.
You people who are saying this is "no big deal" have an interesting perspective on life. True, he didn't hit anyone or discharge a firearm ( :clap: ). But the moron got himself arrested - again. That, in and of itself, is a "big deal." Ignoring repeated orders to leave the area will get you arrested, and is not a sign of an overzealous cop. Will he do time for the offense? :no: Will there be repercussions from this? :yes: And there should be.

The guy's a first-class moron.

OK, I thought you were taking a different stance. I musta read you wrong. ;)Yeah, Miami does put out some solid citizens. Edge for example couldn't be a greater professional than he is. Excellent guy.I don't think this event is at face value bad for Jones, but it's telling of his general attitude. One would think with the previous charges levied against him he'd want to lay low and improve his image? No, not him. :)

100% agreed. This is small potatoes compared to 99% of the other arrests happenning in the NFL. Come on, he was arguing loudy. :shock: He was drunk at a bar. :shock:

He didn't hit the woman and I am assuming she wasn't underage, and no drugs were found on him or her. The way I read it, he wasn't driving drunk either. Camp just broke. He made a bad choice obviously, but come on now. Arrested?

Sounds to me like an overzealous cop. Any police out there? Would you arrest a player on your hometown team for something like this? I would talk him down calmly, and make sure he got home safe. Maybe it's just me. I bet that this doesn't stick.

Seems to me the cops tried to give him the easy way out, but he insisted on doing things the hard way.I don't know how things are where you live, but where I live the cops aren't very tolerant of drunk guys shouting profanities.

Like I said, I'm not going to argue with you about this. While we're each seeing the exact same thing, we're taking different perspectives in how the events reflect on him as a person. :shrug:

Stop making sense.This thread is about being cool and saying there is nothing wrong with what PacMan did/does.

I totally get you, but if your wallet had been stolen, and the cops were telling you to LEAVE and not acknowledging the problem, you'd just walk away to avoid being arrested? You'd leave without your wallet, and just take the loss as a loss and chalk it up to a lesson learned? I agree he didn't handle it correctly but I see holes in this story and don't think of him as Chris Henry or Onterrio Smith, 2 real lousy people by all accounts.

You make a fair point about the missing wallet, and you are correct that he didn't handle it correctly. Cops, like most people in general, are more cooperative when drunks guys aren't shouting profanities at them.
