No offense Jom but this gives me great joy. Just when the Steelers are at their lowest their dear friends in Cinci come along and cheer us up.

Yeah, it blows. I absolutely hate Pacman. What's even worse is that it's Deion Sanders that's helping him get back into the league...

Unfortunately, the Big Ben situation has allowed the Bengals to pick him up rather discreetly. I would think it might have been a bigger deal otherwise.

maybe the Bengals should trade in their Tiger Stripes for Prison Stripes -


Pacman Jones Criminal Record


Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the NFL. NFL teams continue to draft thugs and convicts without regarding for their moral character or criminal record. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is considering a proposal where NFL players will be kicked out of the league after three strikes.

Here is a rap sheet look at all of Pacman’s brushes with the law since joining the NFL’s Tennessee Titans:

July 13, 2005- Arrested and charged with assault and felony vandalism after a nightclub altercation. This began Pacman Jones NFL rap sheet. He already had a lengthy one from high school and college.

September 5, 2005- Adam was invited to attend the Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. Jones went off on a verbal tirade while being told to wait for his car after the event. He then refused to tip the valet service.

October 2005- State of West Virginia filed a petition stating that Jones had not been contacting his probation officer and that he had not reported his July 2005 arrest. The judge extended the probation for just 90 days.

March 23, 2006- Charged with marijuana possession in Fayetteville, Georgia. He went on to claim that he knew how to beat the NFL’s drug test.

August 25, 2006- Arrested for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after being ordered by the cops to leave a Murfreesboro night club several times. Jones claimed a woman stole his wallet. The woman claimed that Jones spat on her. The judge in the case gave Pacman six months probation and told him to stay away from the club.

October 26, 2006- Jones was issued a citation for misdemeanor assault after a female student from Tennessee State University claimed that Jones spit in her face at a Nashville night club.

Feburary 19, 2007- The facts are disputed and no charges have been made yet, but Jones was in the middle of a fight and shooting at a strip club in Las Vegas that left one man paralyzed and two more wounded. The fight broke out after Jones showered strippers on stage with $81,000 dollars. The club owner claims Jones was beating a strippers head against the bar while claiming to kill one of the club’s employees.

January 3, 2008- Pacman is accused of punching Wanda S. Jackson in the face at an Atlanta strip club called the Body Tap Strip Club. Jackson says Jones reached over the counter and sucker punched her in her left eye.

October 8, 2008- Jones got into an alcohol related incident which turned into a physical confrontation with bodyguards that had been assigned to him by the Dallas Cowboys. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Jones indefinitely for the second time in his NFL career.

The above time line doesn’t include his sentence of one year in prison for a bar fight in Morgantown, West Virginia while in college.

Who is making a big deal about Big Ben situation at this point (other than HeHateMe, of course, who is apparantly not capable of talking about anything else)? Ben's a non-story until October, when he is eligible to return to the field.

The reason a Pac-Man signing isn't a huge deal is because it is with the Bengals. There is no surprise there whatsoever. Everyone pretty much expected that he would end up there eventually anyway (it was inevitable). If he signed with a totally unexpected team like, say, the Colts, then it would be news. Pac-Man to Cincy has the shock value of Ricky Martin announcing he is gay.

Oh I'm just saying that perhaps the Bengals don't have the undisputed "jailhouse team" title right now cause of the Big Ben thing (in the minds of the general public anyways). I'm not saying the Steelers situation is anywhere near deserving of that title, but there are plenty of haters out there who will think that.

Re: And the Beat goes on for the Bengals...

To some degree, I believe that Mike Brown really embraces troubled players because he feels for them and wants to give them a chance. And, to some degree, I believe that Mike Brown really embraces troubled players because they are the most talented players at their draft spot, or they are the best bargains in free agency. Either way, he is an idiot for putting so many guys with questionable work ethic and shady pasts in the same locker room. If the Bengals win the Super Bowl any time soon, there really is no justice in the world and/or the Bengals coaching staff should be called the best in football.

Mike Brown embraces whatever it takes to win. Considering how many terrible seasons the Bengals have gone through, I can't say I particularly blame the guy. Now its pretty clear this strategy has not paid off for them, so I really don't see why people feel the need to dig this issue up.

because the Bengals just signed one of the biggest idiots of all time in Pacman Jones?

There is a difference between pointing out that the Bengals signed an idiot and suggesting that they are prison inmate recruiters, as the title of this thread implies. I'm not criticizing anyone discussing this on a forum, I just have an issue with the media pushing this type of propaganda. The guy is irrelevant, and as far as I know, every troubled player they have picked up has pretty much been irrelevant. Its just not worth it.
