When asked about the issue all jones had to say was "WAAAKKKAAA WAAAKAAA WAKKKAAA WAAKAAA WAAKKAAA.... meeeeeeeewwowowowowowowow...Bing"
Can't really cite the source, but if you become an ESPN insider, you get 12 issues of ESPN the magazine...yada yada ya. You get my point. It was a talk radio discussion at some point on "The Herd". Which is, btw, the best radio program on earth.Originally Posted by edgarfigaro
Id agree with you that race plays some part in it, but the NFL burries it when everyone gets in trouble. Ray Lewis, huge NFL star, dodged a murder wrap by pleading guilty to lesser charges. Ray Caruth has a chance to get put to death i think. OJ, of course he did it. There was twice the media coverage of Kobe's rape case than there was any mention of Ray Lewis getting possibly tried for murder. The NFL is this sacred ground of the U.S.. We love the NFL so much, that we try to rationalize it when people get in heat. I actually heard ppl call in to radio programs today and sympathize with pacman jones. "Well, he didn't have a father figure growing up, i feel bad for the guy". The dude has been questioned by police like 8 fucking times. Got probation extended like 4 fucking times. Judge>>"Oh, you broke probation, well, we'll just extend it some more, that'll teach you!".
This is what happens when you give dumbass thug life black people lots of money. Seriously, sports should be forced to do some sort of screening process on athletes. It gets to a point where you say "Hey maybe 10 Bengals getting arrested in 1 year is a little ridiculous." By the way, yes I did say black people. There are dumbass whites in sports who do stupid shit too but faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar less.
Someone had to say it.
Wait, someone named their kid Pacman?
Is that his real name, or just a nickname that always stuck?
His real name is Adam. Not sure what the reasoning behind the nickname is.Originally Posted by Tyche
Is he shaped like a pie of pizza that is missing 1 slice?
His brain may well be.Originally Posted by BRP

"He earned his nickname, "Pacman", as a child because he used to drink milk with the voraciousness of the Pac-Man character"
Id of thought it had something to do with gobbling up footballs (INTs) or backs.
one of my nicknames irl is pakman
the fuck.. pacman doesn't drink milk. He eats dots.Originally Posted by Tyche
Its amazing that the NFL doesnt hardly punishes athletes that break the law. It took 10 arrests on one team for them to say they MIGHT step in and take action against the team. They should just stand up to the pieces of trash currently in the NFL and severely punish them for crimes the commit. And i dont mean a $15,000 fine, thats nothing to them, suspend them for a year without pay minimum for any felony conviction. You might be surprised how much influence punishment by the NFL would have on pieces of shit like Pacman Jones.
WTF, THIS NIGGER BETTER GO TO FUCKING JAIL
lolAnyway
Aside from all the general fucked-upedness of this incident, the thing that stuck out to me was the fact that this NFL player has an entourage. I started to ponder the nature of the entourage. Is it a legal body? Are there contracts involved? Other people have, you know, groups of friends. What's with hip-hop stars and athletes that they need an entourage?
And Blue ghosts, after eating the biggest of dots.Originally Posted by Koga
Where's that guy's sig with the link to the gamefaqs thread involving the cereal rapist picture and the boo berry/pac-man joke.
that explains a lot of your posts (in regards to sports anyway).Originally Posted by Tyche
i listen to "The Herd" too but a lot of times Colin spews BS just to get a rise out of people, he's an entertaining personality, and as he says it makes good radio, but he doesn't always know what he's talking about and a lot of times he's just illogical (probably on purpose).
he spent one show talking about candidates for the Charger's head coaching vacancy, the day after Marty got fired, and he ripped into callers for an hour saying their candidates were too weak and they were "ruining" his show.
so who got hired in the end? lolNorv. most of the regular callers gave good candidates, the fact is Colin doesn't care about realistic candidates, he wants good radio, he wanted to fantasize about Jimmy Johnson, Bill Cowher and Pete Carroll.
and to this topic, he completely ignores the fact that NFL rosters has 53 people while NBA rosters have 15. he was debating with one caller, listing stars in both sports, he said Kobe Bryant doesn't count because he wasn't convicted and than his own list has OJ and Ray Lewis on it, both acquitted.
if he was to have a real debate, he would've been listing 3 NFL players for every 1 NBA player.
this is typical Herd style talk. ignore that Ray Lewis is a defensive player that only plays half the game, ignore that football players have their faces covered when they play, and most importantly ignore that Ray Lewis didn't win a Super Bowl till the year after.Originally Posted by Tyche
at the time, Lewis was Defensive Player of the Year. Ray Lewis had 0 national commercials before the Ravens won the Super Bowl. their popularity isn't comparable that's why the media coverage wasn't comparable, it's a lot more than NFL players get special protection (there certainly is some of that, but it's not as huge a gap as you or "The Herd" claims). and it's not a function of the league, it's a function of the sports they play, and who actually gets face recognition.
and i hate the Ravens and i hate Lewis but he didn't dodge a murder rap, his friends were the ones being accused of murder, most of the charges against him was for covering up for them.
Although this is bad worse shit goes on, OJ...Ray Lewis...TSN: So, how did you get your nickname?
JONES: When I was a baby, I'd usually go to the bottle like a Pac-Man machine, so my mom called me that, and it stuck with me.
Even though I hate what he did, I hope to god he gets off because I love me some Titans and we need his ass back in the secondary.
The difference in the league arrests is partially due to 53~55 NFL players (game day roster) compared to 25 (and more white guys, blah blah racist statement) in MLB, and ~12 on NBA rosters.Originally Posted by Tyche
MLB players mainly have a problem with wife beating and steriods, whereas the NBA guys handle most of their shit on the court and in the stands it seems.
P.S. This isn't Pacman's first run in with the law, he is about on his last straw for playing in the league. Sadly, this waste of human life is only 23, he has plenty of time to do more stupid shit.
