Nice biceps, dude


"I have never, pinned up my shirt sleeves, period."



These new hats MLB is sporting is just not a good look.


If you haven't heard the news, Tennessee Titans scum bag CB "Pac Man" Jones has been implicated in some more crime. This time, 3 people were shot, one of which remains paralyzed.

Apparently, Jones and his posse were at a Las Vegas strip club late one night during the NBA's All Star weekend. Pac Man brought with him $81,000 of singles in a garbage bag, with the intention of "making it rain." Standard practice in the "make it rain" ritual is to drop the plethora of bills about the stripper (hence, making it rain), and afterwards, when the stripper has the audacity to pick up the money as a tip...you punch her in the face. Or at least that's in accordance with the Pac Man Jones school of "making it rain."

After Jones grabbed the stripper by the head, and punched her in the face, the bouncers at the strip club had the gall to restrain Jones from applying any further beatings. How rude of them. This resulted in an altercation between Jones' entourage, which included rapper Cornelius Haynes, Jr. (better known as Nelly), and the strip club staff. During the brawl (Nelly left before the festivities), Pac Man bit one of the bouncers on the ankle, and proceeded to threaten a bouncer that he was going to kill him.

A short time after, an unknown shooter came back to the club, and shot 3 victims. One of which, is now paralyzed.

It should be noted, Tank Johnson is not considered a suspect, and his whereabouts at the time of the incident are unknown.

Pac Man Jones, in the meantime, should be forgiven since he hasn't had a good role model throughout his life. And, if he were to go to jail, it would be a tragic waste of good NFL talent. I'm sure a few teams out there could use a good cornerback. After all, what's wrong with a dude that likes to spit on women and punch them in the face. Surely this can be forgiven with a couple of timely interceptions.

Tragically, while I'm being a little sarcastic above, this will likely be the scenario. A few ignorant circles will continue to make excuses for this piece of trash, and he will likely get another chance. The idea of prison was contrived with these people in mind. They're a danger to the decent human beings of the world. They don't deserve to be included in the general population, let alone be in a position to earn millions of dollars. But since he has talent, he likely will be.

For a very interesting, and well written article on the NBA All-Star weekend in Vegas, and all of its extra curricular activity, go here to read Jason Whitlock on AOL Sports. I'd never been a big fan of Whitlock when he was on ESPN, but he makes a ton of sense here.
