I’m no Adam Jones fan, but let’s not play jump to conclusions in this case, just yet.  However; it’s still an example of how this guy just seems to constantly have trouble and controversy swirling all around him.  From Fox Sports:

A Bronx woman who was involved in a Las Vegas brawl that police say NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones’ incited has been found dead.

Police say 26-year-old Sadia Morrison was found dead last week behind a Bronx building. Officers found her unresponsive with injuries consistent with a fall.

There is no reason to think that Jones had anything to do with her death, but I’m sure that there are going to be many people out there who will try to make that link, and because of Jones’ past behavior, you can see how they would arrive at that conclusion.  Is that wrong?  Yes, it is, but when you have the history that Adam has, I’m not sure that you are ever going to get the benefit of the doubt again.

It would be like believing Elizabeth Taylor when she says her next marriage is going to work out, or Lenny Kravitz when he says his next album is going to be original.  Look at their history, and you’ll see that there’s no reason for optimism.

And yes, I just dropped an Elizabeth Taylor reference on a sports site.  Deal with it.

Now that’s a sensationalist headline if I ever saw one.  That was very bad of me.

But, in a way it’s true, as Pac Adam Jones has told some folks that he no longer wants to go by the name PacMan and is instead going to try out another name.  His real name, Adam.  According to Adam Schefter, PacAdam will make the announcement later this week.

How very surreal.  A grown man choosing to go by his real name rather than by the name of an eighties video game character.  How refreshing.  But don’t give me that he’s doing this in an attempt to change his image.  He’s just doing this to be cool, he found out that Diddy is going back to being Puff Daddy, so he figured he’d be as street as Puffy and go with the Adam tag.  Well, at least it fits.

Because he’s been Adam mess, he is Adam mess, and he will continue to be Adam mess.

Never mind the Broncos uniform that Walker is wearing in the above photo. He plays for the Raiders now, and he has shown such great judgment that there is no other team in the world that he is a better fit for inclusion.

Walker remains in the hospital after being found in a Las Vegas off-strip alleyway, knocked out and jacked up. Walker had been partying it up at Body English a club that is part of the Hard Rock Casino and had been spraying champagne on people and partying like a Pac Man into the late hours of Sunday night. Walker was found early Monday morning, the victim of an apparent robbery:

Nichols said Walker told police US dollars 3,000 in cash and US dollars 100,000 in jewellery was stolen from him. He added that police have some leads in the case, but no arrests have been made.

He was wearing 100 grand worth of jewellery. It’s always good to walk around with a mid-size house around your neck. Especially when you’re in the habit of making sure that everyone at the club sees you spraying bottles of champagne around the club. How do you think that conversation went:

Walker: “Hey, everybody! I’m Javon Walker! I play pro football! WEEEEE! I’m indiscriminately spraying bottles of champagne! I’m wearing lots of gold and platinum! Hey, look at me! (sprays more champagne). I just got a new contract!”

Robber 1: Isn’t that Javon Walker acting like a dick and spraying champagne everywhere?

Robber 2: Yeah.

Robber 1: That’s a nice watch he’s wearing. Nice necklace, too.

Robber 2: Yeah let’s follow him out, beat his ass, and take his stuff.

Robber 1: Sounds like a plan to me. I watched him play in Denver, he’ll be easy enough to catch.

Robber 2: Yeah, possession receivers are no problem. I wouldn’t want to try this with Steve Smith though.

Robber 1: Yeah, that’s a great receiver.

Look, Walker didn’t deserve what happened to him, but he’s made a history of showing this kind of lack judgment in the past, and this time it bit him hard. Maybe he’ll stay out of the clubs now, but if being covered in blood after seeing his friend get shot didn’t teach him that lesson, I doubt that this ass-kicking will do it either.

Arlen Specter is finally giving up on his attempts to get inside the pants of New England Cheerleaders by lying about his penis size.

Wait, that’s not right.  Okay, here’s the right article:

“I haven’t pulled back. There’s not much more I can do at this point,” the senator said Monday, according to his office. “We’ve exposed a lot. … But the public attention span is so limited. I’m not going to call for hearings because the mood is not right and we’ve got too many other bigger problems to deal with.”

Oh I get, he’s giving up on trying to get the Senate to spend even more of my money investigating sports, when I’m paying five dollars a gallon for gasoline.  How very noble of you Senator.

What now for Spector?  Well considering that this is just another case of him being unable to prove a conspiracy theory (he was the guy behind the JFK single bullet theory after all), he’ll probably take his defeat by trying to find another conspiracy or maybe by trying to solve a good ole-fashioned mystery.

Mysteries like, why did the tooth fairy stopped visiting me when I was 10?  Or, why did those sea monkeys that I bought just look like specks of dirt?  But, worst of all, how come those X-Ray glasses that I bought didn’t really let me see through chicks underwear?  These are all better uses of his time than another Senate Investigation into sports.

Leave the cheerleaders alone senator.  Leave the cheerleaders alone.

Because sometimes it’s just too damn easy to even comment.  Don’t hide your face Mr. Romo (unless your staring at Jessica’s ass), she’s your girlfriend.  Today at least, since you’re as bad at break-ups as you are at holding for kicks; lift up those eyes and face the music.

But this shirt does force a question: When someone tells Jessica that meat is actually made from animals and not in the back of a supermarket with a mallet, a magic wand, and a meat wizard; what do you think that her reaction will be?

I’m betting on “ewwww that’s gross, I’m a vegetarian now :)”

Don’t worry Tony, just tell her that penis is vegan and your relationship should continue to be full of that happy goodness that the rest of us can only read about in the pages of the National Enquirer.
