And Here Come The Suits


Lawsuits, that is.

Remember the whole Pacman-Jones-"Making it Rain"-biting-strippers-gunfire escapade? Well while Jones is still watching football from home, or just other strip clubs, the club manager that was shot and paralyzed has filed a lawsuit against Jones, the National Football League, AND the Tennessee Titans.

How can the manager, named Tommy Urbanksi, sue the NFL and the team which employed Jones? Simple.
The fact that the NFL and the Titans did not punish Adam "Pacman" Jones until after Tommy was paralyzedis a proximate cause of Tommy's injuries.


Wait, what? Because Jones was not punished for previous encounters with the law, Urbanski should benefit? If Jones had been suspended before the Las Vegas incident, he wouldn't have been at the club?

Not surprisingly, the NFL and the Titans have said they will fight the lawsuit, which is being called a "Hail Mary" by Pacman's attorney, Robert Langford. Very nice of him to use a football term so that we all understand.

Was PacMan At Work?


The ever-informational Michael David Smith brings attention to a little twist in the saga of everyone's favorite defensive back: Adam "PacMan" Jones.

Smith reportedly entered into a contract with a company called Harlem Knights, and in said deal, he agreed to shower the dancers with singles - making it "rain."

While the police have said that they have not heard of such a contract, I have two questions.

One, if it was just a contract that said Jones was to throw one dollar bills on to dancers, why would he get upset with the strippers when they tried taking the money? It's not his...is it? Or does that even matter?

Two, who would do any business with a company named Harlem Knights and expect to have it not end badly?

Weekend Wrap-Up


I haven't really decided what I'm going to do about the weekends. I, for one, would rather be outside with a beer - nowhere near a computer - but maybe that's just me. So for now, I think I'll just sprinkle a few links regarding what went on over the last 48 hours or so. Suggestions are definitely welcome.

In a love story for the ages, Chris Cooley will be marrying his longtime girlfriend. She just so happens to be an ex-Redskins cheerleader, who was booted from the squad for dating the tight end. I love that they call him Captain Chaos in D.C.

Romeo Crennel took a huge stance by electing to have his starting quarterback decided by a coin toss. No, really.

Despite all of the hype and youtubness about PacMan Jones' wrestling debut, it appears that the Titans want nothing of the sort. This comes as a big surprise considering he was a first round slection and all.

The Jaguars apparently had a rough night. Tim Couch is likely second-guessing that whole contract thing. (h/t to the Fanhouse)

A few suspensions were handed down.

No Michael Vick? No problem, as that Joey Harrington guy did alright. Yes, the Falcons lost to the Jets, but hey...think positive.

And finally, Steely McBeam. The Steelers new mascot with the questionable-at-best name. Yea, well it appears that Pittsbugh isn't a big fan. I'm sure pictures like this don't help much.

That's all she wrote folks. Until tomorrow...
