Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones was recently ordered to pay $11 million to two Las Vegas strip club employees, who were injured in a shooting by a gunman said to be affiliated with Jones back in 2007. One of the gentleman was wounded, while another suffered a much worse, life-altering fate: paralysis from the waist down. Jones was never formally charged with the shooting, but it always seemed as though the terrible events of that night was a result of his doing.
Jones' lawyers have responded to the jury's decision stating "good luck" collecting that money, as Jones doesn't get paid until the regular season is near. That being said, given Jones' track record for getting in trouble with the law, one wouldn't expect the judge to be in his favor for an appeal. This is the same Jones that was suspended a year at one point by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. It was almost as if he was the poster boy for why the NFL revamped and strengthened its player conduct policy.
While Jones was suspended, he once participated in professional wrestling, clearly going against his then-Tennessee Titans team's wishes. When the Titans cut him, the Dallas Cowboys decided to give him a chance. He then proceeded to underperform and get into an incident with security guards, who were hired to monitor him day and night. This recent verdict may not be for a new incident, but it does serve as a reminder of how one player made a powerhouse like the NFL look so bad numerous times. Commissioner Goodell gave “Pacman” another chance, but should he have banned Adam Jones for good when he had the chance?

There will probably be another chance to ban him before too long.
Do you just sit there waiting for someone to comment on something and then express yourself
Why not instead of replying to someone elses comment, come up with one of your own!!!
Like an original thought, or an original question....taking pot shots at everyone's responses shows me you are shallow and toxic......EZ4U2CME.......you want fries wiff dat??
He is a liability on any team.They could get sued because of his actions
and I will leave my comment there, unfinished....
I think him and OJ would make for a nice cell mates, so they could share their life stories
and commizerate together.......Roger Goodell needs to punch him in his wallet, suspend him for half the season without pay, and one last chance to get it back together and then banish him from the NFL.... Otherwise, pro wrestling may be his next career move, before prison.......
Oblameo has spent 6.5 TRILLION dollars in 3.5 years, which is more than the 43 Presidents before him spent combined!!! Who said ignorance is Bliss??? lmao
