Pacman is on the loose

According to ESPN.com, the NFL has reinstated multiple arrestee Adam “Pacman” Jones in time for the Dallas Cowboys season opener against the Cleveland Browns. Jones had been suspended by the league for his continued violations of local, state and federal laws, which I blame partly on his addiction to strip clubs. I understand, Adam, I have similar problem with Starbucks. Of course the popo never have to cuff me and escort me out of the coffee chain, but I get it. Since he was drafted in 2005, Pacman has been arrested six times and involved in 12 incidents requiring the popo. Crap, Michael Vick must be so pissed he’s locked up at Leavenworth while Jones is parading around a free man. That’s right Michael, next time just be involved in shooting people at a strip club, not dogs in your backyard.

Jones had received a partial reinstatement by the League in June, which allowed him to attend training camp and participate in preseason games. He then wrote a letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell in August requesting his full reinstatement. I was hoping it was handwritten and littered with spelling errors, but a co-worker informed me it was actually typed.

Upon hearing about his formal reinstatement, Pacman had this to say:

"It feels good man, you know, to get a second chance and I just have to take advantage of it," Jones told The Dallas Morning News. "First and foremost, I don't want to let myself down, definitely my little girl down. I'm thankful for Jerry [Jones], the fans in Dallas and my teammates for believing in me. I need to keep doing what I've been doing to get reinstated, staying with myself and my teammates and staying away from those knuckleheads and just stay focused."
He has a kid, really? That doesn’t seem like a good idea. Anyway, watch out Pacman, because the popo will always be on your tail!
