The Idiot File: PacMan Jones Suspended By The NFL...

Well, sometime people don't learn, and "Pac-Man" (no, not the Orioles Adam Jones) Adam Jones, of the Dallas Cowboys is in trouble again, and has been suspended -- indefinitely -- again.

What a dumb ass.

From ESPN: ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The verdict is in: Pacman is out again.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has been suspended for at least four games for his most recent violation of the league's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Tuesday.

The league said Jones was involved in an alcohol-related incident at a Dallas hotel on Oct. 8. Previous reports indicated Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle with a bodyguard assigned to him by the Cowboys, and that hotel employees called the police.

Jones will not be paid during the suspension. Commissioner Roger Goodell will determine the ultimate length of Jones' suspension after Dallas' Week 11 game against Washington on Nov. 16.

"He does need to address the kinds of things that seem to be with him at various times and one of those that he's dealt with for a really long time, he needs to address in a way that most of us might understand -- alcohol issues," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas.

When you're given a second chance in life, you take it and do your best to not screw up.

Pacman Jones screwed it up royally. Nothing ever good happens after mid-night as I always would say to my younger brother, and too bad someone in the position of Jones can not figure it out.

Now, he's going to pay literally. Of course, as long as he's got talent, there will be someone knocking on the door to have him sign a contract to play football.

Some people never learn. Did you all really think he found Jesus considering his rap sheet?

The Coarsening of Sports, Part XXX: Even When the Goings' Good, T.O. Gets Stupid

Even though the Dallas Cowboys are close to a playoff spot and leading the NFC East, resident idiot Terrell Owens decided to spit in the face of The Atlanta Falcons' DeAngelo Hall on Sunday.

Idiot. Why do we praise this man and give him face time? His behavior borders on sociopathic tendencies, if you ask me. Parcells, please school him.

I agree with Hall with this statement: ""I think, for what he did, he deserves more than a fine," Hall said on Sunday. "The guy has all the money in the world. He's making $10 million or whatever this year. So what's a fine going to mean to him, really? What he did, it was [vulgar], you know? But he's a great player, a great competitor, and what would hurt him a lot more than a fine is making him sit. That would get his attention. And that's what I think the league should do. They need to do something pretty [severe], because there's something wrong with him, and he just can't get away with this kind of stuff." (from ESPN)

Damn straight, he's right. There are some things you don't do to a human, although it may not hurt physically. Spitting is one them...

If I did this, I'd be arrested with the possibly of going to court with a dismeanor, or perhaps an ass-kicking to along with it. The fine is a drop int he bucket for Mr. Owens and grants more time on the tube and on the sports' networks.

Since Mr. Owens is getting a slap on the wrist, what lesson does it teach us? As long as someone like Mr. Owens still gets to style and profile, score touchtown and show his pearly whites in interviews, nothing is learned and gives other idiots the incentive to do something stupid.

I can only imagine what David Stern would do...
