The NFL has to Stop Putting Quarters in Pacman

On Wednesday, November 19th, the NFL made another stupid blunder. They decided to reinstate the one man that has caused the league enough trouble that the Cincinnati Bengals wouldn't even allow him to come in the locker room and the Minnesota Vikings wouldn't allow him on their boat. The NFL needs to say adios to Pacman Jones.

I am not going to call him Adam Jones. No, absolutely not. In order for me to call him Adam Jones he needs to show the world and I that he isn't going to beat up his bodyguard, go to strip clubs, and carry and use guns while in public. An Adam Jones would not do those things. Pacman Jones most certainly would.

The NFL thought that it would be alright with Pacman going to a franchise that had their share of personality troubles (i.e. Michael Irvin and Barry Switzer), but how could they believe that after a third time of getting suspended this man would be able to turn his life around.

The NFL would be better off saying,"Cya later Pacman, we'll see you on the next season of MSNBC's "Lock-up".

Rodger Goodell blueprinted his tenure as commissioner of the NFL quite clearly in the past. Any illegal activities or questionable character escapades had been dealt with swiftly and with a firm hand. But my question is why not use that stern hand and give Pacman a swift smack the head and a kick in the pants.

Pacman Jones is a disgrace to the NFL, football, and the sporting world at large. The time for reinstatement and countless second chances are over. Pacman Jones, in the words of Will Smith, "you brought this on yourself."
