Pacman's ad promises he'll win back trust

[dbackjon]

In the end, Pacman Jones' actions will speak louder than any of his words, but in a full-page advertisement he purchased in today's editions of The Tennessean, the controversial Titans cornerback is using words to take the first public step toward rebuilding his image.

In a letter addressed to family, coaches, teammates and fans, Jones expresses regret and vows to do better after his season-long NFL suspension.

good for him... but only time and good actions will make me a believer

Are you kidding? Talk is cheap, he just needs to shut up and make better decisions. Needs to change his lifestyle.

[Fresno St. Alum]

I also promise you guys that I will replace Tom Brady at QB in NE this year.xlolx xlolx xliarx

[BigApp]

I trust he'll be incarcerated again. Hopefully, he proves me wrong.

[813Jag]

I was in Nashville this weekend and I was "honored" to read that letter. I feel like everyone else talk is cheap. I'd like to see his actions speak louder than his words.

[OB55]

He could start by putting his money where his mouth is. And I don't mean by buying I'm sorry ads, there are many worthwhile causes in every community, in need of money, and volunteer work. Quietly going about some of those kind of projects will speak a thousand times louder than a full page ad.xnodx

that is exactly what i said...

[813Jag]

He likes to throw away money. The article said it cost $11,000 for that ad.

[CopperCat]

I trust he'll be incarcerated again. Hopefully, he proves me wrong.

Lets do some math here. He's a guy with a whole season to sit on his butt, and he has money. What happens when somebody has money, a LOT of spare time, and has a criminal history? I won't get specific, but you can probably see that the result is not good.xoopsx

Americans love a "reformed sinner." If he cleans up and becomes a model NFL'er, then the sky's the limit for Pacman.

I'm skeptical of that happening though.

Pacman is going to have to follow the lead Iverson gave years ago.
He either gotta tell his boy's to CUT OUT THE BULLSHAT or be CUT LOOSE.
When Iverson told his boy's that used to raise he!! in the street's and basketball arena's that, you ain't heard a peep out of them since.

These mofo's are gonna cost Pacman what little carear he has left.
Even when the police and people at the scene say he was not part of the crime, it's still gonna cost him with the NFL.

He bout to go through more shat because of these fool's he was parting with before he left and the trouble started.

Packman better grow up fast and cut these fools loose.
They don't GAF about his NFL carear.

I agree. xthumbsupx He really needs to ditch his crew before he winds up being the one getting shot. He's walking around with a bullseye on his back and he still out there wilding out. Looks like the NFL did the right thing. I hope he does the right thing and gets his life together.

[spelunker64]

Jones agreed last week not to appeal the suspension. The 23-year-old player could be reinstated after 10 games for good behavior if he adheres to conditions set by Goodell and is not arrested again. Missing the entire season would cost him his salary of nearly $1.3 million.


Looks like it will be the full 16 if he doesn't get his act together.

I was Atlanta this weekend, well I just got back this morning and it seems as if old Pacman is back to being his old selfxrolleyesx This dude is in some deep isht according to some folks that I talk to at a Collier Heights barbershop in the Atlanta area.

Who says you can't go home again? xlolx

[AZGrizFan]

The Las Vegas allegations were the 10th time Jones had been questioned by police, which also included an incident in April 2006 when police identified him from surveillance video diving for cover after shots were fired at a Nashville gas station. Jones has been arrested five times. Two arrests he did not report to either the Titans or the NFL, leading NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to suspend Jones in April for one season. But Jones has not been convicted of any crimes since being drafted in 2005.

The young man has some issues....my advice would be to STAY AWAY FROM STRIP CLUBS! He doesn't have a good track record at those establishments.....

Did you honestly think that he would stay away from the strip club on "Birthday Bash" weekend in the ATL? Everybody who is "somebody" was in the ATL this weekend!xnodx Strip clubs everywhere were packed. Me and a few of my friend went into a popular Atlanta strip joint Saturday night and their were at NFL players, NBA, and a few rappers there while I was there. Its all about "flossin', its not about the strippers. I seriously doubt that Jones would overlook a chance to "floss" in his own town.

I want to see him floss without an NFL paycheck. That shows his thought process. xnonono2x

Agreed - to not see the danger to his way of life by continuing to put himself in bad situations is just amazingly myopic.

I don't care if it was his grandma's birthday at the strip club. He should be smarter than he is showing. He's an idiot and should be kicked out of the NFL for at least 2 years. Let's see how he handles not having any money.xwhistlex

Now we can all be like Adam "Pacman" Jones by playing this game:

O, I'm not saying that he is right, please dont assume that. I'm saying that you can predict where he is going to land next! His problem is that he has gotten too involved in the streets. Rumors are that he was once a Blood in Atlanta, but this guy is too involved in the streets. He surrounds himself with the people that he does because he knows that their are people out to get him, exspecially now!xnodx Pacman doesnt care about the NFL, he cares about himself and his boys. He won't cut ties with his friends because of "loyalty" and he wont rat them out to the police because then, he would be a marked man. This issue is a lot deeper than a guy just making bad moves!xnodx

Well if you want to be in the streets then be in the streets. You can't be hood and NFL at the sametime. Different worlds different rules. It's not easy but he's got to choose before it's chosen for him.

xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x xnonono2x Pacman reminds me of all of the guys down at the courts that have madd game but for whatever reason they didnt make it into the league(not bacause of talentxeekx ) and they have those "stories" to tell. The only difference between him and those guys is that he made it in!

Ship him to the CFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xnodx

From what I'm hearing, none of the Vegas charges will stick.

I don't think so either but he still bring all this on himself.
He need to drop the crazy one's in his bunch.

He gonna mess up one day and actually BE THERE when something happens and catch a 20 year sentence because some coat-tail rider want's to act a fool. xsmhx

I think that he is too deep into these streets. He has those guys for a reason. Maybe they took falls for him so that he could get to where he got, or maybe he knows that people are after him with them "tools' and he needs his boys to be with him. Whatever it is, its deeper than what we're seeing.xnodx

I still say if he's that deep in the game, he don't need to be playing football. You think if folks looking for him with heat that they can't catch him where he lays his head? If he wants to be that kind of dude then he should just leave the NFL alone. I know plenty of folks that thought they boys would ride for them, but when them people come they scatter like roaches.

True! You remember when the story broke about him letting a known Nashville drug dealer use his car? Add that with the 'Bloods" talk that keeps comming up and you'll see why I say he is in deep. This dude has some MAJOR issues!

I know and he bought that car back at an auction. I feel where you coming from on all points. But if dude is that deep what's gonna stop somebody from smoking him anywhere he's at? If he chooses that road there isn't anything anybody can do for him. I wish him the best cause we don't need another black man dead or in jail because of the streets. Those streets are always watching. So many people claim Bloods and Crips now of days so I don't know about that. But then again his bodyguard is from Carson so who knows. xconfusedx

I agree. Just think of how many "Pacman Jones" we've got running around America today! This dude needs help and I hope that he gets it. Hopefully someone will step in and talk to this young bruh, because he needs it. It puts a black-eye on black men in general when you have this guy walking around and *****ing up everywhere he goes. It makes it that much harder on black out there who are trying to do the right things. Its disgraceful!

Same ole story.

Hung out when they was young, got the word on when to leave growing up so he would not get caught up in something that was bout to go down.

Now that he has millions, these "protectors" are cashing in now.
And it looks like they still telling him to "beat it" before the serious stuff go down cause he has alway's just left before one of them "go off" on somebody.

AI had to learn. xnodx
