Shocking News: Pacman Jones Involved in Strip Joint Shooting
ATLANTA -- Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones was being sought by police for questioning about a shooting early Monday involving members of his entourage after a fight at an Atlanta strip club.
Jones, his group and three other people got into a fight, apparently over a woman, at a club around 4 a.m., officer Ariel Toledo said.
After everyone involved left the strip club -- the three people in one car, and Jones and his entourage in three other cars _ someone in Jones' group shot at the car, and the others returned fire, Toledo said.
Toledo said Jones was not present when the shots were fired.
"We believe he knows some of his entourage who were involved in the shooting," Toledo said. "On himself, we do not have any charges on him. He wasn't there when the shooting occurred."
It's now official. I love Pacman Jones and I don't care who knows it. Pacman is no longer just a talented but deeply troubled NFL defensive back to me; he's now a symbol. A symbol of everything that's great about this proud nation of ours.
When NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones for the 2007 season, he did it to make an example of him. To show the world that the Pigskin Powers That Be weren't going to put up with this sort of behavior out of the hired help. And a lesser soul might have gone along, laid low, played it safe, tried to keep The Man happy. But not my man Adam. Pacman will keep his own cousel on how to spend his free time, thank you very much. And if rolling with heavily-armed entourages, hanging out in Peel Palaces, starting fights over women at 4 AM and firing caps at someone's ass is wrong...he don't want to be right.
Pacman Jones embodies everything that is good about this country. An independent, iconoclastic rebel who lives by his own rules. A true pioneer in the field of strip joint ballistics. A defender of women who appreciates the fine art of pole dancing. In short, he's a bone fide True American Hero. Thank you for inspiring us all, Pacman. And don't let a little thing like losing out onmillions of dollars by throwing your NFL career away make you give up the life you love.
