Pacman Jones Goes to Canada

I wonder if they have any strip clubs?

SI is announcing that Pacman Jones has reached a one year agreement with the Winnepeg Blue Bombers of the CFL, and that he could join the team as early as Wednesday. Nobody will deny that Pacman Jones is one talented individual. Nobody will deny that as a human being he’s greatly flawed either.

The 26 year old is blessed with great gifts, but his off the field issues are a major concern.

Several NFL general managers said in the last week that Jones has the skill set to be a productive player, but one added: “He’s already got 2 1/2 strikes against him, so he’s just not worth the time.”

He last played in 2007, after serving a one year suspension for being involved in a shooting at a strip club. During the 2007 year he was involved in an altercation with his bodyguard, which resulted in a 4 game suspension. The Cowboys then promptly released him.

He is not suspended from the league, but nobody will touch him due to his propensity to find himself both in strip clubs and trouble. He has not run abreast of the law since 2007, and the CFL promises to be his best chance back to the NFL. The two leagues have a contractual agreement whereby the NFL has a window to sign CFL players even if under contract to a team.

I wish him all the luck in the world, and hope that we don’t have to see this again.

You got crazy eyes? I got Crazy Eyes!

P.S Montreal is only ~1100 miles away from Winnepeg. Montreal is one of the Strip Club capitols of the world. I’m just saying.
