Thread: “Pacman” Jones will speak again at Rookie Symposium

    “Pacman” Jones will speak again at Rookie Symposium

    Another fantastic move by the NFL. (insert sarcasm smiley here)

    Believe it or not, the NFL is full of players who are able to stay out of the news and stay out of trouble. HOWEVER....in the NFL's INFINITE wisdom, who do they decide needs to talk to the Rookies?

    Adam "Pacman" Jones!! Who was just arrested this month for punching a woman in the face outside of a nightclub.

    Kudos to the worst commish in history for his hypocricy and outright lame-brained moves.

    For the second straight year, Adam “Pacman” Jones will be one of the speakers at the NFL Rookie Symposium later this month...In the wake of Jones being arrested and charged with one count of assault earlier this week after police said he allegedly punched a woman outside of a Downtown bar on June 5, some have questioned whether that is the right move.

    NFL Vice President of Player Engagement Troy Vincent said that Jones remains on the list of speakers for the symposium, which will be held June 23-29 outside Cleveland. Vincent said Jones’ talk last year was well received by the rookies because it talked about many of the challenges that players face.

    Jones’ talk last year stressed two things – keep a small inner circle of people you can trust, and treat the game along with your career as a business. In light of a third straight summer where Jones is facing fallout from an off-field incident, there will be a lot of people wondering if he is heeding his own words.

    I heard the NFL was also sending O.J. Simpson to speak at a battered women's symposium.

    I can actually understand the move I guess...if anything, he can talk to the rookies about what NOT to do, from personal experience

    Good idea. Pacman can tell everyone what NOT to do.

    I wonder if he ever mentions the fact that a man is in a wheelchair for life because of his assholishness?

    Dude should be in jail.

    Meh. Does anyone think the symposium does much good anyway?

    While we're at it, let's bring in Titus Young. Such an awful decision. Goofdell should be inviting ROLE MODELS, people of GOOD CHARACTER, not this recidivist.
