Well, looks like the CFL read my blog after all! LOL, O dear how arrogant of me. But seriously, two days after I blog about Adam "Packidee Wack-man" Jones being signed to play for one year with a team in Canada, reports surface that the team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, won't be signing Sir Sin-a-lot after all. Looks like they've come to their senses, and checked out his background. My question is, why didn't they do this before hand?? It's not like any of this guy's antics over the years have been a secret. How could they have been so obsessed with winning games that they were willing to consider signing him in the first place? This is why I am enjoying reading Tony Dungy's book "Uncommon." He talks a lot about "character" and how the Colts organization has a rule about only drafting or accepting players based on their character as well as their abilities. In fact, he said that when they evaluate players in the NFL draft they have a category on their evaluation forms called "DNDC" or "Do Not Draft because of Character." This practice is exactly why the Colt's have had such a successful run for the past 10 years, and why Dungy had been such an integral part of their success. That said, I really think this Jones kid needs to go back to the basics before he tries to run with the big boys again. He needs a life do-over, and there's no shame in that. The shame is in him thinking that he can go around showing his azz and expect life not to kick it. LOL

Pacman, Wack-man!
Could folks PLEASE stop financing Adam "Pacman" Jones' road to destruction? Please? Someone please just gently nudge this fella towards the light instead of giving him money. Sigh...deep, heavy sigh...I guess Pacman is using his 8th pro football life to play in the Canada Football league (CFL) for one year. Yes, CANADA, how desperate. I wanted to wish this kid well LAST YEAR. I wanted to believe he could get his act together and use his talents when the Cowboys picked him up. Alas, I think he is just too stripper-whipped to be of any good to himself or any professional sports organization. Thus, he left the country to play and practice his debauchery in peace. Seriously, they say that "youth is wasted on the young" and this guy proves that. I don't want to be a sour puss, but I just can't get optimistic about his career move. I don't think he will EVER make it back to the NFL. The NFL only had one bad boy golden ticket and they just gave it to Michael Vick. Granted, Pacman has never been incarcerated, but he might as well have been! He has been doing nothing but being a colossal pain in the arse since he first got drafted (pun intended)! Anyway, I won't watch a single Canadian football game, and I hope he plays a few more years there and finds God. And if he decides to try his hand at a rap career, I'll SCREAMMMMM! LOL
