Don Imus opines on the artist formerly known as Pacman Jones
Don Imus opines on the artist formerly known as Pacman Jones
It makes me sad to tell you that Don Imus, the Pacman Jones of radio hosts, once again has a little bit of explaining to do. I was hoping to be done with Don Imus. I wanted to be, but we're not. This morning, he turned his attention to Pacman Jones, who, like many Rutgers women's basketball players , is black and has tattoos. The following conversation took place on Imus's radio show ...

Do you feel sympathy for Pacman or Don Imus?Stampede Blue
I'm still going to call Adam Jones "Pacman" because Pacman is still a crappy cornerback who makes many dumb decisions on and off the football field.

The Titans were wise to get rid of him, and the Cowboys were fools to ...
