Pac-man in trouble?

MORE ON PACMAN'S NEW PROBLEMS

Picking up the ball that we tossed into the fray earlier this week and running strong with it, Terry McCormick of The Nashville City Paper has put a lot more meat on the bone regarding new allegations against Titans first-round draft pick Adam "Pacman" Jones.

Per McCormick, Jones is scheduled to appear before a DeKalb County, Georgia magistrate on Friday for a hearing on whether an arrest warrant should be issued in connection with allegations that Jones hit a woman over the head with a bottle at a local strip club in the early morning hours of April 27 -- less than 72 hours after his name was called as the sixth overall pick in the draft.

Jones' agent, Michael Huyghue, told McCormick that the allegations are "completely false."

"Apparently an allegation was made and later withdrawn. I don’t believe this has much validity. This is a non-incident," Huyghue said. "And if there is a court proceeding on Friday, I think you’ll see that there’s really nothing to this."

Jones' camp claims that Shaguana Jackson (who was with Pacman at the club) is the person who cold-cocked Andrea Akins. Akins claims it was Jones.

Regardless of whether Jones is innocent or guilty, he needs to show better judgment. He dodged a major bullet in round one; if the Titans hadn't taken a chance on him, Jones likely would have fallen out of the top ten, since neither the Cardinals (who selected Antrel Rolle) nor the Redskins (who picked Carlos Rogers) had Jones at the top of their boards at the corner position. Now, he needs to make the team that drafted him not regret the move, especially in light a recent string of Playmakers-style incidents that have plagued the franchise.

As we've said before (and surely will say again), NFL players need to figure out where the "line" is -- and then stay the hell away from it.

Maybe Jones is starting to get smart about the manner in which he should spend his free time. After we posted our story on Monday night, we received an e-mail from Jones, who asked yours truly to give him a call. In a response, yours truly pointed out to Pacman that he hadn't supplied a phone number, and to date Pacman has not replied.

Hopefully, we'll hear from him again. We think he's a phenomenal talent, and that he has a great chance to make a lot of money through marketing opportunities.

Allegations like this, however, won't help him get there.

Regardless of whether Jones is innocent or guilty, he needs to show better judgment.

This is the whole point of the article.... I'm so glad we got Rolle at #8.

Just what the Titans need - another player in trouble - they have had a half-dozen arrested in the past couple of years.

He among us who hasn't hit a stripper over the head with a liquor bottle, let him cast the first stone.

So it was Ms. Pacman who hit someone with the bottle?

I wasn't sure either but I assume he took his girlfriend out for a romantic evening at the strip club.

Why do I get this feeling that if you had a meeting of all NFL agents, there would be a Blanket Party on Rosenhaus?
