Adam Jones faces Vegas charges - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Dr. Toro · 03-26-2007

2 misdemeanors, battery and threats.
1 felony, coercion.

NFL career is probably over, regardless of what the league hands down for 2007.

yeah, he will probably spend a year in the hole. after all, a guy was paralyzed for life in the ordeal. but at least he 'kept it real'...

until this whole 'gangsta' mentality goes away, a lot of young men will continue to throw their lives away...and other people's lives

fwiw - Vegas court systems are notoriously harsh on violent offenders...

bye bye Titan's playoff chances....Pac was pretty much solely responsible for 2 and arguably 3 wins last year.....

congratulations Pac...you are now the poster child for bad guys in sports

Tell Vegas to stand in line...

PacMan goes on trial in May on a felony charge of assaulting a police officer in Georgia. After he does his time in Georgia, he can go out to Vegas. Most likely the charges will get dropped if he gets between 3 and 5 years in Georgia, as most expect.

Will he change his name to Ms Pac-man when he goes to prison?

TigerV1 · 03-26-2007

Good riddance.

Dr. Toro · 03-26-2007

Kid had a rough, rough life coming up. His athletic ability was a blessing that let him transcend all that stuff... it's a shame. Clearly, all the financial incentive in the world couldn't get him to keep his act straight... you gotta wonder what's going on.

**Texans34Life** · 03-26-2007

Thank goodness we didn't pick him in the draft.

More like..."what's going wrong?"

I don't have any sympathy for a guy like him. He may have had a rough life as a ki but hes had 1000 more chances than 99% of kids in his same situation, and he wasted it away like a fool. Things like this take personal responsibility which he clearly lacked.

In Georgia, Pac-Man's mother was arrested and convicted of possession of marijuana. It was his Mom's arrest that led to the assaulting a policie officer charge presently pending against him.

I wonder how fast the Titans race to the podium to fire him?

keyfro · 03-26-2007

good...get him outta the NFL...the guy hasn't learned his leason the 4th, 5th, 6th,....whatever time this is...so i think the commish. needs to come on hard on pacman to send a message to the rest of the players...while he's at it...send another harsh one to chris henry...tired of that guy too

Ouchie. That's a big blow to the Titan's defense.
